CAR-Lab: Control and Automotive Research Laboratory

Control and Automotive Research Laboratory (CAR-Lab) is dedicated to advancing the design, validation, and testing of control algorithms for automotive systems. Leveraging cutting-edge Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) platforms, the lab enables realistic simulation environments for evaluating vehicle dynamics, powertrain control, and advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS). Research activities span from model-based control design to real-time implementation and fault injection testing, supporting innovation in safe, efficient, and intelligent mobility.
