Summary on Grant Application Form |
|
It is inevitable that smart vehicles which will have control over their own dynamic behaviour using intelligent electronic systems will become commonplace early in the next century. However there is a rapidly increasing need to establish well-founded design methodologies for automotive control systems based on an understanding of vehicle dynamics and driver behaviour, and to establish protocols for the integration of a range of electronic controllers, from different suppliers, into one product. Thus existing systems such as active stability control, semi-active suspensions, adaptive cruise control and four wheel steer will become features of a single integrated intelligent vehicle control system.The proposed network will bring together expertise from academia and automotive industry to accelerate these developments in the UK. The benefits are substantial: the UK's leadership in this new vehicle technology will have a significant impact on competitiveness and wealth creation. Furthermore, the technology base and skill mix created will allow the UK to be a global player in the development of Automated Highway Systems.
