Call for Papers
The rapid evolution of the smart world has placed Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) at the forefront of urban innovation. However, as logistics operations and transportation networks become increasingly connected and autonomous in order to achieve sustainability objectives, they also become more vulnerable to cyber threats. This special session aims to explore the critical intersection between security services, including robust authentication, data integrity, and privacy-preserving protocols, and the optimization of sustainable logistics operations.
Resilient Vehicle-to-Everything communications are required to secure global supply chains, autonomous fleets, and last-mile delivery systems from malicious interventions, thereby ensuring a trustworthy smart world. We invite original research contributions focusing on secure architectures for smart fleets, privacy- preserving logistics data management, and the impact of cybersecurity on the operational efficiency of green transportation systems. We aim in this session to bridge the gap between transportation engineering and cybersecurity, fostering a secure and eco-friendly mobility future.
