Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Vehicle system dynamics is critical for understanding and optimizing the behavior of vehicles under diverse operating conditions. It ensures efficiency and reliability by enhancing stability, control, and crashworthiness while improving performance through refined handling, ride comfort, and fuel efficiency.
This Special Issue explores experimental and theoretical challenges in the dynamics of diverse vehicles, including road, marine, aerospace, airborne, rail, and other ground-based or unconventional systems. Applications range from passenger and cargo transportation to exploration, industrial operations, spatial missions, and military use. The focus is on advancing technical insights into vehicle behavior through physical models and/or experimental validation.
Topics of interest, including but not limited to:
- Dynamics of vehicle systems and subsystems such as suspension, steering, and braking.
- Vibration analysis and control in chassis and rotating components.
- Sustainable mobility through energy-efficient vehicle dynamics.
- Motion control, force distribution, and stabilization mechanisms.
- AI and machine learning for optimizing and predicting vehicle behavior.
- Smart vehicle technologies, including navigation and traffic systems.
- Advanced simulation tools, virtual prototyping, and digital twins.
- Mathematical modeling and parameter identification for dynamic studies.
- Vehicle-environment interactions, including terrain adaptability.
- Safety systems such as collision avoidance and crash mitigation.
- Experimental methods for real-world vehicle dynamics validation.
This Special Issue seeks to unite leading researchers, engineers, and industry professionals to exchange innovative insights and practical solutions in vehicle dynamics. By exploring a broad spectrum of critical topics, it aims to drive advancements in creating transportation systems that are more efficient, precise, safe, sustainable, and dependable across various applications.
We look forward to receiving your valuable contributions to this exciting field.

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. Machines is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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.
