Integrated Vehicle Dynamics Control - Opening up New Dimensions

The ongoing and strong transition to electrified powertrain systems and by-wire technology gives rise to new potentials for the control of vehicle dynamics and at the same time imposes new requirements to the control system. Thus, modern vehicle dynamics control systems need to be capable of managing cross-domain actuator control, keeping system complexity low, creating synergies, and unlocking the full potential of each single actuator in any driving situation. Further, the ongoing trend to more centralized and zone-oriented vehicle E/E architectures is another major technological challenge in developing a future-proof vehicle dynamics control system.
