ISTVS2024, the 21st International and 12th Asia-Pacific Regional Conference of the ISTVS welcomes original and previously unpublished research and review papers describing results of research which are relevant to the conference topics and to terrain-vehicle systems.
Authors wishing to make a submission are requested to submit an abstract by March 15, 2024.
Submission opens on February 15, 2024.
Abstracts are requested to be under 1800 characters and must emphasize the objectives and results.
Authors may choose between the following two types of submissions: full paper and abstract-only.
For either type of submission, authors can choose to do an oral presentation at the conference or submit a poster for the conference poster session.
Abstract review // All abstracts will be reviewed by the conference Scientific Committee. Abstract acceptance will be notified to the corresponding author by March 31, 2024.
Full paper submissions // After abstract acceptance, authors submitting a full paper must make their submission by May 31, 2024. Each full paper will be subject to peer review by reviewers selected by the conference Scientific Committee. Each paper will be either accepted, accepted with revisions or rejected; the decision will be notified by June 30, 2024. If a revision is requested, the revised paper must be submitted by July 31, 2024.
All accepted submissions of either abstract-only or full-paper type will be included in the conference program and will be published in the conference proceedings, on the condition that at least one author attend the conference to present the work. Only full papers will be assigned a DOI and will have a permanent individual page on the conference website; so, if your abstract is accepted, we strongly encourage you to submit a full paper to maximize the visibility of your work.
Key dates are listed here.
The conference includes the following thematic tracks:
soil mechanical characterization
off-road mobility modeling
soil compaction
driving systems of off-road vehicles and machines
innovative concepts of tires, wheels, and tracks

As in previous years, the conference submission platform is EasyChair. If you’ve participated in a recent ISTVS conference, you will be able to log in with your existing account. If you’re new to ISTVS conferences, use the Create an account link on the login page to get started. Access here: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=istvs2024
Make sure that the authors you list in the EasyChair form are the same as in your full paper and/or poster, and in the same order.
Adopt the same consistency also for the authors’ affiliations.
If at any time you need to make changes to the list of authors, please promptly notify the conference organizers.
If the same authors appear in multiple submissions, please write the author names and affiliations in the same way, for all submissions (both in EasyChair and in the papers/posters).
If the latin alphabet is not your native alphabet, please make sure that you use the same transliteration for your name across all submissions (both in EasyChair and in the papers/posters).
If at any time - provided it's compatible with the conference organization schedule - you wish to change your submission type (abstract-only vs full paper) or change your presentation type (oral presentation vs poster session), please promptly notify the conference organizers.
No template is required to submit your abstract. Submission is done directly on the EasyChair submission platform.
Papers must be submitted in Microsoft Word format and must comply with the conference template.
The zip archive provided includes a reference PDF, in case the Word document breaks when opened locally.
The following presentation template in Microsoft PowerPoint format is provided for your convenience.
IMPORTANT: The use of this template is NOT mandatory. If you choose to use your own template please maintain the widescreen layout and include slide numbers. We also recommend choosing a clean and clear layout. Whenever possible, aim for visual consistency throughout your presentation.
