Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Millions of people suffer injuries in car crashes every year, about 94% of which are caused by careless driving. To solve this problem, adaptive cruise control (ACC) is available to advance driver-assistance systems (DASs) to enhance driving safety and riding comfort through adjusting driving velocity to maintain a safe distance from vehicles ahead. Considering the safety and real-time application of ACC, bionic optimizations are proposed to resolve challenges to enhancing safety and driving comfort. Firstly, according to the dynamics model, the fitness function is defined concerning driving safety, including the distance between intelligent vehicles and obstacles, and distance between intelligent vehicles and targets, and riding comfort. Secondly, the optimal driving parameters that minimize the fitness function can be found using bionic optimization algorithms. Finally, simulation results show that the optimization method and its fitness function can further enhance ACC performance and reliability in real time.
There are numerous recent and novel bionic optimizations being developed with algorithm swarm intelligence, including ant colony, swarm of bees, flock of birds, school of fish, swarm of salmonella bacterium, behavior of cuckoos during forced nest parasitism, glowworm swarm, weed farmland colonization, behavior of frog groups during the food searching process, swarm of flies, behavior of frog groups during the food searching process, flock of bats, etc.
This Special Issue is devoted to the latest developments in bionic optimizations and controls for intelligent vehicles. Prospective authors are invited to submit original contributions that include but are not limited to the following topics of interest:
- Advanced ACC/DAS systems;
- Advanced manufacturing techniques, including bionic characteristics;
- Optimal solutions to driving issues;
- Integration of hybrid strategies for driving safety;
- Integration of bionic optimization and machine learning technologies;
- Fitness functions designed for system optimization;
- Bionic control/optimization for intelligent vehicles.

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. World Electric Vehicle Journal 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 1400 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.
