Development and assessment of the cooperation between drive line and stability control

This article presents the outcomes of the virtual prototyping in advanced phase to develop and validates the introduction of dynamics control into a conventional passenger car. Thus after having presented the basic vehicle model, the additional components and the different strategies like ABS, TCS and ESP are emphasized. Drawbacks of multiple actuators are the difficulties to manage the variants in the vehicle and its control for the assistant systems that have to deliver the appropriate commands. Therefore a vehicle longitudinal controller will be presented at the end of this article.
