Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Integrated solutions are required to address the challenges that the automotive sector is facing concerning implementing partial and full-automated driving, in conjunction with the impellent need for electrification. To this end, vehicle-to-vehicle interaction and new generations of sensors and control strategies, including AI-based algorithms, should be explicitly considered. This Special Issue focuses on emerging technologies and approaches that will support the current trends and prospects in vehicle dynamics. Aspects of interest may include, but are not limited to, the following: novel modeling approaches for vehicular systems and subsystems, with an emphasis on handling and energy-efficiency applications; innovative control/estimation strategies for individual components, vehicles, and fleets; modeling and control of vehicle-to-vehicle interaction, based on future urban and extra-urban mobility scenarios; model-based and model-free path planning, force allocation strategies, and online energy optimization; and the development and integration of novel sensors and devices supporting functionalities of vehicle dynamics.

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.
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.
