Vehicle Dynamics and Control, 2nd Edition
Topic Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Topic is a continuation of the previous successful Topic “Vehicle Dynamics and Control (https://www.mdpi.com/topics/J12MF37TK9)”. A vehicle is a typical multi-system-coupled, complex nonlinear dynamic system that exhibits different dynamic characteristics in the lateral, longitudinal, and vertical directions; thus, the research and control objectives in different directions are diverse. Vehicle dynamics and control are based on the dynamic equations of the entire vehicle and each subsystem. The key to obtaining good dynamic performance, stability, smoothness, and safety of vehicles is to control the vehicle’s speed, yaw rate, tire slip ratio, body roll angle, and vibration acceleration by adopting appropriate control algorithms. In recent years, with the rapid development of microelectronics, sensing, and automation technologies, people’s requirements for vehicle efficiency, energy saving, and intelligence are increasing. The industry has ushered in the technological changes of electrification, intelligence, and networking, which have also brought new challenges to research on vehicle dynamics and control. To further improve the power, stability, ride comfort, and safety of vehicles, dynamics and control have become the focus of relevant research by scholars in recent years. We therefore invite papers on innovative technical developments in addition to reviews, case studies, and analytical and assessment papers from different disciplines that are relevant to the topic of vehicle dynamics and control. The main topics of the section include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Vehicle drive system and braking system control;
- Optimal design and control of vehicle suspension systems;
- Lateral and longitudinal vehicle dynamics;
- Dynamics modeling, simulation analysis, and control system design;
- Chassis active control of intelligent electric vehicles;
- Lateral control of autonomous vehicles.
