Conference Chair
This year’s AVT includes seven symposia for a total of thirteen Eaton Corporation
sessions in the areas of: vehicle systems dynamics and control;
vehicle tire design and mechanics; vehicle safety and ergonomics;
vehicle systems design; vehicle electrification and powertrain
design; light vehicle design; and military and commercial ground
vehicle design. Lei Zuo
The VDC is specially honored to host Prof. J. Karl Hedrick of the Conference co-Chair
Department of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Virginia Tech
California at Berkeley for the Milliken Lecture, entitled “Recent
Advances in Automotive Active Safety Systems”. We are also
pleased to have Mr. Steve Franz, Senior Director of Advanced
Programs for General Dynamics Land Systems as the keynote
speaker, for a talk entitled “Balanced Combat Vehicle Design Using Beshah Ayalew
Non-Linear Optimization and Multi-Attribute Utility Analysis Program Chair
(MAUA)”.
