MATLAB/Simulink for automotive systems design

ABSTRACT

Automotive systems are becoming increasingly difficult and expensive to design successfully as the market demands increasing complexity. Body electronics are particularly affected by this trend, a good example being power windows design. This seemingly mundane area involves meeting market and legislative requirements, which means creating a control system that combines the input from several sensors and follows complex behavioral rules [1].
