This book integrates essential knowledge of car vehicle dynamics and control theory with NI LabVIEW software product application, resulting in a practical yet highly technical guide for designing advanced vehicle dynamics controllers. Presenting a clear overview of fundamental vehicle dynamics and vehicle system mathematical models, the book covers the design of model based classical PID, adaptive, quadratic optimal and inverse dynamics-based controllers of linear and non-linear systems. It details Kalman-Bucy filtering, and its practical applications, alongside the basic kinematics and dynamics of a vehicle in planar motion, deriving equations of wheel dynamics and tire forces in forms appropriate for control design. The book also discusses lateral vehicle dynamics and vehicle vertical dynamics, high level controllers and vehicle sensor signal estimation, alongside a clear explanation of basic control principles for regenerative braking in both electric and hybrid vehicles, and torque vectoring systems. LabVIEW fundamentals are provided and used to design and implement controller examples in the book. The book will be of interest to engineering students, automotive engineering students and automotive engineers and researchers.

"This book presents essential knowledge of car vehicle dynamics and control theory with NI LabVIEW software product application, resulting in a practical yet highly technical guide for designing advanced vehicle dynamics and vehicle system controllers. Presenting a clear overview of fundamental vehicle dynamics and vehicle system mathematical models, the book covers linear and non-linear design of model based controls such as wheel slip control, vehicle speed control, path following control, vehicle stability and rollover control, stabilization of vehicle-trailer system. Specific applications to autonomous vehicles are described among the methods. It details the practical applications of Kalman-Bucy filtering and the observer design for sensor signal estimation, alongside lateral vehicle dynamics and vehicle rollover dynamics. The book also discusses high level controllers, alongside a clear explanation of basic control principles for regenerative braking in both electric and hybrid vehicles, and wheel torque vectoring systems. Concrete LabVIEW simulation examples of how the models and controls are used in representative applications, along with software algorithms and LabVIEW block diagrams are illustrated. It will be of interest to engineering students, automotive engineering students and automotive engineers and researchers."-- Back cover
