Performance and Safety Enhancement Strategies in Vehicle Dynamics and Ground Contact.

Recent trends in vehicle engineering prove the great effort that scientists and industries have made in seeking solutions to enhance both the performance and the safety of vehicular systems. Physical models concerning vehicle-ground interaction, control strategies for the vehicle and its subsystems, and new technologies are developing all over the world for this purpose. The accepted scientific contributions covered topics concerning new results and studies in the following areas related to the interaction of vehicle dynamics and the ground: Physical models concerning tire-road and vehicle-ground interaction: In particular, [[1]] refers to new developments in airless (or non-pneumatic) tires, representing a significant perspective in the future evolution of such components.
