Call for Papers
Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) is a core building block in smart cities through which smart, reliable, safe, and efficient transportation solutions are provided. ITS integrated with today’s advanced vehicular and wireless network technologies, such as autonomous and connected vehicles (ACV), will play a crucial role in improving the quality and delivery performance of diversified vehicular services. There are many unprecedented challenges that arise from Autonomous and Connected Vehicle Technologies. These include configuring vehicular cloud services to user requirements, vehicle security issues related to connectivity, big data analytics for intelligent transportation, service composition, power management for smart electric vehicles, and communication deadzones as one of the issues facing implementation and deployment of ACV technology. There is also a need for customized communication technology for the integrated solutions of connected vehicles and smart city sub-systems.
The aim of the Fourth International Workshop on ITAVT is to bring together engineers, researchers, and practitioners interested in the advances and applications in the field of intelligent transportation and vehicle technologies. Participants are invited to present and discuss recent developments and challenges in autonomous vehicles systems. This workshop focuses on innovative applications, tools and frameworks in technology areas related to autonomous and connected vehicles in the context of smart cities and other relevant application domains. Papers describing original novel work and advanced prototypes, systems and tools are encouraged.
