Bemporad et al., 2000, 2001) proposed mixed logical-dynamical (MLD) systems and the language HYSDEL (HYbrid System DEscription Language) as a modeling tool. For MLD models, we developed a reachability analysis algorithm which combines forward reach-set computation and feasibility analysis of trajectories by linear and mixed-integer linear programming. In this paper, the versatility of the overall analysis tool is illustrated in the verification of an automotive cruise control system for a car with a robotized manual gear shift
