Multiplexing, or in-vehicle networking, is one of the most popular areas of vehicle electronics today. It is the technology of applying serial data communications to a vehicle's electric/electronic functions. All vehicle OEMs, electronic control unit (ECU) suppliers, and integrated circuit (IC) vendors to the automotive industry are working on multiplex products. Multiplexing can be best discussed at three levels - vehicle, ECU or component, and IC. Within each level are partitions for software and hardware, and within each partition are divisions of functionality such as buffer size. The content in this book will help the reader to acquire a basic understanding of vehicle multiplexing systems, primarily from the passenger car and light truck viewpoint. Some discussion of heavy-duty and off-road vehicle multiplexing is presented, along with a look at industrial automation - a fast-growing multiplex field already eclipsing automotive usage. | £70.00 | 0-7680-1218-X.jpg | View | |

| 0-7680-0900-6 | SAE | Pioneers of the U.S. Automobile Industry, Volume 1: The Big Three | Michael J. Kollins | 2001; 256 Pages; Hard Cover | A hundred years ago a trip by automobile was as much a test of manpower as of horsepower, "Men had to be men". In those days, "Get out and get under" (the song was not composed then) had a direct meaning to the adventuresome, soiled and grease-stained motorist chauffeurs. Happily, these crude, cumbersome, horseless carriages are no more. Here and there a restored one may be found, hidden among the array of glistening new vehicles of modern achievement. Those pioneer vehicles were in fact as naïve as the ancient chariots of Egypt and Rome. The early horseless carriages were big, heavy, uncomfortable, noisy, and smelly wagons or carriages, powered by engines having huge cylinders that were gluttons for fuel. Or they were small, fragile, uncomfortable, noisy and smelly buggies, powered by small engines, hardly big enough to propel the buggy. Clanking chains rotated the rear wheels, while noisy engines dripped oil like a sieve. They emitted billowing clouds of smoke, as the drab vehicles trembled on wobbly wheels that seemed ready to collapse. Although the average asking price for one of these "headaches on wheels" was $1,000 or more, the greatest expense came later for maintenance and repairs. These vehicles were plagued with engine, clutch, transmission, steering, brake, wheel, and fuel troubles, let alone problems from the weather. The cost of broken and worn-out parts greatly exceeded the cost of operation. Axle shafts fractured, universal joints failed, crankshafts broke or scored, pistons cracked, cylinders scored or wore rapidly, connecting rods broke, bearings burned out, clutches slipped, transmission gears stripped and chattered. Adjustments and overhaul procedures were common operating procedure. The cost of replacement parts was high because of the lack of standardization and volume. These strange and crude-looking vehicles spit, coughed, belched, groaned, backfired, and stalled unexpectedly. They were the source of distrust, despair, doubt, ridicule, and embarrassment to their owners. It was soon quite obvious that the smelly, noisy, imperfect, and expensive automobile needed much refinement and performance proof to convince a skeptical public that it was a viable alternative to travel by horse.

| 0-7680-0797-6 | SAE | Investigation and Interpretation of Black Box Data in Automobiles (SAE) | William Rosenbluth (Editor) | 2001; 229 Pages; Soft Cover | A Guide to the Concepts and Formats of Computer Data in Vehicle Safety and Control Systems. First published guide to assist engineers and investigators to obtain and interpret "black box" data from vehicles for safety and accident related systems. More accurate assessments of land vehicle accident conditions can be made with the use of this new joint ASTM/SAE publication, which provides users guidance on obtaining and interpreting "black box" data. Technological advances in non-volatile electronic data storage have enabled increasingly sophisticated information, to be gathered from automobiles and trucks involved in highway accidents. This electronically saved data, regarding issues such as: engine fuel management (EFI), antilock braking systems (ABS), automatic traction control (ATC), cruise control (CC), air bags (SRS), and seat belt tensioners (ETR) will be an immense aid to land vehicle investigators attempting to determine vehicle conditions before and during an accident. Originally intended to assist repair, not necessarily investigation, stored data has been saved in several different formats and the ability to now obtain a set of data will be extremely useful to investigators. Also included is information on where and how to find various data parameters and how to interpret and combine them so their sum can present a vehicle condition overview that can provide significant additional information when compared to traditional post-accident mechanical analysis techniques. Discussion also covers mathematical structures, basic Newtonian physics, and basic electronic circuits. These elements are then integrated into several case studies. | £65.00 | 0-7680-0797-6.jpg | View |
| 0-7680-0800-X | SAE | World History of the Automobile | Erik Eckermann (Translated by Peter L. Albrecht) | 2001; 382 Pages; Soft Cover | Updated English translation of "Vom Dampfwagen zum Auto" by Erik Eckermann. The availability of a power source around 1885, in the form of a lightweight combustion engine, resulted in a paradigm shift 50 years after the railway had revolutionized transportation. Suddenly, it was possible to equip not only two-wheeled vehicles, coaches, and trucks, but also ships and boats, streetcars, airships, airplanes, fire engines, and many other devices with an engine that, thanks to liquid fuel carried on board, could operate anywhere. Motorized road transport quickly overcame the decades-old advantage of the railroad, and set new standards for free-ranging surface transportation, time savings, and individual mobility. In the process, mass motorization has spawned problems of its own which threaten to grow to uncontrollable proportions: energy consumption, dwindling resources, environmental pollution, climate changes, and traffic accidents, to name just a few. The automobile must be regarded not only from technological or economic standpoints, but also from an ecological perspective. Contents include: The Prehistory of the Automobile - From Ancient Times to 1884; The Pioneering Era and Coming of Age - 1885 to 1918; The Automobile as an Industrial Product - 1919 to 1945; The Mass-Produced Automobile - 1946 to 1979; The Automobile as a Consumer Good - 1980 to 2000; 115 Years of Motorized Traffic and Transportation - The Road Behind, The Road Ahead. | £19.00 | 0-7680-0800-X.jpg | View |

