The International Symposium on Dynamics of Vehicles on Roads and Tracks is a top-level conference in the field of international vehicle dynamics and its participants are mainly high-level scholars in railway and road vehicle dynamics. The conference features low acceptance rate of papers, generally less than a quarter, so that only a small number of papers will be recommended for publication in the top journal Vehicle System Dynamics.

The Japan-China Conference on Shield-Driven Tunneling was initiated by academician Wang Mengshu from Chinese Academy of Engineering and Professor Atsushi Koizumi from Japan and jointly initiated by scholars and technical workers engaged in shield-driven tunneling from such units as Southwest Jiaotong University, Tongji University, Beijing Jiaotong University, Hohai University and Waseda University. The conference has received the support of relevant Chinese and Japanese societies and the response of many technicians of shield-driven tunneling. It has been staged for eight sessions in Beijing, Shanghai, Tokyo, Guangzhou, Chengdu, Niigata, Xi’an and Nanjing. At every session of the conference, Chinese and Japanese representatives conduct extensive and in-depth exchanges, which play a positive role in promoting the joint progress of shield-driven tunneling academic research and engineering technology in China and Japan.
