Intelligent Connected Vehicles

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue focuses on highlighting the progress and technological innovations in connected vehicles. With the rise of the Internet of Vehicles (IoV) and autonomous driving technologies, smart connected vehicles are becoming essential for transportation systems. The increasing demand for transportation solutions is driving the exploration and innovation of technologies in this field. This Special Issue aims to explore how vehicle intelligence merges with internet technologies, covering driving systems, in-vehicle networks, vehicular communication technologies, big data analysis, and applications of intelligence.

Research on vehicles involves integrating various technological areas. There is a growing need to develop tools that can effectively handle these systems while providing reliable analyses. These analyses not only improve our understanding of the processes involved but also greatly contribute to designing processes that accelerate progress in vehicle technologies.

In this research field, experiments are crucial. When paired with testing, they can accelerate the discovery of insights and advancements.

This Special Issue invites research contributions on interconnected cars, specifically how they interact with vehicles, infrastructures, and communication systems. We encourage practical or computational investigations (or a mix of these methods).

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. Vehicles is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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 1800 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.
