The SAE International Journal of Connected and Automated Vehicles furthers state-of-the-art engineering research by publishing peer-reviewed scientific articles that showcase strong theoretical and empirical contributions and findings to the body of engineering knowledge surrounding various facets of the lifecycle treatment of connected and automated vehicles with an emphasis on the system perspective.

Part 1 of this special issue highlights several projects that either develop simulation tools or devise applications that make use of them. Many new tools and frameworks are being developed for research, commercial, and open-source communities. The articles selected in both Part 1 and Part 2 of this special issue will expose the reader to several proposed frameworks that address the ultimate problem with different, yet innovative, approaches.
