The author discusses the status of "Transactions on Vehicular Technology (TVT)" and the changes to better serve the community. He states that the journal will publish nine issues in 2009 to accommodate the consistently increasing number of paper submissions and to reduce publication backlog. He adds that the journal publishes special sections that focus on the areas of vehicular electronics and intelligent transportation systems.

The article offers information for authors or contributors to the journal "IEEE Transactions on Vehicular Technology" including the requirements for articles to be published, quality of photographs and electronic publishing.

The author reports that the "IEEE Transactions on Vehicular Technology" (TVT) journal has reached a new level in several performance measures in year 2011. The author acknowledges the authors and reviewers, as well as readers for their contributions. Information is presented on the number of paper submissions received by the journal during the year. The journal was also able to publish surveys and tutorials on topics of a general interest to its readership.

This article focuses on the future objectives of the Journal "IEEE Transactions on Vehicular Technology," as a result of succession of a new editor. To maintain and further the leading role of the journal in publishing state of the art research results in three main areas of interest--mobile communication, transportation systems and vehicular electronics, will be core focus. Further 3 initial objectives are set--to streamline the paper-submission and review process, to increase the reference value of the journal, and to promote research in the three main areas of interest for the vehicle technologists society.

This article introduces the readers of the Journal "IEEE Tansactions on Vehicular Technology," to its new Editor-in-Chief Tan F. Wang. Wang had been serving as associate Editor for past several years. It further informs about the technological progress, the journal had made. For past 3 years, it's peer review process has migrated from a paper-based system to a web-based system and as a result, reviews are conducted by a diverse group of international experts. It also thanks all those who are involved with the publishing process of the journals.

The large-scale collection of individuals’ mobility data poses serious privacy concerns. Instead of perturbing data by adding noise to the raw location data to preserve privacy of individuals, we propose an approach that achieves privacy-preservation at the statistics level of aggregating mobility datasets with the probabilistic data structure Count-Min Sketch (CMS) , which has been widely used to provide efficient statistic functions with a tunable error bound. We use CMS to estimate the population density distributions in the mobility datasets, where the error bound determines utility guarantees. We develop P4Mobi, a novel Probabilistic Privacy-Preserving Publishing framework for Mobility datasets that protects individuals’ privacy while complying to a specific utility requirement. We empirically validate the performance of P4Mobi in terms of utility and privacy-preservation by demonstrating its resilience against a recently proposed reconstruction attack model using two real-world datasets. We compare P4Mobi to two state-of-the-art methods and show that with the same level of privacy achieved against our attack model, P4Mobi significantly improves the utility of the published mobility datasets by up to $20\%$. We also provide a theoretical estimate of the utility achieved by P4Mobi. We found a very consistent match between the estimated and empirical utility of P4Mobi as evaluated on two datasets.
