Research Projects
The requirements for passenger cars and commercial vehicles regarding safety, comfort, and environmental performance have continuously increased during the last decades. Examples for this development are various mechatronic control systems such as ABS, ASR, ABC, and ESP. These systems require an exact knowledge of the vehicle state at any time in order to take corrective actions if necessary. Therefore, model-based estimation of the car’s state variables is needed as currently available sensors do not provide sufficient information. Within this context, the imes is developing robust and reliable methods for the identification and control of mechatronic systems in motor vehicles in close cooperation with industrial partners.
