Vehicular Networks and Communications

Dear Colleagues,

Vehicular networks have the potential to address most traffic-related issues ranging from traffic jams and accidents, to pollution control and traffic management. This is possible by the effective utilization of accurate traffic prediction, and cooperative traffic information sharing over vehicular networks. Due to the recent advances in sensor and communication technologies, vehicular networks are transforming towards the Internet of Connected Vehicles (IoV). Due to the enabling technologies for heterogeneous vehicular communications, including Vehicle-to-Vehicle (V2V), Vehicle-to-Roadside unit (V2R), Vehicle-to-Personal Devices (V2P), Vehicle-to-Mobile-Infrastructure (V2I), and Vehicle-to-Sensor (V2S) communications. In order to enable a Vehicle-to-Everything (V2X)-centric IoV framework, various technical questions need to be addressed, focusing on the quality of service in heterogeneous wireless communication environments.

You are welcome to submit an unpublished original research work related to the theme of ‘Vehicular Networks and Communications’ in sensor-enabled communication network environments.
