Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
As we delve deeper into the 21st century, we stand on the brink of a transportation revolution. The emerging trends of sustainability and electrification are coming to challenge traditional vehicle paradigms, prompting an evolution towards increasingly smart and energy-efficient solutions. Electronic systems in vehicles (ESVs) are at the heart of this transformation. These ESVs, encompassing control systems, sensing, communications, and advanced motor technology, play pivotal roles in enhancing the performance, safety, and overall user experience of modern transportation.
This Special Issue of Electronics, entitled "Electronic Systems in Vehicles", aims to highlight recent innovations and research developments in the realm of electronic and control systems used in electric vehicles (EVs). Our focus extends from the core of motor control strategies and power electronics to the broader perspective of integrated vehicle control systems. This objective aligns perfectly with the journal's scope of promoting ground-breaking technologies in vehicular systems.
In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome. Research areas may include (but are not limited to) the following topics:
- Motor design for EV applications;
- Sensor technology used in electric motors for EV applications;
- Advanced motor control techniques for improving EV performance;
- Electronic converters used in electric vehicles;
- Integration of motor and power electronics.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.
