Chassis and Safety Systems

One of the fastest growing areas of consumer demand involves chassis and safety systems. These systems require coordination of complex, distributed vehicle dynamics functions such as torque demand, suspension and braking systems control, and steering controls and are using new technologies such as time-triggered communication networks, electric motors, advanced processors and DSP-based controls, and even wireless and image processing systems.

MathWorks tools enable engineers to model and simulate high-level requirements, expressed as vehicle algorithms, for use across multiple vehicle platforms. Implementation on the target system is supported with advanced capabilities in the tools for signal image processing, motor control, communications technologies, and software development.
