Vehicle Dynamics and Control

This book presents dynamic models and control systems useful for a large number of vehicle applications. Dynamic models are developed from first principles. Dynamic models with different levels of detail are presented for each application, with the limitations of each model clearly explained. The book presents in-depth coverage of vehicle control systems and applications including cruise control, ABS, adaptive cruise control, automated lane keeping, automated highway systems, engine control, passive, active and semi-active suspensions, tire models and tire-road friction estimation.
