ITFVHA explained

What is ITFVHA?

Founder Richard Bishop created ITFVHA “back in the day” as government sponsored automated driving projects were gaining momentum. After 25 meetings, the torch was passed on to Tom Alkim. The meeting has become an annual opportunity to collaborate and share perspectives across the diverse players in this thriving space.

The purpose of this invitation-only meeting is to provide a forum for information exchange and discussion among researchers, government officials, and the private sector regarding ongoing programs to develop and deploy automated driving. The task force uniquely takes a “big picture” approach, knowing that technical symposia regularly address the technological underpinnings of such systems, and examines ways in which the government authorities, the infrastructure, and the vehicle industry can collaborate/cooperate to most effectively offer these services to society.

Previous meeting

With about 50 participants from all over the world, the 27th ITFVHA meeting in Dubai was a successful event. It was the first time that the meeting took place outside of the EU, US or Asia-Pacific, so we are becoming more global. In conjunction with the ITS World Conference taking place in Dubai, we were graciously hosted by Expo City Dubai. We couldn’t have done it without the local support of Andy Palanisamy from Obsession. It was an inspiring day of information exchange and discussion among researchers, government officials, and the private sector regarding ongoing programs to develop and deploy automated mobility around the world.

Thanks go out to our sponsors Expo City Dubai and Intertraffic. With their generous contributions we could organize this meeting without registration fee and have the traditional group dinner where discussions continued and the ITFVHA community grows closer each edition.
