Abstract

Mechatronic systems in motor vehicles often show features which are characteristic for networked control systems. Typically, the sensors, ECUs, and actuators are locally distributed in the vehicle, and sensor data including control signals are transmitted via communication networks. In a joint investigation between Audi AG, “Berufsakademie Ravensburg“ (University of Cooperative Education) and the “Institut für Kraftfahrwesen“ (Automotive Research Institute) at RWTH Aachen University (Germany), different aspects of networked control systems and their applications in car chassis systems are examined.
