As the automotive industry faces into the smart era through
advances in sensing, computation, storage, communication, and
actuation technologies, a larger number of more complex control
applications with better performances are expected to be on board.
This requires an implementation platform with abundant resources,
which is a major challenge in the cost-sensitive automotive domain.
The implementation platform, often embedded in an Electronic
Control Unit (ECU) and shared by multiple applications to save
cost, is mainly comprised of a processor for computation, memory
for storing instructions and data, and bus for internal and
external communication. Conventionally, automotive control systems
are designed using model-based approaches, where the details of the
implementation platform are ignored. Techniques that integrate the
characteristics of implementation resources into control algorithms
design are largely missing. Such a separate design paradigm is too
conservative in resources dimensioning and utilization for modern
vehicles. This monograph presents recently developed approaches in
automotive control systems design that take implementation
resources into consideration, aiming to improve the control
performances for a given amount of resources, or equivalently,
realize the required control performances with fewer resources.
While communication resources have been extensively explored in the
literature of networked embedded control systems, this book focuses
on memory and computation resources, which have started to receive
attention from the academic community and industry just recently.
As Electric Vehicles (EVs) have become a new trend in the
automotive industry, energy resources of EVs are also investigated.
A number of real-world applications validate the resource-aware
automotive systems design techniques presented in the monograph.
This text will be of interest to researchers and engineers in the
automotive, embedded system and control domains.
