| Message from the EiC |
Welcome to the March 2020 issue of VTS Mobile World – your IEEE Vehicular Technology Society newsletter. In this issue, we feature a new video on “Energy Sources and Energy Management for Electric & Hybrid Vehicles” available at the VTS Resource Center.
Also included are recently published papers in the IEEE Open Journal of Vehicular Technology, and regular technical columns on mobile radio, connected vehicles and transportation. In addition, there is a message from the EiC of the IEEE Transactions on Vehicular Technology.
You will also find a call for nominations for IEEE VTS Board of Governors, a call for nominations for VTS Young Professionals Representative, and a call for volunteers to join an IEEE Standards Study Group on Millimeter-Wave Channel Sounders.
As always, I am available to hear your feedback; just send me a note at Richard.Yu@ieee.org. Read More... |
