SAE International Journal of Passenger Vehicle Systems

Aims & Scope

The SAE International Journal of Passenger Vehicle Systems (formerly SAE International Journal of Passenger Cars: Mechanical Systems) rigorously peer reviews and disseminates authoritative, non-biased original theoretical and applied research and informative case studies with respect to all the systems that comprise modern on-road passenger vehicles.

Only archival technical articles that advance the state of the art or insightfully piece together prior research and applications in ways that increase the understanding of automotive systems are selected for inclusion in this Journal.

The Journal publishes broad information topics related to vehicle systems architecture, performance, and integration.

These topics include, but are not limited to, the design, simulation, analysis, optimization, development, validation, and operation of vehicle systems and subsystems, together with the integration of parts and components.
