Electrification of transportation systems continues to increase both to reduce the negative effect of petroleum-based transportation on the climate and the quality of life and to allow for enhanced safety and comfort of transportation at large. These developments are often subject to tight constraints on cost, mass, and volume. At the same time, the requirements on the reliability of the systems in these applications are becoming more demanding. Significant literature is available on power electronic systems. Yet, the specifics of the analysis and prevention of failures of different components, subsystems, and systems as they apply in automotive, aerospace, and other transportation systems have, at large still, not yet been fully addressed, and will remain open as the demands of overall cost and performance continuously increase.

客座社论特刊：电气化运输应用中的故障分析和预防

运输系统的电气化不断增加，既减少了石油基运输对气候和生活质量的负面影响，又提高了运输的总体安全性和舒适性。这些发展常常受到成本，质量和数量的严格限制。同时，这些应用中对系统可靠性的要求也越来越高。有关电力电子系统的大量文献。但是，分析和预防在汽车，航空航天和其他运输系统中应用的不同组件，子系统和系统的故障的细节在很大程度上仍未得到充分解决，并且将根据需求保持开放总体成本和性能持续增长。
