Vehicular Systems (FS)

The research in Vehicular Systems has a clear focus on control, diagnosis, and supervision of functions in vehicles.

The overall aim is to develop control systems to obtain performance, safety, energy utilization, and environmental stability. Our strategy is to focus on the system science aspects, and to collaborate with others when it comes to mechanical construction or industrial evaluation. The functions under consideration include advanced engine control, control coordination of vehicle and powertrain systems, and autonomous functions in intelligent vehicles and intelligent roadways.


We also have a clear focus on general research on model-based fault diagnosis. The goal of model-based fault diagnosis is to detect and isolate faults in a physical process. Our research is focused on how a dynamic or static model of the process can be utilized in the design of a diagnosis system. We investigate both purely theoretical problems and more application-oriented problems. We have a general interest in all kinds of applications, e.g. aircrafts, chemical process plants, automotive engines.

Study profiles

Mechatronics

Study profile for M and Y programs

Courses in autonomous vehicles, vehicle dynamics with control, vehicle propulsion systems, modeling and control of engines and drivelines, and diagnosis and supervision, are all selectable in the master profiles Mechatronics on the M program and Automatic Control och the Y program. The courses are also selectable for many other study programs.

The profile in Mechatronics aims at preparing students for leading industrial development and research within model-based system development, where control systems are a core part of product functionality and value. The master profiles provide a solid foundation for work within both Swedish and international system developing industries.
