Peter Zegelaar obtained his Master's degree in mechanical engineering at the Delft University of Technology (the Netherlands). He started working at the Vehicle Research Laboratory at the same university and received his Ph.D. for research into modelling the dynamic properties of tyres during braking on rough road surfaces. After completing his doctorate, he worked for five years at Robert Bosch GmbH in Schwieberdingen (Germany) on feature development for anti-lock braking systems (ABS) and electronic stability control systems (ESC). He joined Ford R&A in Aachen (Germany) in 2003 and worked on the integration of active chassis control systems. In 2008 he started working on ADAS systems and was active in the field of collision avoidance: automatic braking and steering to avoid collisions. Now he is working on highly automated driving and cooperative driving. In addition, between 2015 and 2021, he was part-time professor of “Smart Vehicle Technology” at the Eindhoven University of Technology (the Netherlands). At this institute he still teaches the course “Vehicle Control”.
