Symposium will be held at the McGill Faculty Club , 3450 McTavish St, Montreal, Quebec H3A 1X9, in the centre of Montreal and in the middle of the McGill downtown campus.
There are many hotels within a 5-10 minute walking distance. Attendees should make their own accommodation arrangements. Nearby hotels include: Sofitel, Delta, Omni, St-Martin, and Best Western, and there are also several others.
Breakfasts, coffee breaks, and lunches for Oct. 6 and 7 will be part of the symposium. No need to take a breakfast option at the hotel for those days. The detailed symposium schedule will be posted soon.
Please note that presenters are required to register and attend the symposium to be considered for inclusion in the Symposium Proceedings. Register now if you haven’t already. Registrations are also welcome from interested researchers who aren’t presenting.

ISTVS conferences form an amazing legacy since our first meeting in 1962 in Turin, Italy — International Society for Terrain-Vehicle Systems today is a connected group of collaborative professionals from industry, universities, and research institutions who have been meeting over six decades to share research findings.
Importantly, we are returning to a face-to-face meeting format to foster exchanges on terrain vehicles research in our global community. After an outage imposed by the COVID pandemic, the ISTVS this year is holding its first in-person gathering, in the form of a symposium staged outside the usual rhythm of our regional and international meetings.
The ISTVS 2022 Americas Symposium will provide you a place where you can exchange ideas and receive technical information on current and future research and technology developments in terramechanics and terrain/road-vehicle system dynamics, control, design, autonomous vehicle systems and Industry 4.0.
Topics | For the symposium, we are soliciting papers and posters related to the following topics:
Utility vehicles for terrain mobility
Military vehicles
Construction, forestry, and mining equipment
Farm tractors and machinery
Unmanned ground vehicles for the military and for space exploration
Autonomous driving systems
Location | The symposium will take place in downtown Montréal, Québec, Canada, at the McGill University Faculty Club. 400 USD, includes breakfast, lunch and coffee breaks for two days, October 6 and 7, and networking events on October 5 and 6. Full location and reservation information to be announced.

Details | The 2022 ISTVS Americas Symposium will take place over 2 full days, October 6 and 7, with a reception the evening before on October 5. There will be a poster session during the conference. Technical presentations and group discussions are planned during the dinner and lunch time. The following technical sessions are planned:
Terramechanics, locomotion, and soil/terrain modeling, including: recent accomplishments in terramechanics research and education; locomotion systems; and soil and terrain modeling, characterization, and simulation
Advances in mobility, energy efficiency, and ground vehicle dynamics
Agricultural, construction, forestry, and mining equipment
Mobile robotics for ground applications, lunar and planetary exploration, and other environments
Military ground vehicle robotics
Innovative system designs for terrain and road vehicle applications
Terramechanics-based AI techniques and controls for autonomous mobility
Submission
Submit abstracts below by July 30, 2022 — Deadline now August 6, 2022:
If you are in the Americas Region of the ISTVS and have already submitted work to the 11th Asia-Pacific Regional Conference of the ISTVS, you are both permitted and encouraged to submit the same work to the 2022 symposium.
Please note that all accepted presenters are required to register and attend the symposium—confirm that you can attend the symposium prior to submitting.
