Advanced Vehicle to Everything (V2X) Communication and Application in Vehicle-Environment Cooperative Control

Dear Colleagues,

The recent advanced wireless communication technologies brings the application of V2X communication into a new stage, prospering the rapid development of Internet of Vehicles (IoVs). In addition, the ultra-wide bandwidth and ultra-high speed in IoVs promote the information sharing and exploitation in IoVs, and enable further investigation in Mobile Edge Computing (MEC), which all underpin the proposal of novel vehicle-environment co-operation solutions. With vehicle-environment cooperative control strategies, connected electric vehicles can attain better fuel economy because abundant environmental information from IoVs is incorporated to instruct the optimal decision making. Automatic vehicles, shared with states of surrounding vehicles and infrastructures via V2X communication, can make smart decisions in safe and eco autonomous driving. To guarantee optimal application effectiveness of vehicle-environment co-operation, key techniques, e.g., V2X communication technologies, advanced MEC frameworks, wireless resource allocation, etc., must be investigated in details. To fully exploit potential of V2X communication, more vehicle-environment cooperation control solutions are needed. This Special Issue will seek dramatic solutions among the high-quality submissions. The topics of interest cover V2X communication optimization, MEC application in connected and automatic vehicles, IoVs application and vehicle-environment cooperative control application in connected and automatic vehicles. The suggested topics include but not limit to:

• Advanced resource ooptimization technologies in V2X communication.
• MEC framework design, optimization and implementation towards connected and automatic vehicles.
• IoVs application and optimization towards connected and automatic vehicles.
• Vehicle-environment cooperative control methods for connected automatic vehicles with target of eco-driving.
• Vehicle-environment cooperative control methods for connected automatic vehicles with target of safe and efficient autonomous driving.
• Vehicle-environment cooperative control methods for connected automatic vehicles with target of smart energy system management.
