IJVS provides an authoritative source of information in the field of vehicle safety design, research and development. It serves applied scientists, engineers, policy makers and safety advocates with a platform to develop, promote and coordinate the science, technology and practice of vehicle safety. IJVS seeks to establish channels of communication between industry, academy and government in the field of vehicle safety, and also covers subjects of passive/active safety in road traffic as well as traffic-related public health issues.
Topics covered include
- Accident case studies/data analysis/reconstruction/avoidance
- Elderly driver safety, vulnerable road users' protection
- Impact biomechanics, injury mechanisms/criteria/tolerance
- Crash dummy development, human body modelling
- Occupant protection/restraint systems, child safety
- Mechatronics and technologies for smart-restraint systems
- Vehicle reliability/safety, vehicle crashworthiness/compatibility analysis
- Smart materials for crashworthiness/occupant protection
- Injury mitigation technology development
- Intelligent driving systems, driving control systems development
- Assisted driver information/communication systems
- Intelligent highway systems, satellite systems for vehicle sensing

Objectives
The objectives of IJVS are:
- To develop, promote and coordinate the science, technology and practice of vehicle safety
- To help engineers and applied scientists engage in vehicle safety design and research
- To allow engineers and applied scientists to contribute to the field, to disseminate technical information, and to learn from each other|s work
- To provide an international forum for information exchange in the development and application of non-deterministic methods and practices for the enhancement of vehicle safety and the mitigation of road traffic injuries
The international dimension is emphasised in order to overcome cultural and national barriers and to meet the needs of accelerating technological change and changes in the global environment. The goal of IJVS is to enhance vehicle safety and minimise road traffic injuries through technology innovation.
Readership
Automotive engineers, academics, researchers, managers, designers, technologists, policy makers and safety advocates, working in universities, research institutes, and industries.
