Mission
The IEEE Control Systems Society encourages the formation of Technical
Committees in order to focus activities around a given technical area. These
committees provide the meeting point for organization of technical meetings,
workshops, invited sessions at major conferences, web sites for technical
resources, and electronic newsletters.
The scope of interest of the Technical Committee on Automotive Control covers
modeling, simulation, identification, estimation, control and diagnostics of present
and future automotive systems. The Technical Committee has been in existence
since 1999 and has approximately 50 active members, with many other
researchers in the field benefiting from its activities.
Benefiting from both academic and significant industrial participation, the
committee coordinates activities towards improving understanding of challenges,
problems and effective methods of controlling automotive systems. The
Technical committee is not planning, at the present time, to cover the area of
Intelligent Highway Transportation Systems.
Major conferences at which the IEEE TCAC organizes invited technical sessions
include the American Control Conference and the IEEE Multi-Conference on
Decision and Control. Other activities of the committee include organization of
the bi-annual “Workshop on Challenges and Open Problems in Automotive
Control” and organization of special issues on automotive control in IEEE
journals.
The IEEE Technical Committee on Automotive Control regularly and
synergistically collaborates with similar organizations of ASME, SAE and IFAC,
specifically, with the ASME Automotive and Transportation Systems Technical
Committee, the IFAC Technical Committee on Automotive Control and the SAE
Automotive Controls Committee.
