To meet always increasing safety requirements in car industry, design and safety assessment methods are developed in order to fit the complexity of new embedded mecatronic systems. Hybrid (discrete/continuous) and dynamic features, specific to these systems, require choosing a suitable formalism. These features should also be considered in safety s...

A pragmatic approach is proposed in order to perform simplification of a complex non-linear model of a full-vehicle with the purpose of active suspension design. It relies upon two stages : numerical linearisation of the non-linear model around an equilibrium point, and order reduction of the linear representation. The emphasis is put on the fact t...

Diffedge tool is a new methodology that eliminates the drawbacks of finite-difference approximations and the complexity to use the automatic differentiation. It combines the powerful of computer algebra system and block diagram structures for computing the derivative of a Simulink model with respect to the independent parameters. Diffedge calculate...
