Communication Technologies for Vehicles

This book constitutes the joint refereed proceedings of the 5th International Workshop on Communication Technologies for Vehicles/Trains, Nets4Cars 2013 and Nets4Trains 2013, held in Vilnius, Lithuania, in May 2013. The 12 full papers of the road track and 5 full papers of the rail track presented together with 3 invited talks were carefully reviewed and selected from 24 submissions. They address topics such as intra-vehicle, inter-vehicle and vehicle to infrastructure communications (protocols and standards), mobility and traffic models (models, methodologies, and techniques), testing, and applications.

Fast-track conference proceedings State-of-the-art research Up-to-date results
