USING DRIVE-BY-WIRE TECHNOLOGY TO DESIGN INTEGRATED POWERTRAIN MODULES INTEGRATION OF THE EVALUATION OF SURROUNDING VARIABLES

This paper describes how a drive-by-wire module can be used to activate an integrated vehicle powertrain by specifying a movement desire, either direction or acceleration, at an electronic coordination level. It describes both the options for designing the system architecture and the degree of functional integration with the objective of using the smallest possible number of control units. The paper also looks at potential applications such as autonomous driving sidestick, electronic drawbar, and reversing assistance for truck- and-trailer combinations. Focus is on improving active traffic safety looking toward using data from predictive and reactive systems to avoid dangerous traffic situations before a driving command is executed.
