The Fifth Vehicle Dynamics and Control Seminar will take place on Tuesday 21st March 2017 at Fitzwilliam College, Cambridge, UK. The
seminar will be of benefit to engineers working in many branches of vehicle and
component engineering including research, design, development, testing and
competition. The topics covered are relevant to a broad range of vehicles
including road and racing cars, bicycles and
trucks. Fifteen
presentations
in four
sessions
will cover minimising
energy consumption,
driver
control behaviour,
vehicle
handling
at the limit of adhesion, and vehicle dynamics and suspension. Each
presentation
will
be followed by audience questions. Refreshment breaks
and lunch will offer opportunities for further discussion. There are no written papers, only oral presentations, but delegates will be given copies of the presentations on usb stick. The cost of attending the seminar is £80 inclusive of lunch and refreshments (exempt from VAT). Unfortunately registration is now closed because the capacity of the venue has been reached. Please contact Claire Whitaker (cw535 at cam.ac.uk) if you wish to be put on the reserve list, since there may be cancellations.

Previous Seminars Vehicle Dynamics and Control 2015 The fourth in this series of biennial one-day seminars on vehicle dynamics and control was held on Tuesday 17 March 2015 at Murray Edwards College in Cambridge. The topics covered were relevant to a broad range of vehicles including road and racing cars, bicycles and trucks. 110 delegates from the UK and Europe heard fifteen presentations in four sessions covered steering control, control at limits of adhesion, tyre and vehicle dynamics, and racing. Each presentation was followed by audience questions. Refreshment breaks and lunch offered opportunities for further discussion. Vehicle Dynamics and Control 2013 The third in this series of biennial one-day seminars on vehicle dynamics and control was held on Tuesday 16 April 2013 at Murray Edwards College in Cambridge. 110 delegates from the UK and Europe heard thirteen presentations in four
sessions covering vehicle dynamics, driver control behaviour, ride, handling and stability
control.  Vehicle Dynamics and Control 2011 A one-day seminar to explore recent developments in the design and analysis of vehicle dynamic behaviour was held at Fitzwilliam College, Cambridge University on Tuesday 5 April 2011. 120 delegates from the UK and Europe (and one from USA) heard thirteen presentations on driver behaviour and modelling, chassis dynamics and control, and dynamics of low carbon vehicles.     Vehicle Dynamics and Control 2009 A one-day seminar to explore recent developments in the design and analysis of vehicle dynamic behaviour was held at the Department of Engineering, University of Cambridge on Thursday 2 April 2009. More than 100 delegates from the UK and Europe heard eleven presentations on vehicle vibration, vehicle dynamics, tyres, steering, and path following control. Photo credits to Tim Johns
