The rapid adoption of the Internet of Things has transformed the way we interact with our environment, ushering in an era of unprecedented connectivity and data sharing. One of the most dynamic and influential manifestations of this technological revolution is the Internet of Vehicular Things, a paradigm that connects the digital and physical worlds through the integration of intelligent vehicles, smart infrastructure, and advanced communication networks. In this fast-evolving landscape, computational intelligence emerges as the linchpin that enables IoVT to realize its full potential. This book addresses the fascinating intersection of vehicle technology and computational intelligence. It explores the transformative power of algorithms, machine learning, artificial intelligence, and data analytics shaping the future of transportation. As vehicles become smarter, safer, and more efficient, the opportunities for innovation and optimization are limitless. The IoVT ecosystem encompasses a wide range of applications, from autonomous vehicles and traffic management systems to driver assistance technologies and predictive maintenance. By harnessing the collective intelligence of vehicles and infrastructures, IoVT promises to revolutionize not only our daily commute, but the broader transportation landscape, paving the way for sustainable, efficient, and safe mobility solutions. This book is a comprehensive guide for researchers, engineers, practitioners, and policymakers looking to navigate the complex terrain of IoVT using computational intelligence. It provides a multidisciplinary perspective and draws on recent advances in computer science, data science, electrical engineering, and transportation science to facilitate a deep understanding of the key concepts, challenges, and opportunities associated with IoVT and computational intelligence.
