Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The rapid advancement of Vehicle-to-Everything (V2X) communication technologies presents unprecedented opportunities for enhancing transportation safety, efficiency, and sustainability. This Special Issue on "Sustainable V2X Communication: Intelligent Sensing and Green Connectivity" aims to explore how advanced sensor technologies and intelligent algorithms can be leveraged to create eco-friendly and robust V2X systems.
This Special Issue invites original research articles, reviews, and case studies that address various aspects of sustainable V2X communication. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:
Federated Learning: Collaborative model training across vehicles and infrastructure while preserving privacy and reducing data transfer.
Spiking Neural Networks (SNNs) and Reservoir Computing: Energy-efficient neural network architectures for real-time sensor data processing in resource-constrained V2X devices.
Physics-Informed Neural Networks (PINNs): Integrating physical models of traffic flow and vehicle dynamics into neural networks for improved prediction and control, optimizing energy consumption and emissions.
Trustworthiness and Security: Secure and reliable communication protocols for V2X, addressing data integrity, authentication, and privacy in the context of sustainability-focused algorithms.
Continual Learning: Adapting V2X systems to evolving traffic patterns and environmental conditions without catastrophic forgetting, ensuring long-term efficiency and sustainability.
Edge Computing for Sustainable V2X: Deploying intelligent algorithms at the network edge to minimize latency and reduce energy consumption associated with cloud-based processing.
Energy-Aware Communication Protocols: Designing communication protocols that minimize energy consumption in V2X networks.
Sustainable Mobility Applications: V2X applications that promote eco-friendly transportation, such as eco-routing, cooperative adaptive cruise control, and optimized traffic management.
We encourage submissions from academic researchers, industry professionals, and other stakeholders working in this dynamic field. Contributions that address real-world challenges, propose innovative solutions, or provide insightful reviews of current trends and future directions in sustainable V2X communication are particularly welcome.

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.
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.
