The book includes contributions on the latest model-based methods for the development of
personal and commercial vehicle control devices. The main topics treated are: application of
simulation and model design to development of driver assistance systems physical and database
model design for engines motors powertrain undercarriage and the whole vehicle new
simulation tools methods and optimization processes applications of simulation in function
and software development function and software testing using HiL MiL and SiL simulation
application of simulation and optimization in application of control devices automation
approaches at all stages of the development process.
