Vehicular networking and communication systems is an area of significant importance in our increasingly connected and
mobile world. Effective vehicular connectivity techniques can significantly enhance efficiency of travel, reduce traffic incidents
and improve safety, mitigate the impact of congestion, and overall provide a more comfortable experience. Towards this goal,
the 2014 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. Topics
of interest include (but are not limited to):
– Applications of vehicular networks, including ITS
– Vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) communications
– Vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I) communications
– Vehicle-to-X (V2X) communications (e.g., with bicyclists, pedestrians, etc.)
– In-vehicle communications
– Radio technologies for V2X (radio resource management, propagation models, antennas, etc.)
– Protocols for vehicular networks (MAC/link layer, routing, mobility management, dissemination, transport, applications etc.)
– Architectures, algorithms and protocols for data dissemination, processing, and aggregation in vehicular networks
– 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-application)
– Integration of V2V with on-board systems and networks
