CALL FOR PAPERS

*Connected vehicles in Intelligent Transportation Systems*

IEEE Transactions on Intelligent Transportation Systems


*Scope:*
Connected Vehicles is one of many applications that can be integrated in
the Intelligent Transportation Systems, encompassing all aspects of road
transport, traffic management, mobility management and vehicle
communication. Recently it has been further enhanced by the concept of
Internet of Vehicles (IoV).
Connected Vehicles enables any vehicle, anywhere, to act as a smart node,
collecting and sharing information on vehicles, roads and the surroundings.
This information can then be distributed to other vehicles,
vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) communication, and road users, vehicle-to-human
(V2H) communication, for an improved road experience. Information can also
be forwarded towards traffic control systems, vehicle-to-infrastructure
(V2I) communication, for improved traffic management and road safety.
Implementation of connected vehicles in intelligent transportation systems
will revolutionize the way we drive. There are however many issues that
need to be resolved to achieve maximum potential including privacy and
security issues, data processing and storage, development of standards and
regulations across all platforms, establishing new communication protocols
and system architectures and the creation of new services and applications.

This Special Issue on “Connected vehicles in Intelligent Transportation
Systems” is focused on intelligent transportation systems using vehicle
communications and their applications, protocols, standards, and advanced
technologies. The topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

     • Connected vehicles and Internet of Vehicles (IoV)
     • Vehicle to Vehicle (V2V) communication
     • Vehicle to Infrastructure (V2I) communication
     • Design and development of communications protocols and
infrastructure and standards for connected vehicles
     • Control, Modeling, Simulation and experiments for connected vehicles
     • Testing, evaluation and verification
     • Vehicle location prediction
     • Event detection based on V2V and V2I connectivity
     • Peer-to-Peer data sharing
     • Context-Aware Internet of Things Services for intelligent
transportation
     • Context Aware Computing and Internet of Things Services in
intelligent transportation
     • Authentication and secure V2V communication in IoV
