Progress in industrialization and automation engineering is creating many new opportunities in the autonomous systems industry. With the uncertain and highly nonlinear dynamics of the real world where these new technologies will be deployed, a reliable control strategy is necessary. This book provides a high-level discussion on model-based control engineering and its various applications.
A PhD holder, Umar Zakir Abdul Hamid has been working in the future mobility (connected and autonomous vehicle) field since 2014 with various teams in different countries and continents. Currently he is the Senior Lead Strategist for CEVT AB (Geely Group) in Sweden. With more than 30 scientific publications as author and editor under his belt, Umar actively participates in global automotive standardization efforts where he is the Secretary for the SAE Cooperative Driving Automation (CDA) Committee and IEEE Sweden.
As an expert, Umar has authored and edited books and scientific articles on the connected and automated mobility theme, in addition to being the associate editor for the IEEE Transactions on Intelligent Transportation Systems, SAE International Journal of Connected and Automated Vehicles and SAE Technical Papers, among many others. Furthermore, Umar is one of the recipients of the Finnish Engineering Award 2020 for his contributions to the development of all-weather autonomous driving solutions with Sensible 4.
Umar is an avid writer. In his spare time, he writes. About various subjects. That concerns him. Details can be found at www.umarzakir.page.
