Soil Modeling and Simulation for Terramechanics Applications of Manned and Unmanned Autonomous Vehicles. This Journal of Terramechanics Special Issue encourages manuscripts for: robust real-time physics-based soil models and simulation methods; real-time locomotion-soil interaction and 3D-force formation in the locomotion-soil contact; application of real-time physics-based soil models to vehicle mobility and energy efficiency modeling, simulation, and assessment on-the-go; calibration and validation of physics-based soil models, including but not limited to artificial intelligence-based validation of soil data; innovative in-situ soil exteroceptive and proprioceptive sensors, sensor models, and measurement methods for real-time applications on vehicle hardware and in real-time mobility simulations and prediction of vehicle dynamic behavior on off-road terrains.

“Meet with the right people, for the right reason, at the right time.”

After these several years of online conferences for ISTVS, we’re excited that we have two opportunities to get together with our terramechanics colleagues this year: Lublin in October and Barcelona in September!

ISTVS 2023 // October 11-13, 2023 | Lublin, Poland
The Lublin conference committee has been hard at work pulling together this return to our long tradition of in-person events. The most recent update is the details of the technical tour at the Military Institute of Armored and Automotive Technology (MIAAT). Early bird registration rates available for one more week!

FISITA // September 12-15, 2023 | Barcelona, Spain
ISTVS will be exhibiting at the September FISITA conference in Barcelona. Plan to visit our booth where Lutz Richter and Alex Keen will be leading our presence. Alex Keen will also be presenting in the Climate Change Sessions series. ISTVS members receive a 20% registration discount with code TMCEsmE23.

The four day FISITA World Congress will run concurrently with the one day FISITA World Mobility Summit the three-day EuroBrake and the one-day inaugural FISITA Intelligent Safety Conference Europe, with all taking place in the Barcelona International Convention Centre from 12-15 September 2023. As a member of ISTVS you are entitled to a discount of 20% on all delegate tickets for the event simply enter code TMCEsmE23 when paying for your ticket.

Update 2023-03-14
Two weeks to submit a technical paper // Submit a technical paper abstract for the FISITA World Congress. This September you could be presenting your ideas to an audience of the world's leading mobility professionals. If your paper is chosen, you will receive a 50% discount on your delegate ticket to the TMCE. This could give you access to all four days of the World Congress, as well as the inaugural Intelligent Safety Conference Europe, World Mobility Summit and EuroBrake.
