Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue focuses on vehicle safety research, with an emphasis on the design, construction and equipment of vehicles with the goal of minimising the occurrence and consequences of road crashes. New developments in vehicles are intended to reduce the number of accidents caused by human error and prevent fatalities, as well as reduce fuel consumption and lower exhaust emissions. Advanced safety systems used for this purpose require sensors both inside and outside vehicles to detect and identify objects, determine their movement parameters, monitor the behaviour of drivers and passengers and predict future behaviour in order to avoid potential collisions.
Transport and road infrastructure safety is closely related to vehicle safety. Intelligent transport infrastructure systems comprise various technologies, including telecommunications, information technology and automatic systems using complex measurement systems and sophisticated analysis methods. These support the transport system, increasing its efficiency and improving the safety of road users.
This Special Issue intends to bring together original theoretical and empirical articles addressing safety issues in vehicles and intelligent transport infrastructure systems. Topics relevant to this Special Issue include the following: the use of different types of sensors in research to improve vehicle safety; technology, methods and sensors used in crash tests; the application of sensors to detect and identify obstacles and oncoming objects, determine their movement parameters and position and predict their future behaviour in order to avoid potential collisions; measuring methods and sensors used in vehicle traction tests and vehicle diagnostics; the use of sensors to assess the performance indicators of reciprocating internal combustion engines taking into account their harmful effects on the environment; sensors for monitoring the behaviour and psycho-physical state of drivers and passengers (e.g., visual sensors, motion sensors, breathalysers); assessment algorithms; systems and sensors for intelligent transport infrastructures to monitor road users, to perform predictive analytics and to improve traffic flow and road safety; and cargo securing systems in road transport.

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.
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-anonymized peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Sensors 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 2600 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.
