Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We live in a time of breakthrough transformation in the construction of vehicles in terms of their energy sources and intensive development of means to increase the vehicle's safety. Despite significant progress in the construction of new cars and in security engineering, the improvement of road safety is still unsatisfactory. The number of accidents and their victims, as well as related economic and social costs (and other aspects of sustainable road transport), remain unsatisfactory. In this context, research related to improving vehicle construction (and their dynamic properties) and security engineering of traffic is extremely important. These factors are critical to problems related to the safety of the cars and traffic, including interaction in the vehicle-human-environment. Despite many publications in the world literature dealing with these problems, we see a strong need to exchange knowledge and experience as part of a thematically integrated set of articles.
We invite scientists, specialists, and industry representatives to publish their achievements on various topics related to the issues covered in the title of this special issue. The main topic is general automotive engineering including vehicle construction, innovative vehicle structures, active and passive safety systems, vehicle (and its teams) testing and security engineering of traffic. An important aspect for these threads should be vehicle dynamics including stability, safety and handling in various traffic conditions. We also expect articles that will be related to the problems of analysis and reconstruction of road accidents, road safety, ecological issues and energy consumption of modern car design solutions, the operation of classic, hybrid, and electric vehicles (including diagnostics), the role and behavior of drivers (including the elderly and people with disabilities), vehicle autonomy, vehicle communication systems (including VTx), road infrastructure and traffic control.

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.
