Foreword: This book contains the proceedings of the 8th International Conference on Vehicle Technology and Intelligent Transport Systems (VEHITS 2022) which was sponsored by the Institute for Systems and Technologies of Information, Control and Communication (INSTICC) and held in cooperation with Portuguese Electric Vehicle Association. This year VEHITS was held as a web-based event, due to the Covid-19 pandemic, from 27 to 29 April. VEHITS focuses on innovative applications, tools and platforms in all technology areas such as signal processing, wireless communications, informatics and electronics, related to different kinds of vehicles, including cars, off-road vehicles, trains, ships, underwater vehicles, or flying machines, as well as the intelligent transportation systems that connect and manage a large number of vehicles, not only in the context of smart cities, but in many other application domains. This conference brought together researchers and practitioners interested in the advances and applications in the field of vehicle technology and intelligent transport systems. There were five topic areas, covering various aspects being Connected Vehicles, Data Analytics, Intelligent Transport Systems and Infrastructure, Intelligent Vehicle Technologies, and Smart Mobility and Sustainable Transport Services. We believe that the diversity and scope of the contributions in these proceedings reflect the richness of the technical problems in each field and clearly demonstrate how new and innovative solutions are being developed to solve them. VEHITS 2022 received 64 paper submissions, from 26 countries, of which 23% were accepted as full papers. The high quality of the submitted papers made the selection during the review process difficult. To evaluate each submission, a double-blind paper review was performed by the Program Committee, whose members are highly qualified independent researchers in the VEHITS 2022 topic areas. The high quality of VEHITS 2022 was also underlined by keynote lectures from internationally renowned experts, namely Luis M. Bergasa (University of Alcalá, Spain), Henk Nijmeijer (Eindhoven University of Technology, Netherlands) Jonas Sjoberg (Chalmers University of Technology, Sweden), and Alexey Vinel (University of Passau, Germany). The best academic and industrial contributions to the conference and the best student submissions were distinguished with awards based on the combined evaluation of the paper, as assessed by the Program Committee, and the quality of the presentation, as evaluated by session chairs at the conference. Building an interesting and successful program for the conference required the dedicated work of many people. First and foremost, we would like to express our thanks to all authors who submitted papers to VEHITS 2022. We would also like to express our gratitude to all members of the Program Committee and auxiliary reviewers, who helped us with their expertise and valuable time. Furthermore, we thank the invited speakers for their invaluable contribution and for taking the time to synthesize and prepare their talks. Finally, we gratefully acknowledge the professional support of the INSTICC team for all organizational processes, especially given the need to implement online streaming, forum management, direct messaging facilitation, and other web-based activities to allow VEHITS 2022 authors to present their work and share ideas with colleagues despite the logistic difficulties caused by the current pandemic situation. We hope that all colleagues who attended the conference and/or read its proceedings, find this conference fruitful and inspiring. We look forward to the continued development of vehicle technology and intelligent transport systems community, and look forward to having additional research results presented at the next edition of VEHITS, details of which are available at https://vehits.scitevents.org/.
