4th International Symposium on Wireless Vehicular Communications: WIVEC2011
5-6 September 2011, San Francisco, United States

The 4th International Symposium on Wireless Vehicular Communications was held 5-6 September 2011 at the Hilton Union Square, San Francisco, United States, colocated with VTC2011-Fall.

Wireless vehicular communications has been identified as a key technology for increasing road safety and transport efficiency, and providing Internet access on the move to ensure wireless ubiquitous connectivity. The potential of this technology has been acknowledged with the establishment of ambitious research programs worldwide.

The IEEE Vehicular Technology Society (VTS) currently covers through its areas of interest (Mobile Radio, Transportation Systems and Automotive Electronics) all technical aspects needed to make wireless vehicular communications a reality. As a result, the IEEE VTS society has decided to establish a technical symposium on wireless vehicular communications.

The IEEE International Symposium on Wireless Vehicular Communications (WiVeC) covers all vehicular wireless communications aspects of Vehicle-to-Vehicle (V2V), Vehicle-to-Infrastructure (V2I) and Vehicle-to-Person (V2P) communications, including implications on transport efficiency and safety, automotive electronics, liability issues, standardizations efforts and spectrum assignment.

After the successful 2007 (Baltimore), 2008 (Calgary) and 2010 (Taipei) editions, the fourth IEEE WiVeC symposium was co-located with the 74th IEEE Vehicular Technology Conference 2011 Fall conference, and took place at the Hilton Union Square Hotel in San Francisco on the 5th and 6th of September 2011.

All accepted papers were included in the VTC 2011-Fall conference proceedings and published on the IEEE Xplore database.
