The 2019 IEEE Vehicular Networking Conference (VNC) seeks to bring together researchers, professionals, and practitioners to present and discuss recent developments and challenges in vehicular networking technologies, and their applications. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

5G technologies for connected vehicles
Innovative vehicular network applications (e.g., those in transportation safety, efficiency, and comfort as well as electrical vehicle and power grid integration) and their communication requirements
Communications and networking for automated and semi-automated vehicles (e.g., collective perception, sensor data sharing, cooperative driving, cooperative maneuvering, cooperative intersections and highways, platooning)
Field measurements and/or real-world deployments of vehicular networks and applications
Impact assessments of vehicular networks on transportation (e.g., safety, efficiency, comfort, environmental sustainability)
Modeling, design, as well as theoretical and empirical analysis of vehicular networks and applications
Hardware and software platforms for the simulation, emulation, prototyping, measurement, and/or real-world deployment of vehicular networks and applications
Emerging V2X communication and networking technologies such as cellular V2X (C-V2X), dynamic spectrum sharing, mmWave, massive MIMO, beamforming, and vehicular visible light communications (VLC)
In-vehicle communication and networking systems (e.g., TSN, FlexRay, TT-CAN, and mmWave)
Vehicular networking architectures and system design
Novel physical layer communication technologies for vehicular networks
Radio propagation aspects of vehicular networks (e.g., channel measurements, propagation models, antenna design)
Vehicular MAC and link layer protocols (e.g., those for URLLC)
Vehicular network layer protocols (e.g., real-time information dissemination)
Transport control and middleware for vehicular network systems (e.g., congestion control, real-time messaging)
Heterogeneous vehicular networking (e.g., multi-radio, multi-channel, multi-application, multi-technology)
Network and QoS management for vehicular networks
Security, privacy, liability, and dependability of vehicular networks
Communications related to electric and hybrid vehicles
Integration of V2C with on-board systems and networks
Edge computing for vehicular applications
Vehicular networks and IoT integration
