Vehicle System Dynamics

Journal overview

Vehicle System Dynamics is an international journal, providing a source of information for the vehicle engineer and the applied scientist. The journal emphasizes the theoretical background of research and development problems of all kinds of road, rail and other ground-based vehicles. Main topics are:

Dynamics of vehicle systems and their components including suspension, steering, braking, chassis systems, noise-vibration-harshness, power train
Control of motion and forces affecting vehicle behaviour
Computer aided modelling and simulation, validation, parameter identification and testing, driver modelling
Vehicle interactions with the environment including wheel-rail and tyre-ground behaviour
Active Safety Systems including collision and derailment warning, avoidance and mitigation
Intelligent vehicles, guided vehicles, automated traffic systems related to vehicle dynamics, unconventional vehicles

All published research articles in this journal have undergone rigorous peer review, based on initial editor screening and anonymous refereeing by independent expert referees.

Authors are advised that all papers submitted to Vehicle Dynamic Systems must fit the following criteria:

Address a topic related to both vehicle systems AND dynamics
Relate to the dynamics of the vehicle and its environment
Provide archivable technical information of interest to the vehicle system dynamics community

Authors can choose to publish gold open access in this journal.
