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All submissions must describe original research results and must not be 
published or currently under review for another workshop, conference, or 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
