Call for Papers

The 11th Asia-Pacific Regional Conference of the ISTVS welcomes original and previously unpublished research and review papers describing results of research which are relevant to the conference topics and to terrain-vehicle systems.

Submission // Authors wishing to make a submission are requested to submit an abstract by May 15 30, 2022 (updated 2022-05-13). Abstracts are requested to be about 200-300 words and must emphasize the objectives and results. Authors may choose between two types of submissions: abstract-only and full paper.

Therefore, if your abstract is accepted, we strongly encourage you to submit a full paper.

Review // All abstracts will be reviewed by the Conference Scientific Committee. Abstract acceptance will be notified to the corresponding author by May 30, 2022.

Technical tracks for paper submission // The conference includes the following thematic tracks:

• Terramechanics, terrain/soil-wheel/tire/track interaction, modeling, and characterization

• Advances in mobility, energy transfer, efficiency, ground vehicle dynamics, safety, and high-fidelity simulation

• Land locomotion, off-road and military vehicles, operation mud, snow, and ice

• Agricultural, forestry, construction, and mining equipment and vehicle operations

• Mobile robotics for ground applications, planet exploration and other environments

• Design/control, sensing/actuation in cyber-physical systems for vehicle dynamics and mobility

• Innovative system designs for terrain and road-vehicle applications

• Application of artificial intelligence to vehicles
