Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The last few years witnessed tremendous progress in all areas of autonomous vehicle technology. However, even with unprecedented growth in computing power and algorithm, improvements are still sought to advance the field of control with emphasis in optimizing various aspects of vehicle performance, including drivability, safety critical function, energy efficiency, and environmental and societal impacts. This Special Issue aims to bring together researchers in industry and academics to present recent technological advancements or to provide comprehensive reviews or forward-looking visions and insights in the field of optimal control. Proposed topics include, but are not limited to
- Autonomous vehicle optimal control;
- Vehicle dynamics modeling and control;
- Chassis control;
- Vehicle safety control;
- Autonomous vehicle path planning;
- Energy-efficient connected and automated vehicles.
