Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The growing number of moving vehicles, motorcyclists, cyclists,
and pedestrians, mainly in the urban environment, leads to an increased number
of accidents, traffic jams, and to higher levels of energy consumption and
pollution. Traffic accidents take thousands of lives each year and cause
critical injuries to millions of persons; nevertheless, vehicles, as standalone
machines, are getting safer, more efficient, more comfortable, and providing an
overall better user experience, with increasing levels of automation.
Vehicles use on-board communication units in order to
exchange data with each other and with any infrastructural support, by means of
Vehicle-to-Vehicle (V2V), Vehicle-to-Infrastructure (V2I), and
Vehicle-to-Pedestrian (V2P) interactions, generically classified as
“Vehicle-to-X (V2X) communication”.
V2X communication systems enable information sharing
and usage of cooperative approaches in order to increase road safety, avoid
accidents and traffic congestions, give priority to emergency vehicles, and
also cope with vulnerable road users. New and challenging V2X research issues
arise from recent technologic developments, allowing the growth of either
assisted or autonomous driving modes.
This Special Issue on “Vehicle-To-Everything
Communication” is aimed at recent research findings, coming both from industry
and academic R&D, with important contributions to ITS application
development, either at safety, efficiency, management, and comfort or
infotainment areas. The key areas of this Special Issue include but are not
limited to:
V2X for cooperative and autonomous driving; cellular
V2X communications; V2X for extended sensing and autonomous awareness; V2X for
emergency vehicles; V2X for smart mobility; V2X modeling and testing; safety,
security, and privacy in V2X; connected vehicles and vulnerable road users;
simulation platforms for V2X; new vehicular network architectures; named data
networks for connected vehicles.

form.
Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All papers will be
peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal
(as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website.
Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited.
For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to
the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published
previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except
conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through
a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant
information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Information is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly
journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 1000 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well
formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to
publication or during author revisions.
