In this course hybrid dynamical systems (HDS) will be examined for modeling, simulation and control. The course both aims for giving a general theoretical background in HDS and applying this knowledge in specific vehicle/automotive and transport engineering problems. The application examples of Hybrid Dynamic Systems have interacting continuous time dynamics (modeled by ODEs) and discrete-event dynamics (modeled by automata).
