Introducing students to contemporarycontrol concepts and systems applied to motor vehicles.

Students will be able to understand the way of operation of modern control systems applied to motor vehicles. Doing so, they will be able to participate in the design, implementation and maintenance of control systems in motor vehicles.

Basics of control systems theory. Control components in motor vehicles: sensors, actuators, microprocessor-based control units (CPUs), detection and treatment in case of occurrence of failures; Connecting control components in vehicles and their communication, communication protocols (CAN-bus); Control in gasoline and diesel engines. Examples of practical realization of automatic control systems in vehicles: Antilock Brake System (ABS), electronic stabilization of vehicles, detection of faults and security concepts; electrohydraulic and electromechanical braking systems, vehicle control systems (direction), an integrated system of a vehicle control; Advanced and distributed functions: control of lights and wipers, automatic speed control, automatic start-stop engine function, electronic parking brake, brake energy recuperation.

Lectures; Computing (N), Laboratory (L), Computer (C) and Computer-Laboratory (CL) Practice; Consultations. Part of the course which represents a logical whole can be passed in the form of colloquium. Colloquium and the examination are oral and written. Colloquium and the written part of the examination are taken in the written from, while oral part of the examination is oral. Course grade is formed based on the success in Colloquium, computer-laboratory practice and written and oral part of the examination.
