Abstract

The use of automobiles is increasing worldwide. In 1970, 30 million vehicles were produced and 246 million vehicles were registered worldwide (Powers and Nicastri, 2000). By 2011, approximately 72 million vehicles are expected to be produced annually and more than 800 million vehicles could be registered.

The increasing worldwide use of automobiles has motivated the need to develop vehicles that optimize the use of highway and fuel resources, provide safe and comfortable transportation and at the same time have minimal impact on the environment. It is a great challenge to develop vehicles that can satisfy these diverse and often conflicting requirements. To meet this challenge, automobiles are increasingly relying on electromechanical sub-systems that employ sensors, actuators and feedback control. Advances in solid state electronics, sensors, computer technology and control systems during the last two decades have also played an enabling role in promoting this trend.