| 0-7680-0802-6 | SAE | Hell-Rider to King of the Air: Glenn Curtiss Life of Innovation | Kirk House | 2003; Hard Cover | There's no question that Glenn Curtiss was one of the most significant figures in the early development of motorcycles, aviation, and engine development. This book will take you on a journey through both his life and his innovative technological developments. And what a life it was. Descriptions of this man prove to be contradictory and controversial. He was quiet, yet dashing. Kind yet stern. Uneducated, yet technological and entrepreneurial pioneer. He began his inventing career by building and racing motorcycles, while creating new internal combustion engines, then moved on to work with dirigibles, airplanes, (particularly seaplanes), community development and travel trailers. In the end, Glenn Curtiss - a man respected contemporaries for his character - went to his grave accused of fiduciary irresponsibility and patent theft. His bitter patent disputes with the Wright brothers leave many wondering whether Curtiss should be seen as a hero or a villain when his place in history is considered. Hell-Rider to King of the Air examines Curtiss's life, career, and accomplishments in an engaging and accessible way, so that readers can answer that question for themselves. | £47.00 | 0-7680-0802-6.jpg | View |

| 0-7680-0814-X | SAE | Ford: The Dust and The Glory: A Racing History, Volume 2 (1968-2000) | Leo Levine | 2001; 431 Pages; Hard Cover | This second volume of Leo Levine's history of Ford's 100-year involvement in auto racing covers the 33-year span from 1968 through 2000, the years in which the sport grew from a regional attraction to a national television phenomenon. Levine goes behind the scenes to chronicle the greatest personalities, cars, and races of the era, from all types of racing - NASCAR, CART, Formula One, NHRA, Off-Road, and others. The stories and words (via first-hand interviews) of: * Mario Andretti * Junior Johnson * Parnelli Jones * Bobby Rahal * Jackie Stewart * And many others. With an emphasis on Ford's groundbreaking accomplishments, this volume of The Dust and the Glory also serves as a comprehensive history of international racing since 1968. Thus, in addition to the stories of the drivers closely associated with Ford - Cale Yarborough, Dale Jarrett, Mario Andretti, Bob Glidden, and Bill Elliott, to name but a few - the book also provides information on the careers of superstars such as Richard Petty, Dale Earnhardt and Jeff Gordon. The results of different racing circuits' major events, and their year-end rankings, are provided for each year covered by the book. But The Dust and the Glory, is more than a series of dates and facts about racers and their victories. The ideas, the decisions, the foresight - and in some cases, the mistakes - of car owners, engineers, sponsors, and corporate management are also a large part of the story. Levine explains why Walter Hayes is "the most important man in Ford's 100-year history of motorsports involvement." Also discussed are topics such as Ford's shutdown of motorsports operations in 1970, the early days of Formula Ford, the company's early 1990s re-emergence in the CART business, and the 1999 introduction of the Focus. Great owners such as Robert Yates, Roger Penske, and Jack Roush are also profiled. Also available as a set with R 292.

