Safetronic 2024
Stable Attendance
In 2024, we were able to build on the number of participants from the previous year. Almost 170 participants once again discussed practical aspects of the holistic safety of road vehicles.
The two days of the conference were packed with inspiring presentations, an interactive keynote, a new “Focus Talks” format and plenty of time for networking.
Safetronic 2024 was once again a hybrid conference.
Most of the participants took the opportunity to follow the presentations and to network in person at the Schwabenlandhalle.
Online participants followed the leading safety event for road vehicles via livestream on their computers and also had the opportunity to use virtual coffee breaks for networking.
The focus was on the safety of automated driving systems and AI, standards and legal requirements, safety analyses, the safety of platform software, and practical experience reports. The various industry players, e.g. from Bosch, CARIAD, Daimler Truck, EB, exida, Waymo, Wayvve and ZF, were able to provide participants with news and enrich the discussion with their presentations, both in person and virtually.
Highlights were the two opening keynotes, one from Waymo on their approach to determining safety for automated driving systems and the second from Wayvve on V&V: transitioning from ODD to a behavior-centric approach to safety.
The Safetronic conference is primarily attended by the automotive manufacturing and supplier, electrical/electronics, software development, mechanical engineering and research industries. The participants work in the departments of research & development, design / product development, quality management, software development and technical sales.
Since 2021, the Fraunhofer Institute for Cognitive Systems IKS has taken over the organization of the established industry event from Carl Hanser Verlag. For Prof. Dr. habil. Mario Trapp, Executive Director of Fraunhofer IKS, it is particularly important to ensure “the continuity of Safetronic”. And that in terms of presentation quality and also manufacturer independence.
The next date of the “Safetronic” for 2025 has already been set.
It will take place in Filderhalle Stuttgart | Leinfelden-Echterdingen on November 12 and 13.
