Basic principles of vehicle dynamics

Abstract

Braking systems have been continuously developed and improved throughout the last years. Major milestones were the introduction of antilock braking system (ABS) and electronic stability program. This reference book provides a detailed description of braking components and how they interact in electronic braking systems. Complex technology of modern motor vehicles and increasing functions need a relia- ble source of information to understand the components or systems. The rapid and secure access to these informations in the field of Automotive Electrics and Electron- ics provides the book in the series “Bosch Professional Automotive Information” which contains necessary fundamentals, data and explanations clearly, systemati- cally, currently and application-oriented. The series is intended for automotive pro- fessionals in practice and study which need to understand issues in their area of work. It provides simultaneously the theoretical tools for understanding as well as the appli- cations.
