Brake and Suspension Systems for New Generation Vehicles

Dear Colleagues,

In recent years, driven by environmental issues and new mobility trends, we have been able to follow exciting progress in the research area of future vehicle models. New, disruptive, light electric vehicle concepts and technologies have been developed, such as urban three-wheelers with track variation systems or energy harvesting. Moreover, the increasing use of alternative new methodologies like machine learning and the use of big data within vehicle chassis control are promising developments to consider when addressing significant research topics. Prominent examples include sustainable individual mobility regarding passenger ride comfort, efficiency and emissions, and novel chassis applications for autonomous driving.

For this Special Issue of Vehicles entitled “Brake and suspension systems for new generation vehicles”, we are seeking original contributions within this research area. Topics include but are not limited to new brake and suspension topologies and concepts, developments to increase ride comfort and efficiency and reduce emissions, and the application of modern methods in vehicle chassis design and applications.

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. Vehicles is an international peer-reviewed open access quarterly 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 1600 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.
