| Message from the EiC |
Welcome to the June 2020 issue of VTS Mobile World – your IEEE Vehicular Technology Society newsletter. I hope you are doing well and keeping safe.
In this issue, Society President Abbas Jamalipour gives a summary of best service to our members and the wider community in all circumstances. In addition, there is a message from Vice President—Land Transportation Gary Touryan.
We also feature a new video on “Electrified Vehicle Technologies, A Road Path Towards Zero Emissions” available at the VTS Resource Center.
Also included are recently published papers from the IEEE Open Journal of Vehicular Technology, a report from the VTS Chicago Chapter, and an update about the VTS Standards Committee.
As always, I am available to hear your feedback; just send me a note at Richard.Yu@ieee.org. Read More... |
