Lateral Vehicle Dynamics.- Steering Control for Automated Lane Keeping.- Longitudinal Vehicle Dynamics.- to Longitudinal Control.- Adaptive Cruise Control.- Longitudinal Control for Vehicle Playtoons.- Electronic Stability Control.- Mean Value Modeling of SI and Diesel Engines.- Design and Analysis of Passive Automotive Suspensions.- Active Automotive Suspensions.- Semi-Active Suspensions.- Lateral and Longitudinal Tire Forces.- Tire-Road Friction Measurement on Highway Vehicles.
This is the first ever book that provides a comprehensive coverage of automotive control systems. The presentation of dynamic models in the text is also unique. The dynamic models are tractable while retaining the level of richness that is necessary for control system design. Much of the mateiral in the book is not available in any other text.
