Abstract
Engineers and researchers in the automotive industry encounter numerous hybrid control problems on a daily basis, some stem from hardware design or the hybrid nature of physical processes, others result from the implementation of logic based controllers. In this paper, we present several standard automotive control problems from the hybrid system perspective, and discuss the industrial needs in terms of analytical methods and tools to address them. We hope to stimulate interest in hybrid systems by describing some concrete examples in automotive control applications, and communicate the lack of practical engineering tools particularly suitable for representing and designing hybrid systems.
