Vehicle Dynamics: Modeling and Simulation
暫譯: 車輛動力學：建模與模擬

作者詳細探討了汽車動力學的基本原理和數學描述。在這個背景下，呈現了不同層次的複雜性，從基本的單軌模型到複雜的三維多體模型。特別關注的是基於真實汽車建立數學模型的過程以及模擬結果的驗證。所提出的方法通過選定的應用場景進行詳細解釋。

除了進行了一些修正外，本第二版還增加了標準駕駛動作的進一步應用範例。為了考慮到駕駛模擬器在研究和工業應用中的使用增加，新增了一個關於駕駛模擬器的構思、實施和應用的新章節。

Prof. Dr.-Ing. Dieter Schramm is the head of the Chair of Mechatronics since 2004 and the dean of the Faculty of Engineering at the University of Duisburg-Essen since 2006. Before that time and after he got his Phd in Engineering from the University of Stuttgart he worked over a period of more than 18 years in various positions in the Automotive Industry. Starting as section manager at the Robert Bosch Company he held later positions as head of department and from 1999 as director of engineering and marketing for various product segments and as well as being the CEO of an affiliated company of Tyco Electronics Ltd. His main scientific focus in automotive is on vehicle dynamics and safety, driver assistance systems, electro mobility and driving simulators.

Prof. Dr.-Ing. habil. Dr. H.C. Mult. M. Hiller has been head of the first Chair of Mechatronics in Germany from 1991 to 2004 at the University of Duisburg (today University of Duisburg-Essen). During his time in Duisburg (from 1987) and before that during his time at the University of Stuttgart he has been dealing with modeling and simulation of road vehicles over more than three decades. As a consequence, close collaborations with major car manufacturers and car suppliers in Germany have been established. In particular, detailed multi-body system based simulation models have been designed, thus providing a major contribution to the development of active and passive safety systems, like ESP and rollover-prevention.

Dr.-Ing. Roberto Bardini has been working since March 2000 as a development engineer in the field of vehicle safety, first with the company Audi and since October 2003 with the company BMW. He is engaged in spatial multi-body simulation of occupants and vehicles since his mechanical engineering degree in 1996 at the chair of mechatronics under direction of Professor Hiller. Especially for the design of occupant protection systems for vehicle rollover, he has developed simulation tools that are successfully used in practice.

德國杜伊斯堡-埃森大學機電一體化系主任 Dieter Schramm 教授自2004年以來擔任該系主任，並自2006年起擔任工程學院院長。在此之前，他在斯圖加特大學獲得工程學博士學位後，曾在汽車產業擔任各種職位，長達18年以上。起初，他在羅伯特·博世公司擔任部門經理，之後擔任部門負責人，並自1999年起擔任多個產品領域的工程與行銷總監，同時也是泰科電子有限公司的附屬公司的執行長。他在汽車領域的主要科學研究重點包括車輛動態與安全、駕駛輔助系統、電動移動性及駕駛模擬器。

德國杜伊斯堡-埃森大學首任機電一體化系主任 Dr.-Ing. habil. Dr. H.C. Mult. M. Hiller 教授自1991年至2004年擔任該系主任。在杜伊斯堡的任期（自1987年起）以及在斯圖加特大學的任期內，他在道路車輛的建模與模擬方面有超過三十年的經驗。因此，他與德國主要汽車製造商及供應商建立了密切的合作關係。特別是，他設計了詳細的多體系統基礎模擬模型，為主動與被動安全系統的開發做出了重要貢獻，例如電子穩定程序（ESP）和翻車預防系統。

Dr.-Ing. Roberto Bardini自2000年3月以來在汽車安全領域擔任開發工程師，最初在奧迪公司工作，自2003年10月起轉至BMW公司。他自1996年在機電一體化系獲得機械工程學位以來，一直從事乘員與車輛的空間多體模擬。特別是在設計車輛翻車的乘員保護系統方面，他開發了成功應用於實踐的模擬工具。
