Lecture-No.:

L.104.52230 (V2)

L.104.52430 (Ü1)

Type of course:

Lecture (2 SWS), Exercise (1 SWS)

Schedule:

The event takes place in the summer term.

Current schedule of events will be announced in Paul.

Target group:

Students of mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, technomathematics, industrial computer sciences, computer sciences, Master.

Requirements / foundation:

Control Engineering

Content:

Overview over mechatronic vehicle systems:

• Actual and future systems, trends

Models for vehicle dynamics

• Tire, lateral and vertical dynamics, sability, over- and understeering

Active systems for vehicle dynamics control

• ESP: function and sysem overview, control principles, hydraulic unit, sensors, safety and monitoring concept
• active steering systems: hydraulic and electric power steering, active front steering, steer-by-wire-systems
• active suspension systems (vertical dynamics): spring and damper systems, stabilisators, Active Body Control (ABC)
• integrated vehicle dynamics control: coordination of active brake, steering and suspension systems

Application example: Controller design for active stabilisation of a car-trailer combination

Objectives:

Knowledge of vehicle dynamics (longitudinal, lateral and vertical dynamics), knowledge of important mechatronic control systems for vehicle dynamics and chassis control (system overview, components, functions).
