Vehicle Dynamics and Control 2011, 5 April

A one-day seminar to explore recent developments in the design and analysis of vehicle dynamic behaviour was held at Fitzwilliam College, Cambridge University on Tuesday 5 April 2011. 120 delegates from the UK and Europe (and one from USA) heard thirteen presentations on driver behaviour and modelling, chassis dynamics and control, and dynamics of low carbon vehicles. The seminar will be held again in April 2013. (Photos by Tim Johns)
