Learning objectives and syllabus

Learning objectives:

  • Understand fundamental concepts: system, ODE, DAE, states, time invariance
  • Understand and use stability concepts and tools
  • Apply Modelica for physical/mathematical models relevant for vehicle dynamics problem
  • Understand descrete dynamics
  • Apply estimation theories on estimation of force and speed
  • Understand vehicle control principles and function design
  • Understand friction theory
  • Apply physical tyre models such as the brush model
  • Higher level understanding of actuators and how to model them
  • Understanding of non-linear vehicle dynamics including the handling diaagram
  • Applying models for articulated vehicles
The course contributes to the United Nations sustainable development goals regarding Sustainable cities and communities samhällenssss(SDG 13) and Climate action (SDG 11) in the sense that vehicle dynamics and control are important aspects both for vehicle safety and energy efficiency.
