Special Session #4: V2X Technologies and Smart Road Infrastructures for C-ITS Services

Co-Organizers: Monica Nicoli, Politecnico di Milano, Italy
Co-Organizers: Mattia Brambilla, Politecnico di Milano, Italy
Co-Organizers: Sandra Roger, Universitat de València, Spain
Co-Organizers: Thomas Zemen, AIT Austrian Institute of Technology GmbH, Austria

 

Call for Papers

This special session aims to integrate research in communication and transportation fields. The main focus is on the use of V2X communication technologies to provide enhanced C-ITS services to road users (e.g., vehicles and pedestrians). Topics of interest include research on V2X technologies, protocols and standards, as well as their use in design, develop and validate innovative services targeting to improve safety in mobility.

Researchers are encouraged to submit works on theoretical/simulation studies as well as demonstration of implemented use cases, especially related to validation activities on connected sensors at road infrastructure or distributed across vehicles.
