Electronic Architectures: organising vehicle sub-systems – inaugural lecture from Professor Elias Stipidis

Published 26 January 2012

Event 15 March 2012

Technology in commercial vehicles is traditionally seen as a mostly mechanical engineering discipline. However, in the past decade, vehicle electronics (vetronics) research has given an entirely new dimension to vehicle systems where mechanical and electrical/electronic components are now integrated.

Although research has progressed a lot, and many technologies, techniques and methodologies have adopted the avionics approach of fly-by-wire, there are many challenges that a drive-by-wire capability has to overcome to be commercially viable. These challenges have to address issues with the appropriate state-of-the-art technologies, legislation, safety and security, and very importantly, human factors.

This lecture will attempt to give an insight to these challenges and the approach the Vetronics Research Centre uses to address these.
