Call for Papers

NVH has always been an important indicator of vehicle processing and quality. The increased variety and complexity of today's powertrains is further increasing the effort required for acoustic development. Noises that the internal combustion engine has masked are now clearly emerging. As a result, acoustic experts are faced with the challenge of effectively reducing the noises also from servomotors and auxiliary units that are no longer superimposed. Lightweight construction also increases the complexity of striving for a comfortable NVH level. Better measurement analyses and faster calculation methods are important tools for this and central topics in the experts' discussion.

The biennial Automotive Acoustics Conference has established itself as the leading global conference in the field of automotive acoustics, providing an up-to-date overview of the latest trends and expertise. At the 2017 conference, more than 250 participants representing 119 companies gathered at the Gottlieb Duttweiler Institute (GDI) in Zurich/Rueschlikon. The 2019 edition will again take place at this renowed Swiss think tank under the patronage of Professor Dr. Paolo Ermanni of ETH.

The conference program includes presentations by OEMs, suppliers, engineering service providers, and university research institutes. The event is complemented by parallel workshops on the latest trends in the automotive industry as well as an extensive exhibition of various suppliers presenting innovations in acoustic management.

After the conference, your presentations will be published on the Springer Professional knowledge platform.

We cordially invite you contribute to the success of this ATZ Conference by submitting a specialist presentation.
