Active Body Control (ABC) with RapidPro

Company: DaimlerChrysler AG, Germany
Published: dSPACE NEWS 2004/3, Sep 2004

DaimlerChrysler needed a signal conditioning and power driver system for function prototyping that was both compact in size and easy to install in the vehicle, and chose the new RapidPro System from dSPACE as the candidate for evaluation. A prototype system went into action in Mercedes-Benz vehicles, where it successfully performed active body control in conjunction with MicroAutoBox. The RapidPro prototype has since clocked up several thousand test drive kilometers throughout Europe, for example, on the Nürburgring, in Spain, and in winter tests in Sweden.
