Aims & Scope

IEEE Vehicular Technology Magazine publishes peer-reviewed articles covering advances in areas of interest to the IEEE Vehicular Technology Society: The theoretical, experimental, application and operational aspects of electrical and electronic engineering relevant to motor vehicles and associated land transportation infrastructure: (a) Mobile radio shall include technologies appropriate to terrestrial mobile vehicular services. (b) Motor vehicles shall include the components, systems and auxiliary functions. (c) Land transportation shall include the components and systems used in both automated and non-automated facets of ground transport technology, especially as they relate to vehicular systems. The magazine focuses on intra-vehicular components, systems and applications. It includes tutorials, surveys, coverage of emerging technology in the aforementioned fields, and serves as a means for the IEEE VTS governing body to communicate with its membership.
