ISAL 2017
The International Symposium on Automotive Lighting is the largest international conference for the automotive lighting community with a successful and rich history in Darmstadt.
The current research and development topics represented at the ISAL focus on high resolution adaptive and laser -based high beam to improve the visibility distance and general driving comfort for front lighting. Further research topics include adaptive rear lights to minimize discomfort and maximize road safety for following cars. In the meantime, new challenges for the automotive lighting community arise in form of energy efficient lighting for purely electric vehicles and lighting design and functions for autonomous driving. ISAL 2017 will surely encourage the exchange between lighting engineers, road safety experts and regulative bodies. They will have the opportunity to present the most recent results of research and development to continue the established traditions of this conference to be able to promote a bright future for automotive lighting.
In 1995 the first symposium took place in the “Kekulé” lecture room at the TU Darmstadt. Since then, more than two decades have elapsed and the location of the event has been changed to the representative and new congress centre “darmstadtium”. After having received over 800 experts at ISAL 2015, it would be a great pleasure to welcome international designers, engineers, scientists and decision makers in automotive lighting industry at the 12th ISAL in 2017.
