cities transportation through which smart, reliable, safe, and efficient
integrated transportation solutions are provided. Intelligent systems
management integrated with today’s advanced vehicular and wireless network
technologies, such as autonomous and connected vehicles, will play a crucial
role in improving the quality and delivery performance of diversified vehicular
services. Many unprecedented challenges arise from the emerging autonomous and
connected vehicle technologies. These include configuring vehicular cloud
services to user requirements, vehicle security issues related to connectivity,
big data analytics for intelligent transportation, and user’s trust in such
technology as one of the issues facing implementation and deployment of an
autonomous vehicle. There is also a need for customized computation and
communication technology for the integrated solutions of autonomous vehicles
and smart city sub-systems. The aim of the Fourth International Workshop on
Intelligent Transportation and Autonomous Vehicles Technologies is to bring
together engineers, researchers, and practitioners interested in the advances
and applications in the field of intelligent transportation and autonomous
vehicle technologies. Participants are invited to present and discuss recent
developments and challenges in autonomous vehicle systems. <i>This version
of this workshop focuses on innovative applications, tools and frameworks in
technology areas related to the intelligent management of driving and in
dynamic networks</i>. Papers describing original novel work and advanced
