Spark Ignition Engine Modelling and Control System Design

Spark Ignition Engine Modelling and Control System Design

This book presents a step-by-step guide to the engine control system design, providing case studies and a thorough analysis of the modelling process using machine learning and model predictive control (MPC). Covering advanced processes alongside the theoretical foundation, MPC enables engineers to improve performance in both hybrid and non-hybrid vehicles.

Human-Like Decision Making and Control for Autonomous Driving

Human-Like Decision Making and Control for Autonomous Driving

This book details cutting-edge research into human-like driving technology, utilising game theory to better suit a human and machine hybrid driving environment. Covering feature identification and modelling of human driving behaviours, the book explains how to design an algorithm for decision making and control of autonomous vehicles in complex scenarios.

Control Applications of Vehicle Dynamics

Control Applications of Vehicle Dynamics

Presenting a clear overview of fundamental vehicle dynamics and vehicle system mathematical models, the book covers linear and non-linear design of model-based controls such as wheel slip control, vehicle speed control, path following control, vehicle stability and rollover control, stabilization of vehicle-trailer system. Specific applications to autonomous vehicles are described among the methods.
