The dependency on vehicles is increasing tremendously due to its excellent transport capacity, fast, efficient, flexible, pleasant journey, minimal physical effort, and substantial economic impact. As a result, the demand for smart and intelligent feature enhancement is growing and becoming a prime concern for maximum productivity based on the current perspective. In this case, the Internet of Everything (IoE) is an emerging concept that can play an essential role in the automotive industry by integrating the stakeholders, process, data, and things via networked connections. But the unavailability of intelligent features leads to negligence about proper maintenance of vehicle vulnerable parts, reckless driving and severe accident, lack of instructive driving, and improper decision, which incurred extra expenses for maintenance besides hindering national economic growth.
It is therefore a challenge to choose the best methodologies for a central VHMS exploiting IoE-driven Multi-Layer Heterogeneous Networks (HetNet) and AI techniques to oversee individual vehicle health conditions, notify the respective owner driver real-timely and store the information for further necessary action. Another challenge is to find methodologies for VHMS, IoE-driven Multi-tire HetNet, with a secure and trustworthy data collection and analytics system. The aim of this Special Issue is to show recent and novel applications of VHMS in the field of automotive sector. This special issue aims to share and exchange innovative theories, practices, and approaches in Vehicular technologies and communications to unveil the challenging issues associated in deploying the VHMS applications. It may motivate the researcher to develop a central intelligent and secure vehicular condition diagnostic system to move this sector towards Industry 4.0.
