Workshop of the 23rd IFAC World Congress : Modeling, estimation, and control of vehicle and tire dynamics: new trends in the design of advanced driver assistance systems

Modeling, estimation, and control of vehicle and tire dynamics: new trends in the design of advanced driver assistance systems
  • Date: August 22nd, 2026 (full day)
  • Location: Busan, Republic of Korea

Organizers

  • John J. Martinez Molina, Prof. at Grenoble INP - Univ. Grenoble Alpes, GIPSA-lab, Campus Grenoble, France
  • Jérémy Vayssettes, Technical director of Michelin's tire digital twin development program. Michelin, France
  • Guillaume Mercère, Prof. at University of Poitiers, LIAS Laboratory, Poitiers, France

About the Workshop

This full-day workshop targets taking participants from introductory concepts to recent research frontiers in vehicle control, tire-road interaction modeling, and new trends in Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) and autonomous driving systems. These topics are particularly challenging because they require combining available vehicle data, dynamical models, and real-time estimations for performing vehicle feedback control loops, while preserving safety & reliability, performance, and acceptability of maneuvers. The workshop will include presentation and discussion of data-driven modeling and estimation techniques, as well as recent experimental results, both from academic and industrial initiatives.

Keywords

Vehicle dynamics, tire dynamics, automotive control, ADAS, autonomous driving cars, vehicle simulation, real-time estimation.

A registration for this workshop is required via the IFAC World Congress webpage: https://www.ifac2026.org/fairDash.do?hl=ENG

Target Audience

The workshop is open to all IFAC attendees, including academic researchers, industrial practitioners, Ph.D. students, and system engineers working in the automotive control domain.
