IEEE International Conference on Vehicular Electronics and Safety (ICVES) 2024 is the 18th edition of IEEE ICVES conference and is coming to India in 2024; after 10 years. IEEE ICVES 2024 conference focuses on different sensing, communication and computational technologies for making roads safer to drive and having intelligent systems to understand the road environment and making driving seamless. The theme of this year’s conference is “Towards Autonomous Driving”. This conference would have several tracks that include vehicular communication, technologies such as Computer Vision (CV), Data Analytics, AI&ML, reinforcement learning, etc. Importantly, the conference would also address different applications such as 2-wheeler, 3-wheeler and 4-wheeler autonomous driving, drones and autonomous underwater vehicles. It should be noted that there are innumerable challenges in being even close to autonomous driving in most developing countries, Asia, Africa, south America, etc. The 18th IEEE ICVES aims to provide the right platform to look at these challenges, discuss the potential short-term and long-term solutions and bring in close collaboration with industry and academia. The conference is planned to be in 2nd half of December to target all researchers across the globe to meet industries before the annual X-mas vacation. Also, the conference aims to bring in expats and Indian-origin researchers across the globe to Ahmedabad, one of the most vibrant and fastest growing states of the country.
The 2024 IEEE International Conference on Vehicular Electronics and Safety (ICVES’2024) is an annual forum supported by the IEEE Intelligent Transportation Systems Society (ITSS). It brings together researchers and practitioners to discuss vehicle electronics and research and application aspects of safety systems. Accordingly, we invite researchers interested in topics related to ICVES to send us their research ideas and original work on solutions that make our lives better, considering the safety aspects of vehicles.
The conference is set to unfold in the heart of Ahmedabad, India, a UNESCO World Heritage City renowned for its rich cultural heritage, vibrant culinary scene, and the birthplace of Mahatma Gandhi.

The Sidi Saiyyed Mosque, known for its exquisite and intricately carved stone latticework windows (jali), is a prime example of Islamic architecture. The famous 'tree of life' motif carved into the jali is a must-see. Another architectural marvel is the Adalaj Stepwell, built in the 15th century. This stepwell showcases a beautiful fusion of Indo-Islamic architecture with intricate carvings on its pillars and a natural cooling system that keeps the water six degrees cooler than the prevalent temperature. The city's heritage precincts of Pols and traditional clusters from the medieval period offer a glimpse into Ahmedabad’s historical narrative, making it a haven for history enthusiasts.
