Call for Papers

Hardly any other area of the car is currently caught in such a conflict between tradition and trans­formation as chassis technology. This is where all of the various influences converge. Automated driving, power­train electri­fication, software-defined vehicles, and artificial intelligence are funda­mentally changing the require­ments regarding vehicle dynamics, and this includes the suspension, steering, brakes, and tires/wheels. At the same time, driving enjoyment, safety, comfort, and efficiency remain the defining bench­marks for end-user value.

The wide range of topics that are currently setting the trends – steer-by-wire and brake-by-wire systems, virtual sensors, driving simulators, digital twins, and AI-supported develop­ment methods, as well as new materials, Euro 7 legislation, and global market needs – demonstrates how closely mechanical systems and electronics have to be linked with hardware and software today. It is a matter of how international teams of engineers are responding to the question of how mobility and the driving experience will continue to develop in the markets of the future.

The 18th International Munich Chassis Symposium chassis.tech plus will bring together numerous experts in wheel suspension systems, steering, brakes, and tires/wheels as well as for automated driving for an exchange of experience and constructive discussions. This is your opportunity to show us what your innovative research and development activities currently look like. On behalf of the Scientific Advisory Boards, we cordially invite you to contribute with a paper to the success of our globally recognized event and look forward to your submission. After the symposium, your paper will be published as part of the conference proceedings at Springer Vieweg and on the online platforms Springer Link and Springer Professional.

We look forward to talking with you on site.

Further details on submitting a paper can be found in this Call for Papers.
