The 10th biennial SIA VISION Congress, postponed by the pandemic from its intended Autumn 2020 time has been rescheduled for 17-18 March, just over a month from now, as a fully online event. There’s a sparkling docket full of presentations from VIPs in the fields of lighting and ADAS who will present 35 lectures.
There’ll be a first keynote and Headlamp Technologies session on the first day, and a second keynote and Lighting Communication session on the second day. Other sessions on lighting and ADAS will be separated in two parts as well.
The congress will start off with the usual welcome and presentation of the congress, then Valeo’s COO and future CEO Christophe Perillat will make the first keynote, presenting his vision on lighting and ADAS.
The second keynote will be made by Stephane Buffat, Director of PSA-Renault’s Laboratory of Accidentology, Biomechanics and Human Behaviour.
The online setting has allowed for an increase in the Q&A sessions to half an hour and optimal discussion panel balance among automakers and suppliers as they kick around ideas about challenges, benefits, and drawbacks of in-lamp sensor integration.
• 6 sessions in lighting: Headlamp technologies, ADB technologies, lighting communication, signal lamp technologies, styling and safety, and rating systems—this lattermost session will be extended with a discussion on this important subject of headlamp rating. The selected speakers for these sessions are from Audi, BMW, Honda, PSA, Renault, and SEAT; Hella, Hyundai Mobis, Koito, Marelli Automotive Lighting, Odelo, Stanley, Valeo, Varroc, and ZKW; Lumileds and Osram, and ELS, LRC, and TUD.
