The Second International Workshop on Intelligent Vehicle Control Systems
(IVCS 2008)
 
14 - 15 May, 2008 - Funchal, Madeira - Portugal
 
In conjunction with the 5th International Conference on Informatics in Control, Automation and Robotics - ICINCO 2008

Background and Goals:
In recent years, the growing role of informatics in controls is probably most evident in automotive applications. The increasing complexity of modern automotive systems often calls for computational intelligence approaches, where traditional control methods are infeasible, ineffective or not economical. Furthermore, with the proliferation of drive-by-wire technologies, advances in sensory, navigation, and wireless communication infrastructure, vehicle controls can now take advantage of the information regarding the state of an environment and a driver, implementing functionalities that are commonly referred to as intelligent. The goal of this workshop is to bring together representatives from academia, industry and government agencies to exchange ideas on state of the art intelligent vehicle systems and future trends. We welcome both theoretical and practical papers, from all areas relevant to application of computational intelligence in vehicle controls and implementation of intelligent vehicle functionalities. Specific topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

  • Neural/Fuzzy Controls
  • On-board diagnostics
  • Active safety systems
  • Communication Technologies
  • Navigation and Guidance
  • Vision-based Applications
  • Speech Interface
  • Sensor Fusion
  • Vehicle application of affective computing
  • Remote diagnostics with feedback to manufacturing and product development
  • Examples of commercial implementations of vehicle intelligence
  • Case studies from autonomous vehicle competitions
  • Infrastructure to support intelligent transportation systems
