Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In an era defined by environmental consciousness and technological innovation, vehicle electrification is rapidly transforming the transportation landscape. This Special Issue explores the rapidly evolving world of electric vehicle (EV) communication, focusing on how software-defined networking (SDN) is changing the way EVs interact with each other, the infrastructure, and the broader ecosystem. It investigates the fundamental role of SDN in shaping electric vehicle communication infrastructure and analyzes how it improves data exchange, connectivity, and energy management, ultimately leading to safer, smarter, and more sustainable mobility solutions.
This Special Issue features contributions from leading researchers, industry experts, and practitioners at the forefront of the fields of electric vehicles and software-defined networking. By gathering cutting-edge technologies, models, inventions, and applications, and technological advancements, this Special Issue will highlight the path toward a sustainable and interconnected future of mobility. It aims to cover a wide range of topics, including, but not limited to, the following:
- Interconnected smart charging;
- Enhancing vehicle-to-everything (V2X) communication;
- Software-defined networking for V2X;
- Fog and edge computing applied to V2X;
- Blockchain applications for V2X;
- Federated learning;
- Security and privacy challenges;
- Green communication for EV charging;
- Scalability and future prospects.
