ABS, ESC, ACC,…
A multitude of car functions for chassis control and driver assistance uses independently active ECUs to affect brakes, steering, and propulsion. New electric powertrain topologies, autonomous driving features, and by-wire technology are significantly changing vehicle landscapes.
On our way to the software-defined vehicle, the need for coordinated vehicle motion control grows. Fortunately, the opportunity to finally do so has also arrived.
And the redundancy required for autonomous driving is achieved in the process. Using centralized software to influence the vertical, longitudinal, and lateral dynamics of the vehicle means ensuring optimal interaction of all actuators – and in essence: determining the best driving strategy.
New opportunities arise
How it works
Overview of VMM benefits
- Domain-centralized architecture
- Optimal predictive control of all motion-relevant components
- Enhanced safety, comfort, agility, and energy efficiency
- Personalizable software solution
- Essential for automated driving
IAV Vehicle Motion Control – Features
The following example considers a vehicle with front axle steering, rear axle steering, and all-wheel drive in various driving situations. The VMM actively adjusts drive and braking torques as well as wheel steering angles at the front and rear axles to optimize vehicle movement.
