Workshop Overview

The 10th workshop on Advances in Autonomous Driving and Vehicular Networks (ADVNets) will be held in conjunction with COMSNETS 2025, highlighting the significance of Intelligent Transportation Systems - an amalgamation of cutting-edge technologies and communication used in traffic control and management systems to improve the sustainability, effectiveness, and safety of vehicular networks. This special workshop in COMSNETS 2025 aims to bring together engineers, researchers, and practitioners from various disciplines to share their experiences on interdisciplinary approaches to solving transportation problems. The workshop invites original papers that make contributions to the sensing, modeling, control, learning, and analysis in the field of connected and autonomous vehicles.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

Infrastructure, Connectivity, and Communications for CAVs
- Connected and Autonomous vehicles (CAVs) - service design, management, and control
- Vehicle to everything (V3X) and Cellular V2X (C-V2X) Communications
- Efficient Over-the-air (OTA) updates
- Vehicular network communications (5G, 6G, etc.)
- Networked land/aerial vehicular systems
- Integration of infrastructure and intelligent vehicles
- Eco-driving and energy-efficient vehicles
- Battery management systems and state-of-the-charge (SoC) estimation
Vehicle Automation, Control, Testing and Validation
- Automated driving systems (ADS)
- Vehicle control and motion planning
- End to End Autonomous Driving
- Automated vehicles
- AI/ML for vehicle automation and Control
- Simulation and real-world testing methodologies
