Bernhard Brandstatter – författare

In this book, the authors highlight multiple aspects of and views on comprehensive automotive interior comfort for future mobility. In this context, passenger comfort comprises thermal, acoustic, seat perception, as well as human–machine interaction in the passenger cabin. 

In five chapters, the contributing authors, hailing from universities, research centers and industry, share their expertise and insights. They take a closer look at future interior concepts from the standpoints of fundamental and applied research, as well as practical aspects. 

This book provides insights into current research topics of powertrains for the next generation of electric vehicles as well as related vehicle components (e-axles, transmissions, brake systems, etc.). Further, as the interaction with the charging infrastructure becomes more and more important, also the topic charging is discussed in detail. Finally, communication and control not just within the vehicles but also with the infrastructure are needed and are treated in this book.
