KEYNOTE BRIEFING ON CURRENT, NEAR-TERM AND FUTURE DEVELOPMENTS IN THE CHASSIS CONTROL SEGMENT

As the automotive industry moves towards electrification & autonomous driving, steering, braking, and suspension are three critical systems driving developments in vehicle dynamics, and the by-wire revolution is increasing vehicle functionality. Additionally, as chassis control technology becomes more mature, there is more focus on optimising cost efficiency, without compromising performance, functionality, and safety.

Alongside developments in individual automotive control systems, the emerging trend of integrated chassis control systems is creating new challenges for the industry, both in terms of cost and capability.

This opening briefing will set the foundation for the Automotive Chassis System conference, providing an eagle-eye view on market developments in braking, steering and suspension domains, with the end goal of establishing the immediate priorities for integrated chassis control systems.

• Look at the big picture of braking, steering & suspension systems, and understand the impact of electrification on system development.
• Discuss how suspension systems are playing a role now and in the future, and what changes are needed to meet customer demands.
• Gain an overview of market trends for drive-by-wire systems.
• Understand the changing technology requirements to support performance demands of electric and autonomous vehicle mobility.
• Showcase the real advantages and functionalities of drive-by-wire technology and discuss how these systems will develop with higher levels of autonomy.
• New E/E Architecture for ECU integration into Domain and Zonal controllers.
