Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Intelligent vehicle networks and communications are developing rapidly towards high reliability, low latency, high intelligence and high security. Their core technologies cover multiple dimensions, such as communication protocols, AI algorithms, security architecture and green design, laying a solid foundation for enhancing the intelligence of future transportation systems. Next-generation V2X communication technology achieves ultra-low latency, high reliability and large-scale device connection by integrating 5G and 6G networks, thus supporting autonomous driving and real-time traffic management. The advancement of cellular wireless communication technology has promoted the multimodal interaction of vehicles with infrastructure, pedestrians and other vehicles, providing underlying support for intelligent transportation systems. Machine learning algorithms are used for traffic flow prediction, path planning and vehicle cooperative control, significantly improving the dynamic response capability of the network. Through AI technology, functions such as vehicle platooning and automatic navigation can be established, reducing the risks posed by human operation and improving the functionality of road resources.
Intelligent vehicle networking technology extends to fields such as smart medical care, the industrial Internet of Things and agriculture, promoting collaborative innovation in multiple scenarios. This Special Issue aims to bring together papers that demonstrate innovative research, practical applications and future trends in intelligent vehicular networks and communications. We welcome original submissions that address key challenges, propose new frameworks and demonstrate the potential of artificial intelligence in vehicle communication systems.

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.
