Abstract

The automotive industry is one of the leading industrial branches all around the world. The main reason of this fact is that this is the primary field of „civil” application of the newest scientific results reached in the space, aviation and military research, as well as a good trial opportunity for the new innovations in other scientific areas. No doubt, the passenger car development, application of new ideas and technology is leading comparing to the other (road) vehicle systems. The explanation for it is obvious: the price of passenger cars, usually bought for pleasure rather than making profit, can incorporate the extra costs of the advanced systems. This is the ground for the wide application controlled vehicle systems in passenger cars: ABS, TCS, electronic engine control, semi-active and/or adaptive suspension controls are all standard (options) in even medium size passenger cars.
