The automotive sector is rapidly evolving with the integration of advanced optical measurement technologies, which are essential for improving vehicle intelligence, safety, and user experience.

Optical measurement techniques play a fundamental role in enabling precise and reliable detection, monitoring, and interaction systems across different automotive applications, such as autonomous driving, driver monitoring and green mobility.

Scientific contributions regarding the innovative design of optical sensors and instruments for automotive, the characterization and validation of such systems, communication, safety and the proposal of algorithms for the acquired data analysis are welcome.

Topics of interest for this Special Session include, but are not limited to:

• LiDAR and 3D Imaging for Automotive Applications.
• Sensors Fusion for driver assistance systems including Infrastructure-Connected and Vehicle-Mounted Sensors.
• Optical Sensing for Electric and Hybrid Vehicles.
• Optical Metrology for Manufacturing and Quality Control.
• Safety aspect of optical sensors for autonomous driving.
• Standardization and Regulatory Challenges for Optical Sensors in Automotive.
• Test equipment development.

Davide Cassanelli (Graduate Student Member, IEEE) received the M.S. degree (cum laude) in electronic engineering from the University of Modena and Reggio Emilia, Modena, Italy, in 2019 and the PhD degree in "Automotive for an intelligent mobility" from the University of Bologna, Bologna, Italy, in 2023.
He works as a Research Fellow with the University of Modena and Reggio Emilia. His research interests include optoelectronic instrumentation and measuring systems, with a special focus on biomedical and automotive applications.
