   Objectives

IJVAS aims to investigate: how vehicle autonomous systems contribute to the high and safe performance, as well as the reliability and cost effectiveness of vehicles in an ecologically friendly environment; how the systems contribute to the driver comfort and reduce his/her working load during driving; and how the systems are designed and accepted by the driver (the customer).

   Readership

Professionals, academics, researchers, and managers.

   Contents

IJVAS publishes original papers, review papers, case studies, conference reports, briefs and reports and news, book reviews and notes.Commentaries on papers and reports published in IJVAS are encouraged. Authors will have the opportunity to respond to the commentary on their work before the entire treatment is published. Special Issues devoted to important topics in vehicle autonomous systems and related topics, will be published occasionally.

   Specific Notes for Authors

Submitted papers should not have been previously published nor be currently under consideration for publication elsewhere. (N.B. Conference papers may only be submitted if the paper was not originally copyrighted and if it has been completely re-written).

All papers are refereed through a double blind process. A guide for authors, sample copies and other relevant information for submitting papers are available in the Full Submission Guidelines web-page.

AUTHORS MUST SUBMIT THEIR PAPERS THROUGH THE ON LINE SUBMISSION SYSTEM, OTHERWISE THEIR PAPERS WOULD NOT BE CONSIDERED FOR PUBLICATION

All papers must be submitted online. To submit a paper, please go to Online Submissions of Papers. If you experience any problems submitting your paper online, please contact submissions@inderscience.com, describing the exact problem you experience. Please include in your email the title of the Journal.
