Emerging Technologies for Connected and Smart Vehicles

[EN] The ten articles in this special section focus on new and emerging technologies for connected and smart vehicles. Due to the rapid growth of connected vehicles, many research constraints need to be addressed, e.g., reliability and latency, practical MAC and routing protocols, performance and adaptability to the changes in the environment (node density and oscillation in network topology), and validation of protocols under the umbrella of coherent assumptions using simulation methodologies. In this Feature Topic, we present 10 papers proposing very interesting solutions and architectures for futuristic and smarter connected vehiclesAhmed, SH.; Ben-Othman, J.; Lloret, J.; Khokhar, A.; Beyah, R.; Sánchez, A.; Guibene, W.
