Abstract

Vehicular sensor networks (VSN) provide a new paradigm for transportation technology and demonstrate massive potential to improve the transportation environment due to the unlimited power supply of the vehicles and resulting minimum energy constraints. This special issue is focused on the recent developments within the vehicular networks and vehicular sensor networks domain. The papers included in this Special Issue (SI) provide useful insights to the implementation, modelling, and integration of novel technologies, including blockchain, named data networking, and 5G, to name a few, within vehicular networks and VSN.

Keywords: blockchain within VANET and VSN; cyber security; emerging IoT applications in VANET and VSN; multimedia and cellular communication; privacy and trust; security; vehicular ad-hoc networks (VANET); vehicular sensor networks (VSN).
