The 2024 IEEE Vehicular Networking Conference (VNC) seeks to bring together researchers, professionals, and practitioners to present and discuss recent developments and challenges in vehicular networking, connected & automated driving, and other applications. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

Connectivity

• Radio technologies for vehicular networks (e.g., channel measurements, propagation models, antenna design)
• V2X communication technologies, including DSRC, C-V2X, 5G/6G, and emerging technologies like VLC, mmWave, THz, or massive MIMO, beamforming, and integrated sensing and communication (ISAC) / joint communication and sensing (JCAS)
• Networking, transport and QoS management for vehicular networks
• In-vehicle communication and networking systems

Architecture and System Design

• Heterogeneous vehicular networking (e.g., multi-radio, multi-channel, multi-application, multi-technology, multi-operator) and coexistence of access technologies
• Architectures and system designs for connected automated driving incl. cloud and edge computing and IoT integration
• Security, privacy, liability, and dependability of vehicular networks
• Integration of V2C communications with on-board systems and networks

Tools & Methods

• Platforms for simulation, emulation, prototyping, measurement, field-trials, and real-world deployment of vehicular networks
• Optimization techniques (e.g., linear programming, machine learning) with unique benefits for vehicular applications
• Modeling, design, and analysis of vehicular networks and applications

Applications

• Cooperative perception and cooperative driving
• Innovative vehicular network applications and their communication requirements
• Vulnerable road user protection
• Impact assessments of vehicular networks on transportation (e.g., safety, efficiency, comfort, privacy, and environmental sustainability)

All submitted papers will be peer-reviewed. The Best Paper Award will be selected and handed out by our Best Paper committee. Conference content will be submitted for inclusion into IEEE Xplore as well as other Abstracting and Indexing (A&I) databases.
