Description

The IEEE Transactions on Vehicular Technology (TVT) is a scholarly journal dedicated solely to vehicular technology. 

The TVT has been an important venue for both academia and industry to share research results to accelerate R&D activities in vehicular technology. In the first 6 months of 2020, the journal received 707,591 downloads in the IEEE Xplore usage, ranking 7th among 288 IEEE journals. Its impact factor has been increasing steadily since 2004, as shown in the following table:

Year 2010 2011 2012 2013 2014
2-year impact factor 1.490 1.921 2.063 2.642 1.978

Year 2020 2021 2022 2023 2024
2-year impact factor 5.978        

TVT strives to be on the vanguard of vehicular technology research and, as such, encourages submissions focused on emerging and promising fields that will interest its readers. To better serve the community, the journal has been publishing special sections, focusing on vehicular electronics and intelligent transportation systems, and some topics which are of interest to the mobile communications and networking community. 

Publishing Policies

This publication considers original works that enhance the existing body of knowledge. Original review articles and surveys are acceptable, even if new data/concepts are not presented. Results described in the article should not have been submitted or published elsewhere. Expanded versions of conference publications may be submitted. Articles must be intelligible and must be written in standard English.

Peer Review: Peer review is vital to the quality of published research. Each article submitted to IEEE is evaluated by at least two independent reviewers selected by a member of the publication's editorial board. Learn more about the IEEE peer review process.

Publication Fees: This publication is supported by subscriptions and applicable Article Processing Charges (APCs). If you choose to exceed the page limit of 10 complimentary pages, a charge of $220 per page will be applied, and you will receive an invoice before article publication.  Although there is no cost for publishing with IEEE, authors may wish to take advantage of some of our fee-based offerings; visit the IEEE Author Center for more information on available options.

Errors in Published Articles: Authors who have detected an error in their published article should contact the Editor-in-Chief shown above to request the publication of a correction. Note that no change may be made to the original article after it is published in IEEE Xplore. Comment or Letter to the Editor articles which discuss an article in this publication will be considered. The authors of the original article will be given the opportunity to reply to the Comment or Letter to the Editor.
