The motor vehicle technology covered in this book has become in the more than 125 years of its history in many aspects an extremely complex and, in many areas of engineering science .Motor vehicles must remain functional under harsh environmental conditions and extreme continuous loads and must also be reliably brought into a safe state even in the event of a failure by a few trained operators.The automobile is at the same time a mass product, which must be produced in millions of pieces and at extremely low cost. In addition to the fundamentals of current vehicle systems, the book also provides an overview of future developments such as, for example, in the areas of electromobility, alternative drives and driver assistance systems. The basis for the book is a series of lectures on automotive engineering, which has been offered by the first-named author at the University of Duisburg-Essen for many years. Starting from classical systems in the automobile, the reader is given a systemic view of modern motor vehicles. In addition to the pure basic function, the modeling of individual (sub-) systems is also discussed. This gives the reader a deep understanding of the underlying principles. In addition, the book with the given models provides a basis for the practical application in the area of ​​simulation technology and thus achieves a clear added value against books, which merely explain the function of a system without entering into the modeling.On the basis of today's vehicle systems we will continue to look at current and future systems. In addition to the state-of-the-art, the reader is thus taught which topics are currently dominant in research and which developments can be expected for the future. In particular, a large number of practical examples are provided directly from the vehicle industry. Especially for students of vehicle-oriented study courses and lectures, the book thus enables an optimal preparation for possible future fields of activity.

​Der Paradigmenwechsel von verbrennungsmotorischen zu (teil-)elektrifizierten Antrieben bei Pkw wird über 2025 hinaus zu einer großen Diversität der Antriebskonzepte führen. Diese Vielfalt wird von verbrennungsmotorischen Antrieben auf Basis fossiler und synthetischer Kraftstoffe über Hybridantriebe bis hin zu elektrischen Antrieben reichen. Die technische und wirtschaftliche Beherrschung dieser Vielfalt ist die Herausforderung für Fahrzeughersteller und Zulieferer in den kommenden Jahrzehnten. Andererseits eröffnet diese Entwicklung Industrie und Gesellschaft hinsichtlich der Wertschöpfungs- und Arbeitsplatzpotenziale, z.B. durch neue Vermarktungskonzepte, völlig neue Möglichkeiten. Allerdings erfordert sie auch Überzeugungsarbeit, um der neuen Technik mit ihren Potentialen zum Durchbruch zu verhelfen.

Das Ergebnis der Zusammenarbeit vonBetriebswirten, Psychologen, Designern, Stadtplanern und Ingenieuren ist der Designentwurf eines NRWCars 2030, das in einem Teststudio („Car Clinic“) mit möglichen Zielkunden der Elektromobilität getestet wurde.

Menschen in hoch entwickelten Ländern werden immer älter. Sie möchten im Alter mobil sein, haben jedoch oftmals Probleme im Straßenverkehr. Auch wenn sie häufig für altersgerechte Produkte, die die Sicherheit erhöhen, einen Aufpreis bezahlen, ist die Nachfrage nach Fahrerassistenzsystemen bei älteren Autofahrern bislang gering.Das Buch fasst Ergebnisse des Projektes ALFASY (ALtersgerechte FAhrerassistenzSYsteme) zusammen, in dem ein akustisches Fahrerassistenzsystem für die Bedürfnisse der stetig wachsenden Gruppe der älteren Fahrerinnen und Fahrer (50 Jahre und älter) entwickelt und aufgebaut wird. Untersucht wurden technische, psychologische und betriebswirtschaftliche Aspekte.

Technical, psychological and economic aspects were investigated.

People in highly developed countries are getting older and older. They want to be mobile in old age, but often have problems in road traffic. Even though they often pay a premium for age-appropriate products that increase safety, the demand for driver assistance systems among older drivers has so far been low.This book summarises the results of the ALFASY (ALtersgerechte FAhrerassistenzSYsteme) project, in which an acoustic driver assistance system is being developed and built to meet the needs of the steadily growing group of older drivers. Technical, psychological and economic aspects were investigated.

The authors examine in detail the fundamentals and mathematical descriptions of the dynamics of automobiles. In this context different levels of complexity will be presented, starting with basic single-track models up to complex three-dimensional multi-body models. A particular focus is on the process of establishing mathematical models on the basis of real cars and the validation of simulation results. The methods presented are explained in detail by means of selected application scenarios.

The methods presented are explained in detail by means of selected application scenarios.In addition to some corrections, further application examples for standard driving maneuvers have been added for the present second edition.

Das Buch beschreibt Grundlagen der Fahrzeugdynamik und deren mathematische Modellierung. Besonderer Fokus liegt auf der Validierung der Ergebnisse. Ausgewählte Anwendungen erläutern die behandelten Grundlagen. Der Leser lernt, eigene Modelle zu entwickeln, kommerzielle Simulationsprogramme einzusetzen und Simulationsergebnisse zu bewerten.Für die vierte Auflage wurde das Buch grundlegend überarbeitet.

The book describes the fundamentals of vehicle dynamics and their mathematical modeling. Special focus is placed on the validation of results. Selected applications illustrate the fundamentals covered. Readers learn how to develop their own models, use commercial simulation programs, and evaluate simulation results.The book has undergone a comprehensive revision and expansion for its third edition.

Die Forschung zur Mobilität weist eine sehr dynamische Entwicklung und große thematische Breite auf. Deshalb ist es notwendig, zukünftige Trends im Automotive Engineering, im Automotive Management, künftige Mobilitätskonzepte und die Zukunft der mobilen Kommunikation gemeinsam zu betrachten.
