Integrated Chassis Management: Introduction into BMW's Approach to ICM

Abstract

<div class="htmlview paragraph">This paper is supposed to address the BMW approach to the challenge of integrating chassis control systems and it highlights the major issues that have to be addressed.</div> <div class="htmlview paragraph">It points out possible solutions for scalable functional and hardware configurations for variable chassis control system combinations. A short outlook is given at possible functional benefits of an integrated structure.</div> <div class="htmlview paragraph">Finally, aspects such as components costs (e. g. for sensors and ECUs) as well as reactions on system failures and degradability have to be looked at.</div>
