The International Symposium on Dynamics of Vehicles on Roads and Tracks is the 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.
We will be present at the event with two technical papers, one dedicated to automotive ADAS technologies and one dedicated to rail wear.
We are happy to invite you to the 2017 edition of our International Users Conference!
The event, dedicated to executive managers and experienced engineers belonging to the main automotive, motorsports, motorcycle and rail companies, universities and research centers from all over the world, will be held on May 10th-11th, 2017 at the Museo dell'Automobile - one of the most important and oldest automobile museums in the world – located in Corso Unità d'Italia 40, Turin, Italy.
The event, characterized by the motto “Bridging the gap between testing and simulation”, is organized with the collaboration of 1 platinum sponsor (Saginomiya), 4 golden sponsors (Cosin, Danisi Engineering, MSC Software and Sim.Co.VR), 9 silver sponsors (3D Mapping, Barco, Bruel & Kjaer, Concurrent Real-Time, Esteco, FEV, MIRA, Multimatic and OKTAL) and 3 bronze sponsors (AddFor, BE CAE & Test and MegaRide).
The conference offers to executive managers and users from all over the world a very comprehensive 2-day program with 40 keynote and technical papers divided in discipline-specific sessions moderated by industry experts and also features a round-table discussion related to new and emerging automotive technologies. The event will also feature an interesting technical showcase area in which VI-grade and its partners will present their solutions.
On May 9th, 2017 from 4pm to 8pm you are also cordially invited to join the Ice Breaker event hosted in the brand new Advanced Vehicle Dynamics Center at the Danisi Engineering premises in Nichelino (Turin) - located very close to the conference venue. The event will provide the opportunity to discover the whole range of driving and steering simulation solutions (from vehicle dynamics to NVH, from ride to ADAS) offered by VI-grade, Danisi Engineering and partners.
Confirmed speakers for the conference are: Alfa Romeo, Danisi Engineering, Ferrari, FEV, Fraunhofer ITWM, Honda, HPE, Lamborghini, Magneti Marelli Motorsport, MegaRide, Michelin, Multimatic, Piaggio, Politecnico di Torino, Porsche, University of Sao Paulo, Virtual Vehicle Research Institute, Volvo, Wuerzburg Institute for Traffic Sciences, ZF TRW (automotive); D2S, Railway Transport Cluster, University of Huddersfield, University of Twente (railway).

Virtual Formula 2017 is built upon the rules and regulations of the popular Formula SAE and Formula Student. The competition will be based on the usage of VI-Motorsport, VI-grade’s interactive simulation environment for motorsport vehicle modeling and dynamic analysis. All registered teams will be granted access to a complete state-of-the-art racing simulation software to find the best set-up for their car.
The participating teams will be challenged to optimize the performance of a virtual race car, minimizing the lap time on a given autocross track, an acceleration event, the Skidpad, as well as possibily reducing the ecologic footprint of the model. In line with the recent growth of Formula Student teams adopting electric racecars, and more generically with the ongoing trends in the automotive industry, the 2017 edition of the Virtual Formula will be focused on the optimization of an electrically-driven vehicle model.
The competition will be won by the team that will have the most overall points in the different events. Receivable points for each event are adjusted to the regulations of the Formula SAE.
The team results will be evaluated by a technical committee formed by vehicle dynamicists from VI-grade. The winning team will be awarded with a complete software package including multiple user access to the VI-Motorsport technology and will be hosted for a 1-day session at VI-grade’s SimCenter in Udine, Italy to attend a driving simulation session during which engineers from Lamborghini Squadra Corse - partner of the initiative - will use VI-grade’s DiM – Driver-in-Motion technology for their vehicle development activities.
Additionally, all teams submitting results will be included in a presentation brochure that will be distributed by the organizing committee to a selected database of leading automotive companies and Tier1 suppliers!
Good luck with the 2017 edition of the Virtual Formula!
