Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Autonomous vehicles have become an important research area in recent years. Autonomous vehicle development and its design challenges such as localization, communication, perception, prediction, and safety are emerging topics. It is important to further discuss how to design and develop autonomous vehicle systems and to address its challenges, limitations, and disadvantages.
Sensors are the backbone of autonomous vehicles, making them safer, more reliable, and more intelligent.
This Special Issue aims to publish high-quality papers that address the challenges involved in the design, communication, and control of autonomous vehicle systems for applications in different domains such as intelligent transportation, smart manufacturing, military, etc.
Authors interested in the proposed Special Issue are invited to contribute by submiting their unpublished research results addressing, but not limited, to the following topics:
- Unmanned/autonomous vehicles;
- Unmanned/autonomous driving;
- Sensor fusion for autonomous vehicles;
- Control systems for autonomous vehicles;
- Intelligent transportation using autonomous vehicles;
- Manufacturing automation based on autonomous vehicles.
