Advanced Research Techniques in Mechatronics: Vehicle Dynamic Modeling in Steer-By-Wire Systems
Tuesday, March 18, 2008: 12:00 PM – 1:00 PM EDT
Today’s vehicles are demanding increasingly sophisticated models in order to complete the design and prototyping process in a timely manner. Automotive OEMs continue to look to new-generation modeling, simulation, and control techniques to provide them with an analytical and competitive edge. This e-Symposium will present the work of Dr. Venkat Krovi and his innovative application of new design software tools to accelerate the model development process and simultaneously increase model fidelity.
Physics-based Plant Modeling for Automotive Control Design
Thursday, April 3, 2008: 2:00 PM – 3:00 PM EDT
Over the past 15 years, the automotive industry has succeeded in addressing the need for fast and effective design, simulation, and development of control systems through “off-the-shelf” software tools. Companies such as Toyota have led the adoption of such tools and the concept of Model-Based Design. In this e-Symposium, Dr. Ken Butts of the Toyota Technical Center, USA will present some of the physical modeling challenges facing the company today and its vision for the future development of Rapid Plant Modeling methodologies based on symbolic computation.
