Dynamics Modelling and Control of Electrified Chassis for Intelligent Vehicles

Dear Colleagues,

With the rapid development of intelligent electrified vehicles (IEVs), outstanding performance and fast response requirements are put forward for advanced chassis control systems. Distributed drive systems, steering-by-wire systems, active suspension systems, electro-hydraulic or electro-mechanical braking systems can all effectively empower the improvement of chassis dynamics control performance. The actuator response control of these chassis actuator systems themselves and their integrated application control of the entire vehicle are currently hot research issues in the context of new electronic and electrical architecture.

The aim of the Special Issue is to report the latest academic research results, including innovative technical research, engineering developments cases, technical reviews, as well as analytical and assessment papers from different disciplines that are relevant to the topic of chassis-by-wire technologies for future intelligent electric vehicle applications. Hence, both regular technical articles and review articles are welcomed. The scope of the research topic includes but not limited to:

• Design and dynamics modeling of active chassis actuator systems;
• Dynamic response analysis and control of active chassis actuators;
• Smart actuators’ advanced control for synthesizing efficiency and functional safety;
• Driving/braking force allocation and vehicle dynamics performance evaluation;
• Chassis dynamics control systems coordination and integration of IEVs;
• Decision making and trajectory planning in complex and urgent scenarios;
• State estimation and parameter identification for advanced motion control.

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.
