Book Synopsis
This important collection of papers from a conference organised by the University of Sussex presents you with twenty-four papers, which Peter Childs and Richard Stobart have collectively drawn together.

The papers individually address aspects of:

  • Vehicle dynamics and control
  • Control and design of the power train
  • Vehicle safety
  • Human centered design
  • Environmental vehicle propulsion
  • Vehicle design
  • Experimental techniques
