Recently, the vehicular network and communication systems have represented an area of importance research topic in the increasingly connected and mobile globe. Effective vehicular connectivity techniques can significantly enhance efficiency of travel, reduce traffic accidents and improve safety, lessen the impact of congestion, and provide a more comfortable experience for everyone. Today, the research of intelligent vehicular network and networking systems is gaining attention around the world. In particular, radio spectrum has been allocated in North America, Europe, and Japan for the dedicated short range communications (DSRC) to facilitate intelligent transportation. The United States Department of Transportation has been taking steps to enable vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) communication technology in 2017 for light vehicles to avoid vehicle crashes. In the same time, 3GPP finalized cellular V2X (C-V2X) communication standards in 2017, whereas V2X stands for vehicle-to-everything communication. V2X communications and its solutions enable the exchange of information between vehicles and between vehicle network infrastructures. The goal of V2X is to improve road safety, increase the efficient flow of traffic, reduce environmental impacts and provide additional communications, traveler information services. However, because vehicular networking has different characteristics from other conventional wireless network-

ing problems, numerous research challenges need to be addressed in order for vehicle and vehicle-infrastructure communications to be widely deployed. Vehicular networking and its applications also demand stringent communications performance requirements that are not seen in conventional wireless networks. This special issue, entitled “Intelligent Vehicular Network and Applications”, comprising of seven papers is focused on the state-of-the-art in the emerging vehicular network technologies and applications for V2X, including vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I), vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V), vehicle-to-network (V2N), and vehicle-to-pedestrian (V2P). In addition, the architectures, algorithms and protocols for data dissemination, processing, and aggregation in vehicular networks are also in the topics of interest. Papers were selected on the basis of fundamental ideas and application concepts. The papers selected in this special issue are organized as follows: This special issue starts with the
