Advanced Research in Electromagnetic Devices for Electric Vehicles

Dear Colleagues,

The electric vehicle theme is an important and relevant subject that paves the path for popular green vehicle technologies, since vehicle emissions account for more than 60% of the total pollutants in the urban air and have aroused great attention. Therefore, today, the need for zero-emission and ultra-low-emission vehicles is pressing, and the current fossil energy consumption is problematic. Moreover, as core components, electromagnetic devices are crucial for electric vehicles, and significantly impact the characteristics of the vehicles. In this context, Electronics is proposing to bring out a Special Issue aiming to provide the reader with a better understanding of the advanced research in electric vehicles and electromagnetic devices. 

We invite authors to submit original research articles to this Special Issue addressing the following potential topics. The Scope will include, but is not limited to:

• Pure electric vehicles and electric drive systems;
• Independent drive/brake/steering systems;
• Vehicle noise and vibration;
• Multiple driving modes and new control systems;
• Instability mechanisms and handling stability, acceleration slip regulation, model predictive and trajectory tracking control theories for electric vehicles;
• New sensors and data collection systems;
• Artificial intelligence and driverless technology;
• Electromagnetic elements and techniques;
• Electromagnetic system design, simulation, and control. 

In addition, in order to facilitate the comprehensive exchange of scholars, several open scopes of the Special Issue are provided, and mainly include:

• Mechatronic engineering;
• Electromagnetism ;
• Power electronic technology;
• Mechanical engineering and automation. 

Studies may utilize analytical models, different numerical methods, as well as experimental approaches.

Manuscript Submission Information

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

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. Electronics is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly 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 2400 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.
