Modern vehicles are engineered across mechanical, electrical, software, and safety boundaries at once - a chassis decision changes a battery duty cycle, a software update changes a wear pattern, and a thermal margin decision changes how much power a motor can deliver.
Most references cover only one of these domains at a time, leaving engineers to reconcile mechanical, electrical, software, and safety decisions on their own once real trade-offs collide.
Most references cover only one of these domains at a time, leaving engineers to reconcile mechanical, electrical, software, and safety decisions on their own once real trade-offs collide.
This handbook teaches vehicle engineering the way real programs run: one coupled system, developed through a consistent requirements-to-verification process, worked in full across eighteen chapters from foundations to field lifecycle.
What This Book Covers
Who this book is for: Engineers, engineering students, and technical program staff working across mechanical, electrical, software, and safety domains - vehicle systems engineers, powertrain and chassis engineers, embedded and controls engineers, and safety and validation specialists who need one reference connecting requirements to architecture to evidence.
Get your copy and start engineering the vehicle as one coupled system, from requirements to release.
What This Book Covers
- Work through requirements engineering, traceability, and vehicle-level requirements from stakeholder need through controlled change.
- Apply system architecture, functional decomposition, and interface control as a binding technical contract.
- Derive vehicle performance from first principles: road load, tractive force, acceleration, gradeability, and range.
- Compare propulsion architecture across combustion, hybrid, battery-electric, and hydrogen fuel-cell systems.
- Integrate chassis, steering, braking, and vehicle dynamics with body structure, crashworthiness, and occupant packaging.
- Engineer thermal management, low- and high-voltage electrical power systems, and software-defined electronic architecture.
- Work through sensors, actuators, networks, diagnostics, and embedded control and model-based development.
- Build reliability, functional safety, safety of the intended function, and automotive cybersecurity into every subsystem.
- Integrate driving-automation systems and assemble verification, validation, compliance, and homologation evidence.
- Carry a vehicle through manufacturing readiness, quality, sustainability, and field lifecycle management.
