This paper represents one of the results of the second Herbertov Workshop in 1992 on "Research Issues in Automotive Integrated Chassis Control Systems". It was decided to bring together engineers who are actively involved in current software developments to report on the progress in integrated system analysis and design software for controlled vehicles. Therefore, after mentioning some of the principal requirements for such software, the state-of-the-art is summarized. Promising recent research and software developments are described and the application of some of these concepts to an actively controlled vehicle with preview is discussed. Throughout the article the ideas of concurrent analysis and design strategies are emphasized.
