From the reviews:
"The book presents an overview of systems and control research issues in the application context of automotive control (AE). . This book is an excellent up-to-date reference presenting a variety of original applications of system and control theory in automotive control. It presents also new effort to solve theoretical problems arising from problems in AE. . The book is intended for researchers, practitioners, and advanced postgraduate students working in the areas of control engineering, mechanical engineering and applied mathematics . ."
