11th International Conference on Advanced Vehicle and Tire Technologies (AVTT) ( Call for Papers pdf) Description The 10th International Conference on Advanced Vehicle and Tire Technologies (AVTT) is an integral part of the 2009 ASME International Design Engineering Technical Conferences and Computers and Information in Engineering Conferences (2009 IDETC/CIE) and will take place at the San Diego Convention Center, in San Diego, California, from August 30-September 2, 2009. This Conference is sponsored by the Vehicle Design Technical Committee, which is an integral part of the ASME Design Engineering Division. Papers are invited on innovative analytical, computational, and experimental investigations in control, dynamics, and design of full vehicle systems and their sub-assemblies. Papers may address fundamental research, applied research, or successful implementations relating to light or heavy vehicle design and development. More specifically, the following symposia will be organized: Advances in Methods for Vehicle Systems Design and Control; Advances in Vehicle Systems Product Development; Advances in Vehicle Design Tools to Enhance Safety, Health, and Ergonomics; Advances in Safety Applications of Vehicle Design Tools; Advances in Multibody Systems Modeling and Validation for Vehicle Dynamics Applications; Advances in Vehicle Systems Dynamics and Control; Advances in non-conventional, energy efficient and environmentally friendly vehicles. Objectives Authors and presenters are invited to participate in this event to expand international cooperation, understanding and promotion of efforts and disciplines in the area of 10th International Conference on Advanced Vehicle and Tire Technologies (AVTT). Dissemination of knowledge by presenting research results, new developments, and novel concepts in 10th International Conference on Advanced Vehicle and Tire Technologies (AVTT) will serve as the foundation upon which the conference program of this area will be developed. Likely topics include but are not limited to: Advances in Methods for Vehicle Systems Design and Control Advances in Vehicle Design Tools to Enhance Safety, Health, and Ergonomics Advances in Multibody Systems Modeling and Validation for Vehicle Dynamics Applications Advances in Vehicle Systems Dynamics and Control Advances in Non-Conventional, Energy Efficient and Environmentally Friendly Vehicles
All papers will be reviewed and, if accepted, will be published in the conference proceedings on CD-ROM. For further information please contact the organizers of the 10th International Conference on Advanced Vehicle and Tire Technologies (AVTT):
