Preface

As a research advisor to graduate students working on automotive projects, I have frequently felt the need for a textbook that summarizes common vehicle control systems and the dynamic models used in the development of these control systems. While a few different textbooks on ground vehicle dynamics are already available in the market, they do not satisfy all the needs of a control systems engineer. A controls engineer needs models that are both simple enough to use for control system design but at the same time rich enough to capture all the essential features of the dynamics. This book attempts to present such models and actual automotive control systems from lit
