Vehicle and Traffic Safety

Dear Colleagues,

The role of the road transport of people and goods is increasing. Despite significant progress in the development of car design and road safety improvement programs, the number of accidents and their casualties, as well as the related economic and social costs, remains unsatisfactory. In this context, it is extremely important to develop and exchange knowledge on contemporary car safety problems, interactions in the vehicle–human–road system, the development of car construction, and methods of analyzing road accidents. We invite researchers, specialists, and industry representatives to publish their achievements on various topics in the areas of ground vehicle transport and automotive engineering: active and passive vehicle safety, vehicle dynamics and stability, accident analysis and reconstruction, vehicle (and its assemblies) testing; safety of alternative vehicle drives, including electric and hybrid; and the impact on road safety of aspects such as traffic control systems, road infrastructure (including street and road lighting), autonomous and connected vehicles, and human factors.

We are convinced that the collection of high-quality articles on the above-mentioned topics in this Special Issue of the journal will bring a great deal of valuable experience to everyone.
