Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
With further developments in Internet of Things (IoT) technology, intelligent transportation systems (ITS), which integrate connected transportation systems and vehicles, have greatly advanced in effective traffic management. However, risks and challenges regarding safety and privacy have emerged, necessitating the development of disruptive technologies for future ITSs to meet the growing security requirements.
As a decentralized and trustworthy solution, blockchain technology has been widely used in various academic and industrial areas, such as the Internet of Things, transportation, finance, cybersecurity, etc. With potential capabilities, the blockchains enable a transparent and traceable way of storing and sharing information, thus enabling secure communication between vehicles. Blockchain-based privacy-preserving solutions and strategies can thus ensure effective ITS implementations.
This Special Issue will focus on advanced research regarding the potential applications of blockchains in intelligent transportation systems. We welcome original research on current trends and challenges in blockchain-enabled privacy preserving for intelligent transportation systems. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Blockchain-based security, privacy, and trust;
- Blockchain architectures, protocols, and algorithms;
- Vehicle communications;
- Privacy preservation;
- Internet of vehicles;
- Intelligent transport system;
- Autonomous vehicles;
- Vehicular networks.
