- Brief description
Vehicle technology is one of the main areas of application for mechatronics. Numerous innovative functions in vehicles are implemented using mechatronics. Well-known examples of this are modern braking and steering systems as well as engine control systems. The module looks at the elements of a mechatronic system: Sensors, actuators and the control unit with regulation or control system. A second focus of the module is the development process of a mechatronic system, in particular modeling and simulation. Finally, current driver assistance systems through to autonomous driving are discussed in more detail.
