Nets4Trains 2011 - Nets4Cars track on Communication technologies for vehicles in the Railway Transportation (Nets4Trains)

Nets4Trains: Nets4Cars 2011 will also host a track on Communication technologies for vehicles in the Railway Transportation (Nets4Trains). The aspiration of the 1st International Workshop on Communication Technologies for Vehicles in the Railway Transportation (Nets4Trains 2011) is to provide an international forum on the latest technologies and research challenges associated with the design and implementation of railway intra- and inter-vehicle communications (physical layer, protocols and standards), mobility and traffic models (models, methodologies, and techniques), testing, and applications.

Authors are invited to submit papers presenting new research results related to the theory or practice of intelligent railway transportation systems and railway vehicular ad hoc networks in the framework of the following main topics:

train-to-train communications
train-to-vehicle communications
train-to-infrastructure communications
intra-train communications
train-to-Internet communications and multimedia applications
train localisation using communication technology
mobility and traffic models
information collection and dissemination
analytical and simulation techniques
experimental systems and field operational testing
protocol performance enhancements
safety and non-safety related applications
traveller information services
multi-modal transport
