Motivation of Initiating AVEC
The story started when Furukawa and Nagai was discussing in Lake Como after FISITA congress in Torino, Italy in 1990.
FISITA: Industry-oriented Automotive Engineering congress. Most of delegates come from industry all over the world. But, deep discussions in technical issues are not satisfying.
IAVSD: Applied Mechanics. Theoretical and Analytical discussions. Most of delegates are big-name/famous professors in academic institutes. Vehicle dynamics on road and rail are the main focus area.
We both agree to organize an international symposium which breaks down the barrier of both world and can bring people from industry and academic institutes together (ideal : 50/50 ) to frankly talk and discuss about researches on advanced vehicle control, in BOTTOM-UP approach.
Proposal to Society of Automotive Engineers of Japan
We proposed to JSAE that we want to provide the opportunity for engineers and researchers in the field to communicate and exchange ideas about state-of-the-art development of vehicle dynamics with advanced control and electronic systems.
AVEC is Made-in-Japan International Symposium!
AVEC stands for Advanced Vehicle Control. It is also a preposition in French, which means “with ….”, “together with …”.
At that time, Nagai was the chair of technical committee of chassis control in JSAE.
1980-1990 Era of active control of vehicles, Active Suspension, 4WS, 4WD, Handling and Stability Control are the hot topics at that time.
General Chair of the 1st symposium is Prof. Masakazu Iguchi, JSAE Vice president at that time.
