Call for Paper
Main Topics
Future ITS technology which includes vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) and vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I) communication will be operated for safety-related applications or non-safety multimedia content providing applications. In recent years, key players, such as automobile companies and government agencies, are heavily investing on various advanced researches. These research efforts primarily focus on the ITS system scenarios and standardization of telematics. Until very recently, not only systematic testing and standardized certification procedures, but also the baseband transceiver structure has rarely been investigated. Meanwhile, considering the environment protection issue, the issue called “Green ITS” is also be included in this conference. By using energy efficiency modulation techniques or other low power transceiver design to prolong the pedestrians’ hand-held equipment battery life or saving road side units (RSUs) power consumption.

The general purpose of this conference (ITST-2012) is to increase and boost knowledge concerning networking aspects of transceiver design for ITS. The workshop will initiate and support discussions in area leading to innovative algorithms, techniques, protocols models and tools that will facilitate research and development of real intra- and inter-vehicle communications systems.
Journal Publication Channel Some papers will be nominated by the International Advisory Board for the “Best Paper Award.” To enhance the scientific quality of this event, the conference Organizing Committee has entered into an agreement with the Editor-in-Chief (Dr. Alan Stevens) and the publishing office of IET Intelligent Transport Systems (IET ITS), which is an SCI-E (ISI) and EI indexed peer-reviewed journal. See: http://www.ietdl.org/IP-ITS. Shortly after the close of ITST-2012, authors of papers that are considered suitable for expansion and consideration for a Conference Special Issue will receive a formal invitation to submit an updated and enhanced paper. Papers will go through the journal’s standard peer-review process and, if accepted for publication, will be indexed in the citations databases. This Special Issue will appear as a (hardcopy) publication in June 2014 with accepted papers available on-line in March 2014. |
