Special Issue Information
Vehicular ad hoc networks (VANETs) are one of the key areas of research for both industry and academia. The world’s largest automobile companies are continuously striving to introduce intelligence in automobiles through the convergence of cutting-edge sensing, communication, and control technologies. The main objective of all these studies and development efforts is to realize a safe, economical, environmentally friendly, and reliable transportation system.
The rapid advancements in vehicular networks and communication systems have brought about transformative changes in the automotive industry. The integration of wireless communication technologies, sensor networks, and intelligent transportation systems has paved the way for safer, more efficient, and environmentally friendly transportation. This Special Issue aims to present a comprehensive review of the recent advances achieved in vehicular networks and communication systems, highlighting the most recent research and innovations in this field. The topics covered include vehicular ad hoc networks (VANETs), intelligent transportation systems (ITS), connected vehicles, cooperative communication, security and privacy issues, and emerging technologies. This Special Issue aims to provide valuable insights into the current state of the art, challenges, and future directions of vehicular networks and communication systems.
You are welcome to submit your original research related to the theme of advances in vehicular networks and communication systems in sensor-enabled communication network environments, vehicular networks, communication systems, vehicular ad hoc networks, intelligent transportation systems, connected vehicles, cooperative communication, security, privacy, and emerging technologies.
