Special Issue on "Vehicular Communications, Networks, and Applications"

Aims and Scope

Vehicular communication and networking have been identified as key
technologies for
increasing road safety and transport efficiency.
Vehicular networks aim to ensure traffic safety for drivers, provide
comfort for
passengers and reduce transportation time and fuel
consumption. The development of vehicular communication and networking
technologies
are expected to enable many potential applications
, including automatic collision notification and prevention, emergency
management, assistances for safe driving, real-time traffic
congestion notification, location-based driver information services,
high-speed
tolling, vehicle tracking, automobile Internet access,
and many others. To facilitate these applications, many different types of
communication and networking would be involved, including
intra-vehicle, vehicle-to-vehicle (V-to-V), vehicle-to-roadside (V-to-R) and
vehicle-to-infrastructure (V-to-I) communications.

This special issue aims to foster the dissemination of high-quality,
original,
unpublished research covering all aspects related to
the Vehicular Communications, Networks, and Applications. Topics of interest
include, but not limited to, the followings:

Availability and Scalability Issues in Vehicular Networks
Communication Protocol Design for Vehicular Networks
Cooperative Vehicular Communications
Cross-layer Design and Optimization for Vehicular Networks
Emergency Applications and Technologies in Vehicular Networks
