Posted by Chris Winkler of UMTRI: We want to let you know about a once-per-year opportunity to meet with and learn from experts who can answer your questions about vehicle dynamics based on years of research and practical application. Dynamics of Heavy Duty Trucks, a professional development program, is being offered in Ann Arbor on May 18-21 by the University of Michigan Division of Integrative Systems + Design. In four days, U-M and industry experts will cover critical topics ranging from fundamentals to the latest research and technology. Take a look at this short video to learn more. Information-packed lectures combined with hands-on simulations, case studies, and real world examples will keep you engaged. You'll leave with a deeper understanding of how to diagnose and solve problems. New for 2015 Heavy-Duty Truck participants will receive a free 60-day trial of TruckSIMR, a software tool for simulating and analyzing the dynamic behavior of medium to heavy trucks, buses, and articulated vehicles. You will have ample opportunity to explore the software before, during, and after the course. More information is available on the Heavy Duty Trucks program web page at isd.engin.umich.edu/heavytrucks . You can also send us questions at [log in to unmask] <mailto:[log in to unmask]> This program is very close to our hearts. We have a lot of knowledge to share and we welcome your questions. We look forward to seeing you in Ann Arbor! Best Wishes, The Instructor Team Thomas D.
