Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
With the rapid evolution of communication and computation technologies, intelligent vehicular networks have emerged as a key enabler for enhanced traffic management, road safety, and autonomous driving. The integration of 6G technologies, artificial intelligence (AI), edge computing, and the blockchain is enabling intelligent vehicular networks with real-time, ultra-reliable, low-latency, and high-throughput communications. Despite these advancements, several challenges remain, including security vulnerabilities, intermittent connectivity, and efficient data management in highly dynamic vehicular environments.
This Special Issue focuses on innovative solutions and emerging trends, addressing the design, optimization, and implementation of advanced technologies for intelligent vehicular networks. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, novel network architectures, AI-driven mobility models, vehicular cloud and edge computing, secure communication protocols, and efficient routing mechanisms for real-time vehicle-to-everything (V2X) communication. Additionally, contributions exploring the role of software-defined networking (SDN), the blockchain, game theory, and deep learning for vehicular network optimization are welcomed.
By bringing together cutting-edge research and comprehensive reviews, this Special Issue seeks to advance the development of robust, scalable, and intelligent vehicular communication systems. The goal is to address existing challenges and pave the way for next-generation smart transportation networks, ensuring seamless, secure, and efficient vehicular communications.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Electronics is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2400 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
