Echtzeitfahige und genaue Simulationsmodelle der Kraftfahrzeugdynamik fur die Weiterentwicklung der Regelung und Diagnose bei Kraftfahrzeugen konnen nahezu optimale Simulationsergebnisse erreichen, wenn die Modelle an Veranderungen von Fahrzeugparametern oder Umgebungsbedingungen automatisch adaptiert werden. Die Kombination eines physikalischen Fahrzeugmodells mit Parameterschatzverfahren und Neuronalen Netzen ermoglicht eine signifikante Verbesserung der Simulationsqualitat gegenuber konventionellen Kfz-Simulationsmodellen. Fur die praktische Umsetzung werden die Vorteile des adaptiven...

The road vehicle of the future will embrace innovations from three major automotive technology fields: driver assistance systems, vehicle networking and alternative propulsion. Smart systems such as adaptive ICT components and MEMS devices, novel network architectures, integrated sensor systems, intelligent interfaces and functional materials form the basis of these features and permit their successful and synergetic integration. They increasingly appear to be the key enabling technologies for safe and green road mobility. For more than fifteen years the International Forum on Advanced...

With a focus on ecology, economy and engine performance, diesel engines are explored in relation to current research and developments. The prevalent trends in this development are outlined with particular focus on the most frequently used alternative fuels in diesel engines; the properties of various type of biodiesel and the concurrent improvement of diesel engine characteristics using numeric optimization alongside current investigation and research work in the field.

Following of a short overview of engine control, aftertreatment and alternative fuels, Green Diesel Engine...

Engine Testing is a unique, well-organized and comprehensive collection of the different aspects of engine and vehicle testing equipment and infrastructure for anyone involved in facility design and management, physical testing and the maintenance, upgrading and trouble shooting of testing equipment. Designed so that its chapters can all stand alone to be read in sequence or out of order as needed, Engine Testing is also an ideal resource for automotive engineers required to perform testing functions whose jobs do not involve engine testing on a regular basis. This recognized standard...
