  Significant changes are occurring in the field of vehicle dynamics control.
Consequently, vehicle dynamics control systems are expected to be as common as
ABS systems in the near future. This paper focuses on the information
technology related requirements posed by these advances in the area of vehicle
dynamics control. Topics considered include vehicle dynamics simulation tools,
hardware in the loop simulation systems, sensors and related fault
tolerance/diagnostics, man machine interface problems and the implications of a
networked architecture on controller design.
