Aims

Vehicle Dynamics is an international Open Access journal dedicated to advancing the science and engineering of vehicle dynamics. The journal aims to provide a high-quality, peer-reviewed platform for the publication and dissemination of original research articles and review articles that contribute to the fundamental understanding, modeling, analysis, control, and application of vehicle dynamics. By promoting open and rapid exchange of knowledge, the journal seeks to foster innovation and support the development of safer, more efficient, and more sustainable vehicles.

Scope

The journal covers all areas of vehicle dynamics, encompassing theoretical, computational, experimental, and applied research. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

• Vehicle handling, stability, and steering dynamics

• Ride comfort, vibration, and noise (NVH)

• Suspension systems and chassis design

• Tire–road interaction and tire modeling

• Multibody dynamics modeling, simulation, and validation

• Active, semi-active, and passive control of vehicle systems

• Dynamics of electric, hybrid, and autonomous vehicles

• Intelligent and connected vehicle dynamics

• Vehicle dynamics and advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS)

• Integrated chassis control and vehicle motion control

• Terrain, off-road, and special-purpose vehicle dynamics

• Rail, aircraft, and other vehicle dynamics (where relevant methodologies apply)

• Experimental methods, testing, and measurement techniques in vehicle dynamics

• Emerging topics at the intersection of vehicle dynamics and related fields

Article Types

The journal publishes original research articles, review articles, and other high-quality contributions that advance the field of vehicle dynamics.

Open Access

All articles are published under an Open Access model, ensuring free and unrestricted access to readers worldwide and maximizing the impact and visibility of published research.
