Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The transportation sector is currently undergoing substantial changes driven by technological advancements in electrical and autonomous vehicles.
Electric vehicles have right now a big impact on all kinds of transport activity. The technological advancements in various components such as power converters, energy storage systems, charging systems, control techniques or hybrid energy management systems, together with reduced manufacturing costs, have facilitated the development and commercialization of all kinds of electric vehicles (bicycles, motorcycles, cars, buses, etc).
Autonomous vehicles offer an impressive potential impact on mobility and are expected to fully transform our daily lives, although they are still in an early stage of development and implementation, and some improvements are still required for their wide deployment. Control techniques, connection requirements and, particularly, safety issues are key aspects that this technology has yet to solve.
The purpose of this Special Issue is to publish insightful and prominent original review papers discussing key topics in the field. We expect these papers to be widely read and highly influential.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
- Electric vehicle chargers (on-board, off-board, and wireless power transfer);
- Converters for electric drives and power trains;
- Battery management systems;
- New battery technologies;
- Power supplies for auxiliary systems;
- Power and energy management strategies;
- Self-driving cars/autonomous driving vehicles;
- Artificial intelligence applications for vehicles and traffic;
- Electric vehicles and smart cities/smart grids/smart homes;
- Vehicle-to-grid (V2G), vehicle-to-home (V2H), vehicle-to-everything (V2X).
