Foreword: This book contains the proceedings of the 9th International Conference on Vehicle Technology and Intelligent Transport Systems (VEHITS 2023) which was sponsored by the Institute for Systems and Technologies of Information, Control and Communication (INSTICC) and held in cooperation with Connected Vehicle Trade Association and Portuguese Electric Vehicle Association. This year VEHITS was held in Prague, Czech Republic as a hybrid event, from 26 to 28 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 2023 received 60 paper submissions, from 23 countries, of which 18% 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 2023 topic areas. The high quality of VEHITS 2023 was also underlined by keynote lectures from internationally renowned experts, namely Karl Henrik Johansson (KTH Royal Institute of Technology, Sweden), Rudy R. Negenborn (Delft University of Technology, Netherlands) and Christoph Stiller (Karlsruhe Institute of Technology, Germany). The best academic 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 2023. 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, making it possible for VEHITS 2023 authors to present their work and share ideas with colleagues, both onsite and online. We hope that all colleagues who attended the conference and/or read its proceedings, find this conference fruitful and inspiring. We are happy to support to the continued development of the 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/.
