IJVP, a journal of the International Association for Vehicle Design, serves as the leading source of information on multidisciplinary issues relevant to performance of ground vehicle systems and sub-systems for vehicle engineers and scientists. The scope of IJVP covers theoretical and experimental developments in performance analyses and assessments of ground vehicles including road, off-road, all-terrain and guided vehicles. In light of the diversified performance requirements for different vehicles, the IJVP focuses on
- identification of measures relevant to different performance aspects of a vehicle system including safety, handling, ride quality, directional stability, braking, driveability, functionality, reliability, durability, efficiency, economy and impact on the environment;
- new concepts/methods and pioneering techniques in the analysis, assessment and improvements in vehicle performance.
 Objectives
IJVP aims to emphasize emerging challenges and state-of-the-art developments addressing the changing needs of the society and the global vehicle industry, and to facilitate dissemination of technological advances focusing on performance measures, standardization, associated cost and compatibility compromises, and multi-solution methods in vehicle developments. Readership
IJVP provides a leading forum for research and development engineers, standardisation bodies, regulators and policy makers, and academics in all aspects addressing the performance goals/requirements, methods of analysis/assessments, and performance enhancements of vehicle systems and sub-systems, including the human driver. Contents
IJVP welcomes original research papers and critical reviews of topics highlighting multidisciplinary issues relevant to performance of on-road, off-road and guided vehicle systems. The journal also encourages submissions of brief technical notes highlighting theoretical or experimental developments in performance analyses of vehicle systems or subsystems. A technical note must be limited to a maximum of 2000 words. Subject Coverage
The major subject areas of the IJVP include but are not limited to:
- Performance requirements, analyses and assessments of ground vehicles including road, off-road, railway, all-terrain and electric/hybrid vehicles
- Vehicle system performance cascading to subsystems, and impact of component/subsystem designs on vehicle level performances
- Ride, handling, roll stability, traction/braking, directional control and guidance, road-friendliness, chassis loads, noise-vibration-harshness, crashworthiness and crash prevention, driver/occupant environment and power management performance requirements, and analytical and experimental methods for performance evaluations
- New methodologies addressing subjective and objective vehicle system level performances, and correlations among the subjective and objective measures
- Developments in performance analyses and assessment tools addressing interdisciplinary integration, cost and compatibility issues related to diverse performance requirements, and multi-solution optimisation in vehicle development
- Human driver performance coupled with the vehicle system and modelling of the driver behaviour
- Developments and critical analyses of standardised performance analyses methods, and design guidelines
- Characterisation and control of disturbances, motions and forces affecting vehicle performance
- Performance requirements and analyses of stability enhancement systems and active safety systems including the early warning systems on collisions, roll and yaw instability, derailment, fault diagnostics, wheel-rail defects, etc.
- Performance analyses of tyres and tracks coupled with deformable and non-deformable terrains
- Performance requirements, guidelines and analysis for electric/hybrid vehicles, including developments in control and power management systems
- Racing car dynamics, handling and stability at the limits, and impact of green racing
