Recent Advances in Vehicular Networks special issue of EURASIP Journal on Wireless Communications and Networking

Call for Papers

One of the most researched directions in modern automotive industry is the design, development, and deployment of vehicular ad hoc networks (VANETs) that aim to improve road safety (including collision avoidance, traffic congestion information, and detection of, as well as alerting to, road conditions) whilst providing ample opportunities for commercial applications such as communication and mobile infotainment.

Successful and widespread usage of VANETs necessitates the development of novel technologies that satisfy the requirements for high-performance, highly reliable, highly scalable, secure, and privacy-preserving communications, both between vehicles and roadside units and amongst vehicles themselves, and thus presents an extraordinary challenge for the wireless research community. This is the main reason why VANETs are a very active area of research, development, standardization, and field trials throughout the world, in academia, industry, and government alike. These efforts include, but are not limited to, the e-Safety framework of the European Union, the IntelliDrive initiative in the US, Smartway, DSSS (Driving Safety Support System), and ASV (Advanced Safety Vehicle) in Japan, and others. Standardization efforts include ISO TC204 and IEEE (802.11p and 1609.x), SAE J2735 in the US, ETSI TC ITS and CEN WG278 in Europe, and ARIB T-75 in Japan.

We propose this special issue that will solicit high-quality papers from researchers and practitioners throughout the world, presenting the new and exciting research results related to the theory or practice of vehicular ad hoc networks and vehicular internetworking. Potential topics include, but are not limited to:

Channel modeling Modulation and coding Power control and scalability issues Medium access control protocols Multiple access techniques for VANETs Multichannel organization and operation Communication protocol design Safety, efficiency, and commercial applications Vehicle-to-vehicle/roadside/internet communication Simulation frameworks Field operational testing Test methodologies Impact assessment Network management Security issues and countermeasures Privacy issues All submissions must describe original research results and must not be published or currently under review for another workshop, conference, or journal.

Before submission authors should carefully read over the journal's Author Guidelines, which are located at http://www.hindawi.com/journals/wcn/guidelines/. Prospective authors should submit an electronic copy of their complete manuscript through the journal Manuscript Tracking System at http://mts.hindawi.com/ according to the following timetable:
