·   Description/Abstract

In the era of cooperative connected and automated mobility (CCAM) and 5G-V2X (vehicle-to-everything) networks, cooperative automated vehicles (CAVs) are evolving toward a vision where cars or vehicles are becoming more and more automated and wirelessly connected to cooperate for safer and more efficient driving.

Many challenges could impede the deployment of CAVs today. These include deploying 5G-V2X technologies, leveraging data and algorithms for CAVs, cybersecurity threats, trust issues, and other technology needs. Thus, the objective of this Special Issue is to accumulate various innovative strategies that make CAVs and other connected technologies more effective, safe, efficient, and adaptive concerning prevailing task situations and uncertainties.

We invite high-quality submissions that highlight recent breakthroughs in CAVs technologies and applications, including autonomous vehicle engineering, cooperative, connected technologies, etc. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

• CCAM technologies and applications
• Cooperative control systems
• Edge computing in mobility
• Platoons of connected and automated vehicles
• 5G-V2X Networked optimal control
• Cooperative resource allocation and scheduling
