On behalf of the Symposium Organising Committee, we invite you to attend the 26th IAVSD Symposium on Dynamics of Vehicles on Roads and Tracks, taking place at the Lindholmen Conference Centre in Gothenburg, Sweden, from 12-16 August 2019.

The IAVSD Symposium on Dynamics of Vehicles on Roads and Tracks is a leading international symposium bringing together researchers, scientists and engineers from academia and industry in the field of ground vehicle dynamics to present and exchange their latest ideas and breakthroughs.

The biennial IAVSD Symposia have been held in internationally renowned locations and this event will, for the third time, take place in Sweden, this time in Gothenburg – the automotive epicentre in Sweden. The organisers of this Symposium are the Department of Mechanics and Maritime Sciences together with the Chalmers Railway Mechanics (CHARMEC) which the Centre of Excellence in Railway Mechanics at Chalmers University of Technology and the Vehicle and Traffic Safety Centre at Chalmers (SAFER). The above two areas are also part of the Transport Area of Advance at Chalmers.

The Symposium will also offer an opportunity to participants to visit interesting places and to observe road and rail operations and advanced technologies in the beautiful West Coast of Sweden.

We look forward to welcoming your participation in what we believe will be a truly memorable Symposium.
