3rd IEEE International Symposium on Wireless Vehicular Communications (IEEE WiVeC’2010)

16th-17th May 2010, Grand Hotel, Taipei, Taiwan

Sponsored by the IEEE Vehicular Technology Society (VTS)

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

Wireless vehicular communications has been identified as a key technology for increasing road safety and transport efficiency, and providing Internet access on the move to ensure wireless ubiquitous connectivity. The potential of this technology has been acknowledged with the establishment of ambitious research programs worldwide in Europe, US and Asia.

 

The IEEE Vehicular Technology Society (VTS) currently covers through its areas of interest (Mobile Radio, Transportation Systems and Automotive Electronics) all technical aspects needed to make wireless vehicular communications a reality. As a result, the IEEE VTS society decided to establish a technical symposium on wireless vehicular communications co-located with the reputed IEEE VTC conferences.

 

The IEEE International Symposium on Wireless Vehicular Communications (WiVeC) will cover all vehicular wireless communications aspects of Vehicle-to-Vehicle (V2V), Vehicle-to-Infrastructure (V2I) and Vehicle-to-Person (V2P) communications, including implications on transport efficiency and safety, implications on automotive electronics, liability issues, standardizations efforts and spectrum assignment.

 

After the successful first and second WiVeC editions in 2007 and 2008, the third IEEE WiVeC symposium will be co-located with the 71th IEEE Vehicular Technology Conference 2010 Spring conference, and will take place at the Grand Hotel in Taipei on the 16th and 17th of May 2010. Combined registrations packages will be offered for WiVeC and VTC events.

 

All accepted papers (full length and demo papers) will be included in the VTC 2010-Spring conference proceedings and will be published on the IEEE Xplore database.

 

Note: VTC Fall editions are traditionally located in North America, while VTC Spring is located in other areas of the world. Since WiVeC was originally launched co-located with VTC Fall editions, the IEEE Vehicular Technology Society decided that WiVeC would take place every year and a half in order to ensure that the conference is alternatively co-located with VTC Fall and Spring editions. This resulted in that there was no WiVeC edition in 2009.

 

 

Topics of interest

------------------

The WiVec Symposium seeks original papers - not published or currently under review for another workshop, conference, or journal - in the area of vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V), vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I), and vehicle-to-person (V2P) wireless communications. Vehicular communication areas of interest include, but are not limited to:

 

* RF technologies, antenna design, physical layer and propagation models.

* Radio resource management and interference management.

* Spectrum assignment and EMC regulations.

* Architecture, networking protocols (including ad-hoc, routing, data dissemination, etc) and their evalutation.

* QoS and cross-layer optimization design.

* Communications systems and technologies.

* Testbeds and simulation platforms.

* Interworking with sensor network technologies.

* In-car electronics and embedded integration of wireless vehicular communications.

* Roadside infrastructure.

* Mobility management, mobility and vehicle traffic models.

* Digital maps and location technologies.

* Decision and control issues.

* Human-Machine Interface.

* Applications (Ecall, toll collection, traffic information, wireless diagnosis etc.).

* Security, liability and privacy.

* Standards development, business models, policies (e.g., Cooperative aspects of vehicular communication).

* Assessment of impact on transport efficiency and safety.

* Scalability issues in metropolitan-wide vehicular networks.
