Electrified Intelligent Transportation Systems

Dear Colleagues,

Contemporary transportation systems have developed, shaping a future of travel which will be intelligent, sustainable, safe, and energy- and traffic-efficient. The realization of intelligent transportation systems requires close collaboration among different research fields: decision-making, for example, could determine the optimal time to start travelling and vehicle charging; within a journey, trajectory planning and speed control could lead to energy- and traffic-efficient driving; the Internet of Things (IoT) could provide V2X infrastructure for collecting and fusing the information needed to realize intelligent transport; and a smart grid could provide the opportunity for highly efficient and reasonable V2G charging.

For this Special Issue of Vehicles entitled “Electrified Intelligent Transportation Systems”, we are encouraging interdisciplinary research involving transport, vehicles, energy, and power systems. Topics include, but are not limited to, electric vehicles, intelligent and connected vehicles, energy storage and management, smart grids, and optimization and control.

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-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 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 1800 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.
