Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Recently, the mass deployment of automated, electric, and hybrid electric vehicles (EV) are maturing rapidly. The future intelligent electrified vehicle (FIEV) has developed itself as an important cornerstone of today's intelligent transportation innovations including aerial vehicles. The integration of advanced sensing technology, data mining, machine learning (ML), E/E architecture, and vehicle control technologies allows FIEV to function independently in dynamic and unpredictable real-world environments. For the safety of the passengers, ML techniques and UI/UX systems are required for passenger interaction and user behavior/intention recognition. In addition, it is necessary to detect irregular situations in-cabin and around the vehicles for the safety of the humans and vehicles as well in FIEV. Similarly, efficient E/E architecture and new communication technologies are essential for integrated solutions of FIEV. The next-generation network (NGN) is considered a crucial factor for the success of FIEV by allowing different entities to exchange data in a fast and reliable manner. FIEV would revolutionize the way people experience transportation and mobility, hence making passengers free from conventional travel practices. There will soon be new classes of delivery vehicles like EV shuttle buses, air-taxis, and autonomous delivery vehicles that save passengers time and make travel fun. Moreover, simulation technology such as traffic and scenario-based simulation might be required to validate the operations of FIEV before being deployed in the real world.
The goal of this Special Issue is to attract and publish high-quality peer-reviewed articles in the field of FIEV. The guest editorial team invites researchers and industry experts to submit insightful and revolutionary contributions in the form of research and review articles focusing on, but not limited to, state-of-the-art and emerging trends covering the following potential topics:
Machine Learning and UI/UX in FIEV
- UI system architecture of intelligent EV

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 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
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.
