SPECIAL SESSIONS
Papers may be submitted either as regular papers or as special session papers. The special sessions are the following:
GNSS Railway
Session conveners: Juliette Marais, IFSTTAR (FR), Omar Garcia Crespillo, DLR (DE), Cosimo Stallo, Radiolabs (IT)
Railways already relies on satellite-based localization systems but mostly for non-safety related applications. However, driven by economic reasons, the use of these systems for more stringent services and, in particular, in signaling system is seriously investigated today and tested all around the world.
The developments have made huge progress in the past years: from global demonstration of concept to the development of elements of the systems (hybrid localization units, integrity monitoring schemes, augmentation systems…). A number of technical solutions have been developed and demonstrated. Some real advances are noticed, in particular, in the ERTMS framework, considering the use of GNSS-based virtual balises. But GNSS is also investigated for other services such as train integrity.
The session will present the latest results and projects dealing with the introduction of GNSS in the railways. Papers are expected to focus on technical issues for performance enhancement as well as safety demonstrations, experimental results of GNSS reception characterization or operational system demonstration.
New challenges in wireless communications for Railways
Session conveners: M. Berbineau, IFSTTAR (FR), Ke Guan, BJTU (CN), José Soler, DTU (DK), Thomas Kürner, TUB (DE)
To increase quality, reliability, safety and security of railway systems while increasing accessibility and productivity, we observe ever increasing fluxes of information between various stakeholders, central databases and field devices widely distributed along infrastructures and inside trains. This trend is accentuated by the development of automation and driverless systems and autonomous trains. Robustness, reliability, high data rate, spectral efficiency, optimization of radio resource usages, low latency and low energy consumption are of significant interest for railway applications. Evaluating the performance and new challenges of wireless communication systems requires radio channel models for numerous propagation environments and in very different frequencies (from 1 GHz to mmW for example). Furthermore, dedicated antennas need to be developed with adequate performance and placement. Innovative solutions at network level are also needed (heterogeneous handover, new architecture, scheduling aspects, etc.) and incorporation of new paradigms such as SDN or NFV, may impact current service offer and enable new ones. Safety and security are also strong requirements for wireless communications for railways including cybersecurity.
The session will present the latest results and projects addressing these challenges.
Maritime communications
Session conveners: Michele Fiorini, EIT (IT)
The purpose of the special session is to facilitate interactions between university researchers, students, start-ups, NGOs, SMEs, industries and administrations dealing within the maritime domain. The topics relevant to the session spans from systems (CSS, EZZ protection, AIS, satellite surveillance, e-NAV etc..) to services (SAR, VTS, VDES, Single Window -Port Management-, anti-piracy, etc..) and all combinations. Innovative concepts and practical applications are particularly welcome.
Reliability of vehicular communications
Session conveners: Jacek Rak, Gdansk University of Technology (PL)
The purpose of this special session is to enable discussions among researchers from academia and industry on reliability of vehicular communications, which still remains an extraordinary challenge especially under unfavourable conditions. Special focus of the session is put on the issue of delivery of data to intended receivers in accordance to requirements of applications.
Submission Guidelines
Authors are invited to submit regular papers, describing original, previously unpublished research results, not currently under review by another conference or journal. The submission is done using the Easy Chair system.
Regular papers should not exceed 7 pages formatted according to the IEEE two-column conference template. All submitted papers will be reviewed. Based on the scientific merit and novelty, the accepted papers may be selected for oral presentation during conference sessions or for presentations at a poster session. All accepted and presented papers will be included in IEEE Xplore and indexed by EI.
Student paper contest
There will be a student paper contest. At the time of submission, students must be registered at an academic program and must be the author or co-author of the work with a substantial contribution to it. To be eligible for the contest, the student must present the paper.
There will be a best paper award and a best student paper award.
Important dates
Regular and special session paper submission
Paper submission (extended): 1 June 2018
