Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In the rapidly evolving landscape of vehicle automation, intelligent sensors and sophisticated control systems play crucial roles in enhancing the safety, efficiency, and reliability of autonomous vehicles. This Special Issue, entitled "Intelligent Sensors and Control for Vehicle Automation", invites contributions that explore innovative sensor technologies and control strategies that advance the state of the art in vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) and vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I) communications. It will address challenges such as sensor failures and communication disruptions, and their impact on the functionality and safety of automated vehicles. We are particularly interested in research that investigates how these technologies can mitigate traffic disruptions and improve the overall efficiency of transportation systems.
This Special Issue aims to gather insights into the integration of emerging technologies like AI and data analytics with sensor systems to create robust solutions for vehicle automation. Contributions should emphasize novel approaches in dealing with sensor reliability, enhancing communication systems, and ensuring seamless operation under varying environmental conditions. Papers that discuss the socio-economic impacts of automated vehicle technologies, such as their effect on traffic dynamics and urban mobility, are also welcome.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Advanced Sensor Technologies in Vehicle Automation: Studies on the latest developments in sensor design and functionality that enhance automated vehicle performance.
- Control Strategies for Autonomous Vehicles: Research focusing on innovative control mechanisms that ensure safety and reliability in the face of sensor and communication failures.
- Impact of Sensor and Communication Failures: Analysis of how failures affect vehicle behavior and traffic systems, with strategies for mitigation.
- Integration of V2V and V2I Communications: Exploration of how vehicle communication systems can enhance sensor data accuracy and vehicle coordination.
- Data-Driven Approaches in Vehicle Automation: Utilization of big data and AI to improve sensor capabilities and decision-making processes in autonomous vehicles.
This Special Issue will provide a comprehensive platform for researchers and practitioners to present their latest findings and innovations in the field of vehicle automation. By focusing on intelligent sensors and control, the issue seeks to propel forward the capabilities and adoption of automated vehicles in modern transportation systems.
