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.

By forming the link between the road surface and the vehicle, the chassis plays a key role in enhancing vehicle dynamics and ride comfort. With its control systems, it provides the basis for the further development of driver assistance systems which support the driver in the task of driving the vehicle. This applies to an even greater extent to autonomous vehicles. Electromechanical steering and steerby- wire systems are one solution available. At the same time, the brake system as a safety component needs to be developed in such a way that it fulfills the requirements of powertrain hybridization and electrification.

As a platform for the exchange of experience and constructive discussions, the 9th International Munich Chassis symposium chassis.tech plus will bring together numerous experts in chassis systems, steering, brakes, and tires/ wheels from all over the world on 12 and 13 June 2018.
