International Journal of Vehicle Autonomous Systems

Aims & Scope

IJVAS is an established international authoritative reference in the field of vehicle autonomous systems research and development.

Such systems aim to increase accident avoidance and road capacity, improve the travel experience by relieving occupants of driving/navigation chores, reduce total vehicle numbers and eliminate some of the services/infrastructure associated with motoring today.

Topics covered include: -Active safety and driver-assistance systems- Vehicle and chassis dynamics and controls- Vehicle electronics, electrification and mechatronics- Vehicular wireless communications and networks- Object sensing and detection; sensor fusion- Intelligent vehicle and transport systems- Vehicle navigation, motion and trajectory planning- Multi-vehicle coordination and vehicle platooning
