Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Early research shows that connected vehicle can save 75% of human errors in driving and reduce vehicle collisions and fatalities enormously. It also saves billions of dollars of economic losses by reducing traffic congestion time and amount of fuel consumption. The connectivity of the vehicle is achieved through vehicular networks in the forms of Vehicle-to-Vehicle (V2V) and Vehicle-to-Infrastructure (V2I) communication. Vehicular networks is the emerging technology for the future Intelligent Transportation System (ITS). The inherent drawback of vehicular network is the intermittent connectivity due to the mobility of vehicle and the nature of lossy wireless communication (e.g., path loss, fading and shadowing). A sustainable or stable vehicular network is the key for the successful deployment of V2X (Vehicle-to-Everything) communication in the future CAV (Connected and Autonomous Vehicle).
For a stable vehicular networks there still need of researches in sustainable vehicular communication considering underlying constraints such as lossy wireless channel, obstructed communication channel (e.g., urban canyon, big vehicles etc.), intersection communication, dense traffic situation etc.
This special issue covers the following relevant areas, but are not limited to:
- Sustainable Vehicular communication
- V2V, V2I and V2X communication
- Sustainable algorithm and routing protocol
- Sustainable data dissemination
- Sustainable vehicular clustering
- Safe driving and intelligent transportation
- MAC enhancement
- Path loss, fading and shadowing
- Sustainable channel modeling
- State estimation

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 papers will be 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 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
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. Sustainability 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 1900 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.
