Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The rapid evolution of vehicle electrification and intelligent control systems is reshaping the future of transportation. This Special Issue aims to present cutting-edge research and emerging trends in electric powertrains, energy management strategies, and AI-driven control mechanisms that enhance vehicle performance, efficiency, and safety. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, battery technologies, charging infrastructure, hybrid energy systems, autonomous vehicle control, advanced driver assistance systems, and the integration of artificial intelligence in vehicular decision-making processes.
We invite researchers, industry professionals, and practitioners to contribute their latest findings and insights to this Special Issue. By fostering interdisciplinary collaboration, we seek to address challenges and opportunities in the transition toward smarter, more sustainable, and highly automated transportation systems.
We are delighted to invite you to contribute to our Special Issue, Advancements and Future Trends in Vehicle Electrification and Intelligent Control Systems. As the automotive industry continues to embrace electrification and intelligent control, this Special Issue will serve as a platform to showcase pioneering research and technological breakthroughs. Your contributions—whether theoretical advancements, experimental studies, or real-world applications—will help shape the future of mobility.
We look forward to receiving your valuable submissions and sharing innovative ideas with the global research community.