| 0-7680-0902-2 | SAE | Pioneers of the U.S. Automobile Industry, Volume 3: The Financial Wizards | Michael J. Kollins | 2001; 214 Pages; Hard Cover | A hundred years ago a trip by automobile was as much a test of manpower as of horsepower, "Men had to be men". In those days, "Get out and get under" (the song was not composed then) had a direct meaning to the adventuresome, soiled and grease-stained motorist chauffeurs. Happily, these crude, cumbersome, horseless carriages are no more. Here and there a restored one may be found, hidden among the array of glistening new vehicles of modern achievement. Those pioneer vehicles were in fact as naïve as the ancient chariots of Egypt and Rome. The early horseless carriages were big, heavy, uncomfortable, noisy, and smelly wagons or carriages, powered by engines having huge cylinders that were gluttons for fuel. Or they were small, fragile, uncomfortable, noisy and smelly buggies, powered by small engines, hardly big enough to propel the buggy. Clanking chains rotated the rear wheels, while noisy engines dripped oil like a sieve. They emitted billowing clouds of smoke, as the drab vehicles trembled on wobbly wheels that seemed ready to collapse. Although the average asking price for one of these "headaches on wheels" was $1,000 or more, the greatest expense came later for maintenance and repairs. These vehicles were plagued with engine, clutch, transmission, steering, brake, wheel, and fuel troubles, let alone problems from the weather. The cost of broken and worn-out parts greatly exceeded the cost of operation. Axle shafts fractured, universal joints failed, crankshafts broke or scored, pistons cracked, cylinders scored or wore rapidly, connecting rods broke, bearings burned out, clutches slipped, transmission gears stripped and chattered. Adjustments and overhaul procedures were common operating procedure. The cost of replacement parts was high because of the lack of standardization and volume. These strange and crude-looking vehicles spit, coughed, belched, groaned, backfired, and stalled unexpectedly. They were the source of distrust, despair, doubt, ridicule, and embarrassment to their owners. It was soon quite obvious that the smelly, noisy, imperfect, and expensive automobile needed much refinement and performance proof to convince a skeptical public that it was a viable alternative to travel by horse. Fortunately, the novelty, rarity, or scarcity attracted enough buyers to keep some manufacturers in business, while the brilliant minds of these stalwart men worked to solve the problems, and to regain the public’s confidence, despite the negatives. These vehicles were the direct ancestors of our modern-day cars, and from their trials, failures, and successes, came knowledge and improvements. It is the purpose of this publication to acknowledge the accomplishments, give credit to, and honor those various selfless individuals who risked all their possessions and toiled to acquire a better means of transportation, which has led to a better and fuller life for all Americans.

| 0-7680-0776-3 | SAE | Vehicle Accident Analysis & Reconstruction Methods | Raymond M. Brach and Matthew Brach | 2005; Hard Cover | A number of books already exist on the topic of accident reconstruction. With some notable exceptions, many of them are tomes devoted to how the authors and perhaps a few colleagues used intuition and insight to decide how they thought an accident happened. In a few cases, these books are collections of "war stories" or case histories, usually presentations of one view of the events. In contrast, this book is one of methods. The perspective taken here is that accident reconstruction is a field of applied science, namely, an application of the principles of science, mathematics, and engineering, and is a quantitative endeavor. The same principles of mathematics, physics, and engineering that allow us to safely race vehicles over 200 mph, build space stations, and navigate the depths of the oceans can be used to reconstruct vehicle accidents. A concerted goal of this book is to raise the analytical level of accident reconstruction practice such that commonly known scientific, engineering, and mathematical methods increasingly become a more common part of the field. Intended for seasoned practitioners and those entering the field of accident reconstruction, the topical coverage is aimed at the problems reconstructionists encounter from day to day and the types of methods used. Readers are guided through a multitude of practical, useful, and informative examples that show how, when, and why many of these problems occur - key requirements for designing safer vehicles, handling insurance claims, and litigating court cases. Representing a significant improvement in the level of quality and rigor in the presentation of reconstruction analytical techniques of light and heavy vehicle crashes, this book is an invaluablereference for consultants, lawyers, engineers, students, vehicle manufacturers and suppliers, police departments and academies, insurance companies, and those involved in the field of accident reconstruction. Chapters include: Uncertainty in Measurements and Calculations; Tire Forces; Straight-Line Motion; Critical Speed from Tire Yaw Marks; Reconstruction of Vehicular Rollover Accidents; Analysis of Collisions, Impulse-Momentum Theory; Reconstruction Applications, Impulse-Momentum Theory; Crush Energy and ?V; Frontal Vehicle-Pedestrian Collisions; Photogrammetry; Vehicle Dynamic Simulation.
