About Forum IASF-2017

The first International Automobile Scientific Forum (IASF) took place in 2003. Over the recent years 8 scientific forums devoted to the following issues were held:

• Environmentally friendly transport.
• Energy saving and energy efficiency of vehicles and transport systems.
• Active and passive safety of the new generation vehicles ensuring compliance with the prospective requirements.
• E-transport and hybrid vehicles (vehicles with combined power plants).
• National R&D base development.
• Intelligent Transport Systems for Improvement of Energy Efficiency and Traffic Safety.

The average value of attendance of the scientific forums is more than 200 participants.

The forums' participating countries are as follows: Austria, Belgium, Belarus, Great Britain, Germany, The Netherlands, Israel, India, Spain, China, Russia, USA, France, Finland, Sweden, South Korea and others.

Among the participating organizations of the forums there are leading Russian and foreign automobile manufacturers and scientific & production associations: OJSC "AVTOVAZ", GAZ Group LLC, KAMAZ PTC, SOLLERS, BMW, VOLVO CARS, TOYOTA, AVL List GmbH, BOSCH, WABCO, Federal State Unitary Enterprise “Central Scientific Research Automobile and Automotive Engines Institute” (FSUE “NAMI”), Mechanical Engineering Research Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences (IMASH RAN) , Joint Institute for High Temperatures of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Joint Institute of Mechanical Engineering of the National Academy of Sciences of Belarus, Association of Russian Automakers (OAR), Association of Automotive Engineers (AAE) of Russia and others.

Among the participants of the forums there are leading technical universities of Russia: Bauman Moscow State Technical University, Moscow Automobile and Road Construction State Technical University (MADI), Moscow Polytechnic University, South Ural State University (National Research University), Irkutsk National Research Technical University, Kalashnikov Izhevsk State Technical University and others.

The main scientific and technical trends, proposed for discussion at the forum:

• tendencies and trends in development of autonomous (pilotless) transport;
• new generation driver assistance systems (ADAS);
• systems of communication of vehicles, infrastructure and people;
• artificial vision and navigation systems of autonomous vehicles;
• systems for simulation of traffic situations and vehicle motion;
• tests and certification of autonomous vehicles;
• development of regulatory and legal base of autonomous traffic;
• cybersecurity of autonomous driving systems;
• social and economic problems of implementation of autonomous vehicles.

The forum working results will be as follows:

• discussion and analysis of modern tendencies (trends) of development of intelligent transport systems;
• discussion and analysis of new (innovative) technical and technological solutions for development, production and application of intelligent transport systems;
• discussion and analysis of development of regulatory and legal base in the field of intelligent transport systems;
• discussion and analysis of testing procedures, testing equipment and results of testing of autonomous vehicles;
• integrated assessment of practical feasibility and risks connected with application of intelligent transport systems.

The forum works will be published by the activity organizer, Federal State Unitary Enterprise “Central Scientific Research Automobile and Automotive Engines Institute” (FSUE “NAMI”) - "IASF-2017 Works".

Besides, selected reports of the forum will be published in the following magazines: "Trudy NAMI", "Automotive Industry", "Zurnal AAI".
