Preface

The transportation sector is progressing rapidly. The mechanized transportation vehicles that we began using 200 years ago have made our lives easier, as have their

Vehicles are transportation fixtures with complex engineering features. Vehicles have their own production methods, usage areas, types, and sizes. Their one commonality

One of the important aspects of vehicle engineering is movement direction. How the functions of the vehicle will correspond to the commands from the driver or user is

The first issue in vehicle dynamics is how to calculate the forces on the vehicle while it is in motion and how to calculate the energy required for this motion to occur. Although vehicle dynamism is calculated in different ways for different transportation types (air, land, sea, and space), it serves two main purposes. First, how the driver's/user's commands/requests will be executed by the vehicle and second, how safe and comfortable driving should continue while these commands are being

Vehicles are not just about their engines (internal combustion, electric, etc.), which supply energy. Besides examining the complex mechanical processes in engines, vehicle dynamics involves studying how the motion energy from a vehicle's engine

This book highlights the importance of vehicle dynamics, with a focus on autonomous vehicles, underscoring their importance as vehicles of the future. Chapters address such topics as vehicle dynamics and modeling, testing, and modeling in different

I wish to express my thanks to the contributing authors for their strong efforts and

There are several important parts in vehicle dynamics that must be identified, calculated, and manufactured accordingly. These parts play an essential role in the movement of the vehicle. Brakes, suspensions, wheels, wings, aerodynamic structure, steering, driver support systems, and many more parts form the basis of vehicle
