Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Road vehicles are the most prevalent transportation system. Over the last several decades, vehicles have been equipped with systems which prevent accidents and improve comfort and energy consumption. These systems, especially those that are related to safety, are attracting greater interest in autonomous vehicles (AV). An AV is a vehicle capable of making decisions to move safely without driver supervision. In this regard, obstacle detection and avoidance during navigation have become two of the most challenging problems in the field of AVs. Moreover, more advancements in control systems have to be achieved to guarantee a good performance and stability of AVs over a wide range of parameter changes and disturbances. In all these fields, a large number of sensors are required not only for perceiving and understanding the nearby environment but also for determining the dynamic behavior of the vehicle. Today, sensor fusion is playing a key role because it allows combining the advantages of different sensors to obtain better results. Although great advancements have been achieved in recent years in automotive applications, there are still aspects that need to be addressed.
The topics of interest include but are not limited to:
- Vehicle dynamics control;
- Obstacle detection;
- Sensor fusion;
- Learning techniques/deep learning;
- Internet of Things/5G;
- Estimation techniques;
- Autonomous vehicles.

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. 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.
