Internet of Vehicles

Dear Colleagues,

The first deployments at large scale of connected vehicles are happening throughout the world. Connected through ad-hoc networks, these vehicles are giving birth to an actual “Internet of Vehicles”, which builds the foundation of a next generation of traffic management systems.  

While day-one applications were relatively straightforward to implement, higher-level applications, like the monitoring of environmental and weather conditions and of the infrastructure and its equipment, depend both on the metrological characteristics of the in-vehicle sensors and on the computational architecture, as well as on the algorithms. However, the ability to implement such applications is a key issue, e.g. to enable the safe deployment of highly-automated vehicles, or to implement automated enforcement strategies in restricted zones.

This Special Issue welcomes contributions dealing with all the technological facets of the Internet of Vehicles, including architecture, communication technologies, advanced applications, sensing and algorithms, but also on deployment issues, such as the development of energy-efficient RSUs.

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-anonymized 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.
