Dear colleagues,

The following Special Issue will be published in Sensors
(http://www.mdpi.com/journal/sensors/, ISSN 1424-8220), and is now
open to receive submissions of full research papers and comprehensive
review articles for peer-review and possible publication:

Special Issue: New Trends towards Automatic Vehicle Control and
Perception Systems
Website: http://www.mdpi.com/si/sensors/vehicle_control/
Guest Editors: Dr. Vicente Milanés and Prof. Dr. Luis Miguel Bergasa
Deadline for manuscript submissions: 30 August 2012

This Special Issue aims to disseminate recent advances on in-car sensors
in order to develop advanced vehicle control systems towards a more
sustainability transport. Novel theoretical approaches or practical
applications of in-car sensors toward the design, development and
implementation of intelligent vehicles in real and complex environments
are welcomed.

Topics of this Special Issue include, but are not limited to

* sensors integration for positioning system
* real-time motion planning
* autonomous navigation systems
* intelligent maneuvering in complex environments
* obstacle avoidance
* traffic road detection
* off-road guidance
* parking aid systems
* environment perception
* road safety applications
* unmanned vehicles
* collision prediction and mitigation
* driver assistance systems
* safety systems
* simultaneous localization and mapping
* 3D reconstruction
* cooperative perception
* new sensing devices
* human-robot interaction

You may send your manuscript now or up until the deadline
Submitted papers should not have been published previously, nor be under
consideration for publication elsewhere. We also encourage authors to send
us their tentative title and short abstract by e-mail for approval to the
Editorial Office at sensors@mdpi.com.

This Special Issue will be fully open access. Open access (unlimited and
free access by readers) increases publicity and promotes more frequent
citations as indicated by several studies. Open access is supported by the
authors and their institutes. More information is available at
http://www.mdpi.com/about/openaccess/. Article Processing Charges
(APC) are of 1600 CHF per accepted article. For details see:
http://www.mdpi.com/about/apc/.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors before submitting a manuscript:
http://www.mdpi.com/journal/sensors/instructions/. Manuscripts should be
submitted through the online manuscript submission and editorial system at
http://www.mdpi.com/user/manuscripts/upload/.

Sensors (ISSN 1424-8220) is the leading international, peer-reviewed
open access journal on the science and technology of sensors and
biosensors, and is published by MDPI online monthly. Papers published in
Sensors will receive high publicity since the journal is freely available online.
Sensors is covered by leading indexing services, including the Science
Citation Index Expanded (Web of Science), Chemical Abstracts, INSPEC,
Scopus and CAB Abstracts, PubMed/MEDLINE. The most recent Impact
Factor for the year 2010 is 1.771.

MDPI publishes several peer-reviewed, open access journals listed at
http://www.mdpi.com/. The Editorial Board members, including several
Nobel Laureates (http://www.mdpi.com/about/nobelists/), are all leading
active scholars. All MDPI journals maintain rapid, yet rigorous, peer-
review, manuscript handling and editorial processes. MDPI journals have
increased their impact factors, see "2010 Newly Released Impact Factors",
