Vehicle Systems Integration In The Wired World

The proceedings of the second Ricardo international conference took the theme of systems integration which remain one of the most topical issues for the automotive industry. Whether in realising the ambition to move towards zero emission vehicles, increasing the interactivity of occupant information systems, or pushing further the boundaries of fuel efficiency, the need to consider engineering at a system level has never before been an important as it is today.
Vehicle Systems Integration in the Wired World is a valuable update for all those senior engineers, managers, and directors involved in the specification, design, development, and systems engineering of automotive products.
