CALL FOR PAPERS
IEEE Open Journal of Vehicular Technology
Special Issue on Vehicular Digital Twins: Architectures, Communication Protocols, and Applications for Internet of Vehicles Systems

With the convergence of digital modelling, 6G vehicular communication, and AI-driven autonomy, Vehicular Digital Twins (VDTs) are set to redefine how vehicles interact, adapt, and evolve in real-time. This special issue solicits high-quality contributions in systems, protocols, simulations, and real-world deployment of VDTs, with emphasis on vehicular technologies and secure communications.

We invite original contributions on, but not limited to:

  • VDT architecture and multi-layer modelling
  • Communication protocols (5G/6G, C-V2X) for real-time VDTs
  • AI and ML for adaptive twin control
  • Cybersecurity, quantum-safe VDT communication
  • Blockchain and trust management
  • Edge/cloud integration
  • Use cases (e.g., fleet management, predictive maintenance, autonomous driving)
