Integration of chassis control system networking into the vehicle dynamics development process

Abstract

Due to advanced hardware capabilities, the need to improve driving safety, performance and economic motivation, modern passenger cars feature a lot of chassis control systems. These enable engineers to adapt the vehicle specification to each respective driving situation. That means that also trade-offs, for example between performance and comfort, can be resolved. The inevitably increased possibilities in parameterization bring more complexity in the development process. High complexity amplified by shortening product life cycles and model derivatives create the necessity of efficient vehicle dynamics development, methods, processes and tools.
