Special Issue “Applications of Artificial Intelligence for Connected & Automated Vehicle”

SI Web Pagehttps://www.mdpi.com/si/35928

Deadline: June 1, 2020

 

Applied Sciences journal (Appl. Sci. – ISSN 2076-3417 – IF 2.217) is currently running a special issue titled "Artificial Intelligence for Connected and Automated Vehicles".

 

Special Issue Information

 

Dear Colleagues,
Connected and automated vehicles (CAVs) will provide greater transport convenience and interconnectivity, increase mobility options for young and elderly people, and reduce traffic accidents, congestion and emissions by exploiting Artificial Intelligence and communication technologies. At the same time, major barriers towards the public deployment of CAVs and the realization of smart cities exist, including the safety evaluation and validation of Artificial Intelligence-based vehicle functions. This Special Issue aims to bring together recent advances in methods and tools in the areas of deep learning, knowledge discovery and forecasting, as well as testing and validation, to make connected and automated vehicles efficient and safe. Particularly, we invite contributions that identify and provide insight into the limitations of Artificial Intelligence-based functions for connected and automated vehicles and/or advance the state of the art by breaking existing limitations.

 

Manuscript Submission Information

 

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All papers will be peer-reviewed.
