Transition to fast publication
Fei–Yue Wang · IEEE Transactions on Intelligent Transportation Systems · 2013
Volume 14, No. 4, 2013, is not only the last issue of the year but also the last issue of the quarterly published IEEE Transactions on Intelligent Transportation Systems (T-ITS). On October 6, 2013, in the Hague, Netherlands, the Board of Governors (BoG) of the IEEE ITS Society (ITSS) approved a plan to expand the T-ITS from four issues to six issues per year in 2014. This is a necessary step to accommodate our fast growth in submissions and significant improvement in the quality of services. Therefore, starting with Volume 15, our T-ITS will enter a new era and be published bimonthly. I also want to take this opportunity to welcome new members of our editorial board: Stan Birchfield, Feng Chu, Maged Dessouky, Elias Kosmatopoulos, James Krogmeier, and Derong Liu. We welcome more qualified volunteers to join our T-ITS as associate editors or reviewers. Finally, I would like to introduce our newly established advisory board, which was proposed to the BoG of the IEEE ITSS last June at the Gold Coast, Australia.
