Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The Automotive Mobility, Management and Automation (AMMA 2025) Congress, hosted by the Technical University of Cluj-Napoca, Romania, on 23–25 October 2025, offers an opportunity to present recent technical and/or scientific developments.
This Special Issue aims to compile recent research and technological advancements in the fields of automotive mobility, intelligent management, and automation systems. With the rapid evolution of connected, autonomous, and electric vehicles, the automotive industry is undergoing a transformative shift. This Special Issue therefore welcomes original contributions that address innovative technologies, cutting-edge methodologies, and practical applications that are shaping the future of mobility. The scope of this Special Issue include, but is not limited to, advancements in autonomous driving, vehicle-to-everything (V2X) communication, electric and hydrogen-powered vehicles, intelligent transportation systems, sustainable mobility solutions, and the integration of AI and machine learning in vehicle systems.
The Special Issue also explores challenges related to the assurance of ensuring safety, reliability, and regulatory compliance in the deployment of these technologies. While it features selected contributions from the AMMA 2025 International Congress, we welcome submissions from all researchers and practitioners who are pushing the boundaries of automotive innovation. This platform aims to foster knowledge exchange and collaboration among academics, industry experts, and policymakers, contributing to the global transition towards smarter, greener, and safer mobility solutions.
We encourage scholars from diverse disciplines to share their insights and shape the future of the automotive industry. In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.
