Special Issue Information

The next generation of vehicular services and networks will be driven by large volumes of highly dynamic data, often linked to real-time perception, autonomous control and immersive applications. AI and machine learning will intrinsically enable the networks and devices supporting such services to adapt their behavior in the interests of safety, efficiency, and reliability, and to deliver on important service metrics. This Special Issue will look at how AI/ML can deliver improved intelligence to network and service design and operation, and to how it can enhance core technologies.

 

The objective of this Special Issue is to publish state-of-the-art research that uses advances in AI/ML-enhanced networks and services to support ground- and aerial-based vehicles. Topics of interest include:

 

Connectivity:

  • ML techniques for dynamic channel awareness (prediction, estimation, interference mitigation, modelling) in vehicular networks.
  • Intelligent decision making, network management and optimization.
  • Techniques for predictive QoS, user experience modelling and optimization.
  • Intelligent in-vehicle communications and networked systems.
  • Emerging technologies such as mmWave, massive MIMO and vehicular light communications (VLC).

Networking and Systems:

  • Intelligent and adaptable edge learning and resource orchestration to support vehicular services.
  • Software platforms/middleware for intelligent service or network management.
  • Diverse and co-existing networks (i.e., multi-network, multi-service, multi-tenant, multi-technology).
  • Real-time and adaptive security and privacy mechanisms.
  • Integrated sensing/communications.

Methods and Applications:

  • Performance of cooperative ML algorithms (e.g., federated learning) in vehicular networks.
  • Intelligent cooperative sensing or driving.
  • Obstacle/vulnerable road user detection and predictive movement.
  • Smart, safe and efficient control/communication co-design.
  • Intelligent automated vehicles within smart manufacturing or smart city environments. 
  • Coordination for cooperative decision making.
  • UAVs as a means of providing critical infrastructure or as an end user.

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. Sensors 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 2600 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.

Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue

  • Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
  • Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
  • Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
  • External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
  • e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
