In chassis development, the three aspects of safety, vehicle dynamics and driving comfort are at the top of the list of challenges to be faced. This becomes even more complex when the chassis is required to interact with assistance systems and other systems for fully automated driving. New demands are also created by the introduction of modern electric and electronic architectures. All these requirements must be met by the chassis along with its subsystems steering, brakes, tires and wheels.

The chassis.tech plus brings numerous experts together for an exchange of ideas and experience as well as constructive discussions. Speakers from industry and research will address the latest developments in plenary sessions and four parallel strands.

 

Program

The syposium has the following main subject areas:

  • New Chassis Systems - In the context of electrification and lightweight design
  • Autonomous Vehicles - Challenges for Level 4 and 5
  • Chassis Control Systems - Focus on dynamics and comfort

The 1st day will be taken up by the interdisciplinary section chassis.tech plus with two parallel sessions of lectures in the afternoon. The symposium will focus on overriding issues relating to chassis systems and vehicle dynamics before dividing up on the 2nd day into the following four parallel sections concentrating on chassis, steering, brakes and wheels/tires:

  • chassis.tech
  • steering.tech
  • brake.tech
  • tire.wheel.tech

Our employee Francesco Calabrese will give a talk about »How to Handle the Increasing Variety of Potential Tire/Wheel Sizes in the Early Vehicle Development Process« in the section tire.wheel.tech at 11:30 a.m.

For the whole duration of the event, the accompanying trade exhibition will allow you to gather information on innovative products and services offered in the field of chassis development.
