This book will enable researchers, control engineers and automotive engineers to understand the engine and whole-vehicle models necessary for control. A range of contributors from academic and industrial backgrounds cover subjects from suspension control to Hamiltonian formulation of bond graphs.
From the reviews:
"The book presents an overview of systems and control research issues in the application context of automotive control (AE). ... This book is an excellent up-to-date reference presenting a variety of original applications of system and control theory in automotive control. It presents also new effort to solve theoretical problems arising from problems in AE. ... The book is intended for researchers, practitioners, and advanced postgraduate students working in the areas of control engineering, mechanical engineering and applied mathematics ... ."
