Automotive Systems Engineering: A Personal Perspective

  • Chapter
  • First Online:

Abstract

The complexity of modern vehicles requires new methods for vehicle development. Based on two decades of experience in automotive R&D the author motivates to take more benefits from systems engineering. Advantages are expected in three areas: objective evaluation of capabilities, mastering complexity and functional safety. To handle the growing complexity different kinds of system architectures and innovative development processes are introduced. New methods and tools have been developed to test and simulate complex systems in the design phase. Examples are taken from research and development of driver assistance systems and autonomous vehicles.

Notes

  1. 1.

    In this article systems are called driver assistance systems if they recognize their environment and the current situation with machine perception in order to support the driver appropriately in his driving task (Maurer 2012a, b).

  2. 2.

    Up to now we haven’t found an established English translation for the German “Eigenschaftsentwickler”. The direct translation “property developer” has an established different meaning. Therefore we use the term “property engineer” in this text.
