Description
Comprehensively covers the fundamentals of vehicle dynamics with application to automotive mechatronics
Presents a number of different design, analysis and implementation considerations related to automobiles, including power requirements, converters, performance, fuel consumption and vehicle dynamic models
Covers the dynamics, modeling and control of not only the entire vehicle system, but also of key elements of the vehicle such as transmissions, and hybrid systems integration
Includes exercise problems and MATLAB (R) codes
Accompanied by a website hosting animations
