Acerca del autor

Professor Ribbens received his B.S.E.E. degree in 1960, his M.S.E.E. degree in 1961, and his Ph.D. degree in 1965, all from the University of Michigan. From 1962-69, he was an assistant research engineer, associate research engineer, and research engineer. He was appointed assistant professor in 1969 and was promoted to associate professor in 1972 and professor in 1993. He was appointed professor of aerospace engineering in 1995. His research most recently has focused on electronic systems and devices that are applicable to all vehicles. His particular emphasis has been on engine control applications, mathematical models for drive-train systems, computer-assisted diagnostics for electronically controlled engines, and failure detection systems. His work in these areas has substantially advanced the art of automotive electronics, and he is recognized as a world leader in this area. He served on the Hitachi Science Board, a distinction given to few U.S. academics. He was also a visiting scientist at the Lawrence Livermore Laboratory, General Motors Technical Center, and the Technical University of Berlin.

De la contraportada

• Includes comprehensive coverage of automotive electronics and control, including the latest technology in telematics, active safety, entertainment and communications
• Covers topics from an engineering perspective rather than a technician or mechanic-focused trouble-shooting level
• Ideal as a conversion tool for control and electronic engineers moving into the automotive industry

From simple automotive electronic circuits to latest developments in telematics, active safety, entertainment and communications, Understanding Automotive Electronics is an ideal resource for automotive engineers without a background in electronics or control needing to work in the area or supervise specialists.

Thoroughly updated throughout, this new edition moves away from introductory mechanic-level electronics to cover in more depth hot topics such as transmission control, hybrid control, AUTOSAR (AUTomotive Open System ARchitecture) and vehicle networks.

A rare engineering-focused resource on automotive electronics and control this book is ideal as a quick reference and get-up-to-speed-fast guide for all engineers in the automotive industry.
