8th international munich chassis symposium 2017
TRANSCRIPT
Today, a steadily growing store of information is called for in order to understand the increasingly complex technologies used in modern automobiles. Functions, modes of operation, components and systems are rapidly evolving, while at the same time the la-test expertise is disseminated directly from conferences, congresses and symposia to the professional world in ever-faster cycles. This series of proceedings offers rapid access to this information, gathering the specific knowledge needed to keep up with cutting-edge advances in automotive technologies, employing the same systematic approach used at conferences and congresses and presenting it in print (available at Springer.com) and electronic (at SpringerLink and Springer Professional) formats.
The series addresses the needs of automotive engineers, motor design engineers and students looking for the latest expertise in connection with key questions in their field, while professors and instructors working in the areas of automotive and motor design engineering will also find summaries of industry events they weren’t able to attend. The proceedings also offer valuable answers to the topical questions that concern assessors, researchers and developmental engineers in the automotive and supplier industry, as well as service providers.

WELCOME
The development of highly and fully automatic driving and the increasing electrification of the powertrain now face chassis development with new challenges too. Innovative chassis systems have to provide solutions for automated driving. The efficient chassis of the future also has to keep an eye on CO2 targets, comfort and customer focus at all times. A modern chassis has to provide for this in the form of innovations while taking the physical and mechanical interdependencies into account. Confronting these new developments is a challenge for simulation and testing.
To allow an exchange of experience and a constructive discussion of current topics, the 8th International Munich Chassis Symposium chassis.tech plus to be held on 20 and 21 June 2017 will bring together numerous experts from all over the world to discuss chassis, steering, brakes and tires / wheels.
At the symposium, well-known keynote speakers will offer a comprehensive overview of new approaches for solving these challenges. Speakers from industry and research will deal with current developments in the four parallel strands for chassis, steering, brakes and tires / wheels. The lecture program will be rounded off by interdisciplinary sections at the beginning and end of the event.
We are happy to welcome you to the hotel ‘Bayrischer Hof’ in the heart of Munich and hope you will enjoy this thought-provoking event.
Prof. Dr. Peter E. Pfeffer Munich University of Applied Sciences Scientific Director of the Symposium
