BMW Motorrad has found the perfect solution. Reality Is Key BMW Motorrad relies on model- based development and rapid con- trol prototyping (RCP) at the vehi- cle itself to develop new functions. The development team uses MATLAB ® /Simulink ® to develop new controllers, such as anti-lock braking systems (ABS), automatic stability control (ASC), dynamic traction control (DTC), or dynamic damping control (DDC). Basic func- tional aspects can be analyzed in offl ine simulation. But there are complex infl uencing factors, such as the driver’s behav- ior, the tires, and the fact that vehicle dynamics are often taken to
