Vehicular Communications

Vehicular communications is a growing area of communications between vehicles and including roadside communication infrastructure. Advances in wireless communications are making possible sharing of information through real time communications between vehicles and infrastructure. This has led to applications to increase safety of vehicles and communication between passengers and the Internet. Standardization efforts on vehicular communication are also underway to make vehicular transportation safer, greener and easier.The aim of the journal is to publish high quality peer–reviewed papers in the area of vehicular communications. The scope encompasses all types of communications involving vehicles, including vehicle–to–vehicle and vehicle–to–infrastructure. The scope includes (but not limited to) the following topics related to vehicular communications:Vehicle to vehicle and vehicle to infrastructure communicationsChannel modelling, modulating and codingCongestion Control and scalability issuesProtocol design, testing and verificationRouting in vehicular networksSecurity issues and countermeasuresDeployment and field testingReducing energy consumption and enhancing safety of vehiclesWireless in–car networksData collection and dissemination methodsMobility and handover issuesSafety and driver assistance applicationsUAVUnderwater communicationsAutonomous cooperative drivingSocial networksInternet of vehiclesStandardization of protocols.
