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 communications

Channel modelling, modulating and coding

Congestion Control and scalability issues

Protocol design, testing and verification

Routing in vehicular networks

Security issues and countermeasures

Deployment and field testing

Reducing energy consumption and enhancing safety of vehicles

Wireless in–car networks

Data collection and dissemination methods

Mobility and handover issues

Safety and driver assistance applications

UAV

Underwater communications

Autonomous cooperative driving

Social networks

Internet of vehicles

Standardization of protocols.
