Ensuring high-bandwidth, low-latency and high-reliability vehicle-to-everything (V2X) connectivity will enable vehicles to collect huge amounts of data generated by the myriad of on-board and external sensors. Once collected, such data needs to be properly processed and mined to allow human drivers and self-driving cars to build an accurate view of their surroundings, so to promptly react to unexpected events and cooperatively plan maneuvers for a safer, greener, more efficient and comfortable driving and traveling experience. Nonetheless the well recognized potential of fifth generation (5G) technologies for future vehicular applications, research opportunities still need to be adequately disclosed, especially when considering the soaring demands of automotive applications ultimately leading to cooperative and fully automated driving and the ongoing 5G evolutions towards more disruptive and innovative solutions at different layers of the computing and protocol stacks. This Special Issue encourages the submission of high-quality, innovative and original contributions (both theory and practice) covering advances in the field of 5G and beyond technologies to enable vehicular applications. In addition, it welcomes also survey papers scanning the relevant literature and ongoing research efforts and experimentations. The technical areas include but are not limited to:

* Wireless technologies and spectrum for vehicular applications (IEEE 802.11p/bd, Cellular-V2X, 5G NR V2X, THz, Li-Fi, mmWave) * Novel physical layer and access techniques (e.g., Reconfigurable Intelligent Surfaces, Full-duplex, Non-Orthogonal Multiple Access) * Network softwarization and programmability (e.g., Software-defined networking, Network Function Virtualization, P4, Network Slicing) * Vehicular applications (e.g., tele-operated driving, extended horizon, platooning, cooperative sensing and maneuvering, system diagnostics) * 5G cloud/edge computing to support vehicular applications * Vehicular cloud/edge computing * 5G and potential HMI advancements * Internet of Things technologies and protocols for vehicular applications * Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning for vehicular applications * Localization techniques to support vehicular applications * Security and Privacy for vehicular applications * System performance and measurement for vehicular applications Paper Submission Link: [ https://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/oj-its | https://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/oj-its ] (choose manuscript type 5GVEH) Accepted papers will be published upon acceptance as early access.
