Fahrwerkhandbuch

The chassis of modern passenger cars represent a combination of mechanical, hydraulic, pneumatic, electrical, and electronic components, depending on the configuration. With each new development, the proportion of electronic control and regulation systems increases, and the range of dynamic driving characteristics expands. This volume presents the conventional elements and their interaction with mechatronic systems. It begins with the fundamentals and design, followed by a particularly practical presentation of driving dynamics. Detailed descriptions and explanations of modern chassis components follow. Separate chapters are dedicated to axles and processes for axle development. The revised edition includes updates on autonomous driving, electric chassis, and the latest driver assistance systems.
