2008 IEEE Intelligent Vehicles Symposium

June 4-6, 2008, Eindhoven, the Netherlands

Don't miss it! The 2008 IEEE Intelligent Vehicles Symposium (IV’08) is an annual forum sponsored by the IEEE Intelligent Transport Systems Society. It will take place in Eindhoven, the Netherlands during June 4-6, 2008. Eindhoven provides a splendid conference location. The conference site at the Eindhoven University of Technology, hotels and demonstration sites are all in walking distance, right in the City centre, next to the railway station and the Phileas semi-automated bus system to the airport. Welcome to Eindhoven!

The Intelligent Vehicles Conference gathers researchers from industry, universities and public authorities to discuss research and applications for intelligent vehicles, including the communication between vehicles and between vehicles and infrastructure.

The technical sessions of the symposium consist of plenary presentations, including keynote presentations by Dr Carlo van de Weijer (TomTom), Dr Hans-Georg Metzler (Daimler) and Dr Steven Shladover (PATH/UC Berkeley) and interactive poster sessions. A record number of 300 contributions was received of which 200 were selected for presentation.

On June 6, the road next to the conference venue will be closed for normal traffic in order to provide a perfect site for demonstrations of intelligent vehicles. Already more than 20 demonstrations have been confirmed amongst which four participants to the famous DARPA Urban Challenge.

On June 3, meetings and workshops in conjunction to the conference will be held.

All activities, sessions as well as the demonstrations are at the campus of the Eindhoven University of Technology. Eindhoven (and its region) is known as key area of the Dutch High Tech Industry, including the Dutch automotive industry that consists of over 200 companies. A range of Dutch automotive companies belong to the world top ranking companies. In the weekend following IV'08 the city will be bustling with automotive activities during an ‘Automotive Weekend’ with vintage cars, future technology, city races etc. Come to IV'08 and enjoy your weekend in Eindhoven!

The registration site is open. Given the record number of paper submissions and demonstrations, we are expecting a large number of participants. Because the symposium room has limited capacity, registrations will be accepted on a first-come first-served basis.
