Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The smooth operation of the transport sector is inseparable from advances in vehicle design. This is achieved by enhancing the dynamics and performance of vehicles, as well as presenting technical solutions that improve road safety. Moreover, it is important to analyze the movement of vehicles, traffic flow and road accident data during certain driving conditions to enhance the effective operation of transport. Active, passive and integral vehicle safety is constantly being improved, and various measures that ensure road safety are being developed; however, this research remains relevant, as appoximately 1.19 million people die on roads every year. Therefore, this Special Issue welcomes the submission of articles that address the development and evaluation of recent technological solutions, their application and their modelling in relation to vehicle dynamics, road safety and accident analysis.
This Special Issue will focus on recent advances in the field, particularly those related to vehicle dynamics and safety, road safety, accident analysis, simulation and reconstruction. The scope of this Special Issue includes, but is not limited to, the following topics:
- vehicle dynamics and their operational characteristics;
- road safety: technologies, simulations and applications;
- road accidents analysis, modelling and reconstruction;
- active, passive and integral vehicle safety;
- traffic flow planning and optimization;
- technical solutions for traffic organisation and problems of their application;
- road user behaviour and the influence of human factors on road safety;
- the transportation of dangerous goods;
- connected and autonomous vehicles;
- alternative solutions in road safety research.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Applied Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2400 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
