Vehicular Networking Conference

VNC 2016


Computer Networks & Wireless Communication



The 2018 IEEE Vehicular Networking Conference (VNC) seeks to bring together researchers, professionals, and practitioners to present and discuss recent developments and challenges in vehicular networking technologies, and their applications. The topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
* 5G technologies for connected vehicles
* New V2X technologies: Cellular V2X (C-V2X), Vehicular visible light communications (VLC), TV White Spaces (TVWS), etc.
* Millimeter wave (mmWave) for V2X communication
* Communications and networking for automated and semi-automated vehicles: cooperative perception, cooperative maneuvering, cooperative intersections and highways, platooning
* Congestion and awareness control in vehicular networks
* Safety and non-safety applications of vehicular networks, including ITS
* V2V, V2I and V2X communications and networking protocols
* Vehicular communications with VRUs (Vulnerable Road Users) e.g., with bicyclists, pedestrians, etc.
* Collaborative mapping and localization systems
* Connected smart parking systems
* In-vehicle communications (wireless or wired)
* Radio propagation aspects of vehicular networks: channel measurements, propagation models, antenna design, etc.
* Protocols for vehicular networking (radio resource management, link layer, routing, mobility management, dissemination, transport etc.)
* Security, privacy, liability, and dependability in vehicular networks
* Network and QoS management for vehicular networks
* Simulation and performance evaluation techniques for vehicular networks
* Results from experimental systems, testbeds, and pilot studies
* Impact assessments of vehicular networks on safety, transportation efficiency, and the environment
* Communications related to electric and hybrid vehicles
* Heterogeneous networking approaches (multi-radio, multi-channel, multi-application, multi-technology)
* Integration of V2V with on-board systems and networks
* Vehicular networking architectures and system design
* Applications and services to enhance driver experience, performance, and behavior
* V2X and IoT Integration
* V2X-based big data applications and services
* Machine-learning techniques for efficient V2X communications
* Cooperative driving
All submitted papers will be peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will appear in the conference proceedings and will be submitted to the IEEE Xplore Digital Library.
