Call for papers: "Applications of Intelligent and Connected Vehicle Technologies in Vehicle Monitoring, Controls and Diagnostics"

For a special issue of the International Journal of Powertrains.

The increase in population and the number of cars on the road, the emergence and expansion of mega regions with dense populations, cost and capacity limitations for adding new roads and highways, global climate concerns, energy resource constraints, urban road traffic congestions and increasing demand for vehicle fleet operations are just a few of the drivers for the development and advancement of intelligent vehicle transportation (ITS), vehicle to vehicle (V2V) communication and connected vehicle technologies.

These systems represent a group of technologies that connect vehicles to other vehicles or to infrastructure receivers and monitoring centres to improve transportation system management and vehicle fleet operation, as well as individual vehicle operation including powertrain and vehicle controls for safety, fuel economy and emissions.

This special issue aims to present innovative technologies and applications of ITS and V2V networking technologies in powertrain and vehicle control.

Suitable topics include, but are not limited to, the following:
  • Vehicle to vehicle and vehicle to infrastructure new technologies and applications including monitoring, cloud computing and IT
  • ITS and V2V networking applications in vehicle and powertrain control and diagnostics
  • ITS and V2V networking applications in fleet vehicle management
  • ITS and V2V networking applications in start-stop, hybrid and electric vehicles
  • Intelligent driving assistant systems and eco-driving
  • Applications of ITS and V2V networking information in improvement of vehicle and fleet fuel economy, emissions and safety

Important Dates
Submission of manuscripts: 31 March, 2014
Notification to authors: 15 September, 2014
Final versions due: 15 November, 2014
