Abstract

To enable a large-scale and ubiquitous automotive network, traditional vehicles-to-everything (V2X) technology is evolving to the Internet of vehicles(IoV) for increasing demand for emerging advanced vehicular applications such as transportation systems, autonomous vehicles (automatic driving), Intelligent traffic control, and collaborative environmental perception, which require extensive data transmission and information exchange that are beyond the capability of conventional connected vehicles. Due to their flexibility and high maneuverability, Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) can quickly provide wireless connection to ground vehicles in the mobile environment. In the current scenario, the IoV mainly relies on the ground communication network. However, the ground wireless network will have a great limitation when supplying communication services for the areas where ground facilities are lacking or paralyzed. To deal with these issues the space-air-ground integrated vehicle network, constituted of satellites, high-altitude platforms, and low-altitude UAVs has become an effective method to supply services to vehicles in various situations. A UAV-enabled Network provides the facility of low price, strong mobility, and easy deployment. The UAV can quickly form a network with ground vehicles and provide them with reliable data transmission. Fading links are used in the ground network, which leads to poor transmission performance, whereas line-of-sight (LOS)links will be established between UAVs and Vehicles which will bring better transmission performance. Currently an extensive number of possible research, challenges are there in the development of the UAV-enabled internet of vehicles. As a result, the workshop's theme is to invite various national and international academia, research professionals, Industry, and government entities to present their quality research work. IEEE ANTS is an important annual event in India and therefore, it is imperative to organize such value-added session/workshop. The proposed half workshop is focused on the latest development and future scope. The half-day workshop would cover a broad range of possible investigations in the field of UAV Swarm for the Internet of vehicles.

The topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

1. Wireless Technologies for Internet of Vehicles applications

2. UAV-assisted internet of vehicles architecture

3. Internet of Vehicular resource management

4. Smart vehicles and infrastructure

5. Leveraging Edge/Fog computing in IoV

6. Design challenges for protocol development in IoV

7. Security, privacy, and trust in IoV

8. Energy-efficient Road Side Units (RSUs)

9. Cloud-basedVehicular ad-Hoc Network VANETs

10. Demand responsive vehicles

11. UAV swarms for IoV

12. Ad hoc networks of drones

13. UAV-aided WirelessNetworks

14. Communication protocols for swarms of mobile robot

15. Context-awareness and decision-making for UAV systems

16. Path planning, and target tracking in autonomous unmanned vehicle network

17. Energy-efficient unmanned aircraft systems

18. Large-scale simulation methodology and platform for IoV

19. New paradigms for Vehicular communication

20. Low-latency high-reliability communication technologies for IoV

21. Efficient big data analysis for IoV

22. Mobile cloud computing for IoV

23. Experimental systems and field tests of real-world IoV system

24. Cooperative driving, intelligent and autonomous vehicles

25. Machine learning for the internet of vehicles
