Today,
intelligent transportation systems (ITS) have emerged to enhance the
efficiency of existing transportation schemes by providing greater services
and efficiencies while enhancing safety and security in the mobility of
people and merchandise. One of the evolving research topics in ITS is Internet of
Vehicles (IoV) which
aims to form a large network of vehicles and other wireless elements and
infrastructures.
Autonomous vehicles are also an important aspect of ITS providing real-time
sensing and detection of safety threats, optimizing route/task planning,
power consumption, coordination and collaboration with other vehicles while
performing smart self-diagnostics and maintenance under different operating
environment.
A natural
evolution of IoVs is the
Internet of Autonomous Vehicles (IAVs) which extends the operational benefits
of connected vehicles through incorporating intelligent real-time information
processing, adaptation, self-learning and self-healing capabilities. In such
system, Unmanned Areial Vehicles (UAV) autonomous
underwater vehicle (AUV) could support
surveillance and monitoring, search and rescue and anomaly and threat
detection as well as accurate
inspection, characterization tasks that are communicated to people or other
terrestrial devices and robots.
However,
there are several open research issues concerning the effective employment of
multiple connected heterogeneous autonomous vehicles and devices for IoV
applications such as: efficient and smart management of the autonomous
vehicles and devices, reliable and secure communication between heterogeneous
autonomous vehicles and devices and connectivity between autonomous vehicles.
Due to the dynamic nature of the environment, operating conditions and
mission objectives, balancing these issues becomes a challenging task. Hence,
there is a need to develop novel techniques to manage and optimise real-time
operation of these complex communication platforms in the face of dynamic and
uncertain real-world deployment scenarios.
This special session aims at
bringing together scholars from academia and industry to discuss and present
the latest research and findings on all the aspects of IAVs.
Topics of interest include but
are not limited to:
·
Communication Architectures for IAVs
·
Dynamic spectrum management for IAVs
·
Energy harvesting and power management in IAVs
·
Connectivity and coverage
·
Security and privacy
