Welcome to the April 2026 issue of VTS Mobile World – your IEEE Vehicular Technology Society newsletter.
This edition highlights two upcoming events hosted by the Society and the Miami Section Joint Chapter, respectively, plus enlightening articles contributed by experts, gathered from the Connected and Autonomous Vehicles, Transportation Systems, and Mobile Radio columns in the December 2025 edition of the IEEE Vehicular Technology Magazine. It also includes recently published papers from the IEEE Transactions on Vehicular Technology and the IEEE Open Journal of Vehicular Technology, providing valuable insights.
And finally, we’d like to congratulate the IEEE VTS Higher National Engineering School of Tunis Student Branch Chapter for their successful bid in securing an IEEE TryEngineering grant to fund their VT TOTS proposal; check out the article for a description of the program.
As always, I am always available to hear your feedback; just send me a note at [email protected].
