Automotive Powertrain Modeling, Simulation and Control Using Integrated System's CASE Tools

Detailed model of the longitudinal dynamics of a typical automobile is developed. A nonlinear controller is designed for speed control of the automobile. Integrated System's CACSD tool SystemBuild is used to simulate and test the controller. A complete automotive control design package is developed using SystemBuild and Xmath.¹ The modular design can work as a software/simulation test platform for new designs of various subsystems of the automotive powertrain.
