The program for SIA VISION 2024 has just been published on the SIA website. The call for papers this year was a great success, with 99 papers received—69 for lighting, and 30 for ADAS—from 46 different companies.
The Scientific Committee gathered on 13 March and selected 54 papers. For the first time this year, we have defined some common sessions and some parallel sessions.
Day one will start with a keynote from Gilles Vidal, Renault’s Design VP, and then a main session about VRU (Vulnerable Road Users) and sensor integration.
After a break will come two parallel sessions: one dedicated to lighting and design, and the other to simulation in ADAS.
Lunchtime will be mainly used for networking and visiting the exhibition; 30 companies have already confirmed a booth.
After lunch, we will continue the parallel sessions: one dedicated to lighting and design, and the other to lighting regulation and safety.
Then comes another break, after which the lighting session will continue, focusing on regulation and safety, while ADAS presentations will focus on validation.
To close the day, the session tracks will converge, and all attendees will be together in the main session for a regulation and rating session, starting with a keynote from EuroNCAP Technical Manager Adriano Palao, then a presentation from Mercedes-Benz about ADS marker lights, an update on regulation status from GRVA and GRE, and a panel discussion.
After that, day one of the congress will close with dinner and the demo-car session in the parking area to be able to see and test the latest lighting and ADAS technologies.
Day 2 will start with a focus on ADAS and two keynote speakers: Mercedes-Benz VP Martin Hart, and Mobileye EVP Nimrod Nehushtan. Then comes a combined session, “Lighting for ADAS and ADAS for Lighting” which represent perfectly the intent of the VISION congress: bringing together companies and universities working in both technical fields.
After a break, the parallel sessions will be back; one with focus on lighting and technology, and the other on ADAS and sensors.
After lunch, the lighting track will continue to focus on technology, while the ADAS presentations will focus on systems.
To close the day, the ADAS track will focus on regulations and safety, while the lighting session will be focused on sustainability with lectures about circular economy and reliability.
I hope you will enjoy the new format of the event, with a better balance between lighting and ADAS.
We are expecting more than 600 participants on 16 and 17 October in Paris, France.
