Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Vehicular Ad Hoc Networks (VANETs) is a novel and growing paradigm that enables seamless communication among vehicles, roadside infrastructure, and wireless devices. Vehicular communication networks are gaining the attention of academic, government, and industry sectors. A vehicular network has the potential to contribute to safer and more efficient transportation systems by providing a diversity of services and timely information to drivers, passengers and authorities. Existing and envisioned applications range from arterial management, adaptive signal control, accident avoidance warnings, parking lot controls, speed limits, lane management, and traffic management, to vehicle-to-vehicle-based applications such as collision avoidance, collision notification, driver assistance, intelligent navigation, adaptive cruise control, and precision parking).
The aim of this special edition journal is to attract and publish high quality peer–reviewed papers in the area of mobile and vehicular communications. The editorial board invites researchers to contribute to the field of vehicular communications, including vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V), vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I), and vehicle-to-everything (V2X) types of communication. Therefore, the scope of this journal includes, but is not limited to, the following topics related to vehicular networks:
- Data Dissemination in Vehicular Ad Hoc Networks
- Routing in Vehicular Networks
- Data Hovering in Vehicular Ad Hoc Networks
- Vehicle-to-vehicle, vehicle-to-infrastructure, and vehicle-to-everything protocols and algorithms
- Modelling and Analysis of Vehicular Network Protocols
- Simulation of Vehicular Networks
- Performance evaluation of vehicular network protocols
- Scalability issues in Large-scale Vehicular Networks
- Vehicular Sensor Networks
- Security issues in vehicular communications
- Testbeds and testing
- In-car wireless networks
- Vehicular networks and IoT
- Vehicular Cloud Networks
- Vehicular Network Applications
