Description

Content
The course will discuss the control algorithms and the underlying physical models of various vehicle control systems.  For the course a selection will be made of the Vehicle dynamics control systems mentioned below              

• Vertical dynamics: continuous controller dampers (CCD), active body control, active roll control
• Longitudinal dynamics: Anti-lock Brake System (ABS), Traction Control System (TCS), All Wheel Drive (AWD) and Torque Vectoring during braking and traction
• Lateral dynamics and yaw control: Electronic Stability Control
• Driver assistance control systems:
• Longitudinal control: Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC), Cooperative-ACC
• Lateral control: Lane Keeping

The course will briefly discuss sensors, estimators, communication, actuators and target values for these controls. Exercises with control design using Matlab/Simulink.
