ISTVS 20th International
and 9th Americas Conference
Montréal, Québec, Canada // Sept 20-23, 2020
Please circulate this Call for Papers among your colleagues
Dear Colleagues,
On behalf of our Scientific and Organizing Committees, I would like to invite you to submit your contributions and participate in the 20th International Conference of the International Society for Terrain-Vehicle Systems in Montréal, September 20-23.
The aim of the conference is to bring together researchers and practitioners from academia and industry to discuss and learn leading-edge research, recent accomplishments, and future trends in the areas of terrain-vehicle systems:
- Terramechanics, locomotion, and soil/terrain modelling
- Advances in mobility, energy efficiency, and ground vehicle dynamics
- Agricultural, forestry, and construction equipment and machinery
- Mobile robotics for ground and planetary applications
- Innovative system designs for terrain and road-vehicle applications
As part of the conference program we are also organizing a technical tour, planned to include visits at CMLabs Simulations and the Canadian Space Agency.
Montréal is the largest city in the province of Québec, and the second largest in Canada. It never fails to charm with its irresistible blend of European chic, avant-garde attitude, and North American urban effervescence. We hope you will join the conference and experience this unique city yourself.
- Deadline for the submission of abstracts » March 15, 2020
- ISTVS 2020 conference website » conference.istvs.org
We look forward to seeing you in September.
