This introductory chapter of Modeling and Control of Engines and Drivelines provides a detailed outline of the book. The book aims to provide an introduction to the subject of modeling, analysis, and control of engines and drivelines. The text is organized into five parts: vehicles and powertrains, engine fundamentals, engine modeling and control, drivelines, and diagnosis. There are many efforts toward making vehicles function as efficiently and cleanly as possible, and some of the major trends are downsizing, hybridization, driver support systems and new infrastructure. The main focus in the book is the fundamental issue of efficiently transforming energy to motion without unwanted side effects. This transformation is performed by the powertrain. The powertrain is a complex system in itself; handling this complexity in an optimal way is a strong motivation for modeling and control.
