Control Systems, in the last two decades, has positioned itself to be one of the most sought-after technological enhancements due to its versatility and robustness. The system, when accurately designed, provides excellent accuracy, precision, and response in its output for a given target input, thereby providing minimal errors in comparison to a manually operated system. Such advantages have allowed control systems to effectively upgrade industrial plants and give up human interaction as much as possible.

A Control System can be designed on the basis of the following characteristics of linearity, Input-Output combination, System type (Open-Loop vs Closed Loop), accuracy, and response. Furthermore, the PID Control System would be dissected and modeled to provide a good understanding of the closed-loop control system design. Applications of Control systems are numerous and these systems can be observed in systems like ABS, TCS, Automatic cruise control, fuel flow or energy flow control from the batteries, safety systems, and many more systems in the vehicle.
