Scope and Motivation: ----------------------

The first deployments at large scale of connected vehicles are happening throughout the world. Connected through ad-hoc networks, these vehicles are giving birth to an actual “Internet of Vehicles”, which builds the foundation of a next generation of traffic management systems.  

While day-one applications were relatively straightforward to implement, higher-level applications, like the monitoring of environmental and weather conditions and of the infrastructure and its equipment, depend both on the metrological characteristics of the in-vehicle sensors and on the computational architecture, as well as on the algorithms. However, the ability to implement such applications is a key issue, e.g. to enable the safe deployment of highly-automated vehicles, or to implement automated enforcement strategies in restricted zones.

This Special Issue welcomes contributions dealing with all the technological facets of the Internet of Vehicles, including architecture, communication technologies, advanced applications, sensing and algorithms, but also on deployment issues, such as the development of energy-efficient RSUs. Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers) :  

• IoV architectures and protocols 
• Benchmarking of communication technologies in IoV 
• Advanced IoV applications
• Advanced sensing and measurement characterization for IoV applications 
• Machine learning algorithms for IoV 
• Sensor calibration for IoV 
• Fog computing (edge computing) in IoV 
• SmartX (cities; vehicles; platoons) 
• Energy efficiency and road side units (energy harvesting; RF energy transfer) for IoV
• Modelling and performance evaluation 
• Deployment pilots and issues 
• Safety, security and privacy in IoV 
• Communication technologies (DSRC/WAVE, 5G, LTE, Wifi, ...) 
• Protocols, architectures and applications for the Internet of Vehicles

Deadline for manuscript submissions: 30 June 2019
