Event

SAFER's Vehicle Dynamics Competence Network and SVEA arranges their annual seminar and you are welcome to attend!

The seminar will be in “hybrid format”, meaning that both participation is possible either in-real-life and on-line.

Purpose with the seminar

• Present and discuss interesting issues within and challenges for Testing, development, and verification for Vehicle Dynamics
• Create understanding and interest for vehicle dynamics
• Develop, increase, and spread competence
• Networking between engineers, organisations, and students

Seminar costs: The seminar is free for SVEA members. SVEA will sponsor food (fika and light lunch) for members (incl. pending membership applicants) who attend in-real-life. For non-members attending in-real-life there will be a fee of 210 SEK (>membership fee). So, we encourage to apply for SVEA membership (https://www.sveafordon.com/en/for-members/register/). SVEA membership fee is 200 SEK/year (junior 0 SEK, senior 100 SEK).

Registration: Welcome to register here prior to May 17! Link to on-line meeting will be sent to those who register as on-line.
If you are member, it is good if you log in before registration.

Feedback on present years seminar and proposals for next year.

Discussion on smaller events beside yearly seminar (“workshops”)

Poster exhibition
There will be an exhibition of posters. It can be, e.g., master theses or PhD theses, both concluded and almost concluded. Please contact Lars Drugge larsd@kth.se or Bengt Jacobson bengt.jacobson@chalmers.se if you would like to propose a poster.

Each poster presenter should do a poster and a “micro presentation” with a few slides. Then also be available for questions at the poster stands.

Proceedings
There will be proceedings from the seminar. This means that the presenters, including poster presenters, are welcome with a paper, or at least a public version of their presentation material. The proceedings will be published on the web. It will include a list of seminar participants, unless you ask us to not list your name. The seminar is arranged by the Swedish Vehicle Dynamics Competence Area (VDCA) and hosted by SVEA. The seminar is arranged with VDCA representatives from:

• AstaZero
• CEVT
• Chalmers
• KTH
• VTI
• AFRY Automotive
• Scania
• Volvo Cars
• Volvo GTT

Welcome!
