With the total number of vehicles steadily increasing and soon
approaching one billion, the world is facing serious challenges in
terms of both safety of road transport and sustainability.
Consequently the two major persistent issues for the automotive
industry are improved safety and reduced emissions.
The integration of complex microsystems with enhanced
intelligence, so-called smart systems has enabled an increase of
efficiency of the previously dumb internal combustion engine by on
average 1% annually during the last 20 years. In the future, smart
systems may help to leverage novel powertrain concepts towards the
zero emissions vehicle. Particularly for electric vehicles,
anticipatory power management and efficient driving assistance by
smart systems will be needed to overcome the range limitations.
Adaptive systems predicting the energy demand for a chosen route
will help the driver to increase energy efficiency. Networked
devices for car-to-car communication could help to avoid the waste
of energy due to unnecessary braking and accelerating. Intelligent
systems for tire monitoring and control deserve special attention
since insufficient tire pressure accounts for more than 3% of the
efficiency losses in the car. Future electrical in-wheel motors
require new miniaturised functionalities enabled by advanced micro-
and smart systems.
The conference book in hand is a showroom of activities, the
AMAA has been known for during the last 12 years: advanced sensors
even including one based on the giant magneto resistance (GMR)
effect a finding for which two European physicists were awarded the
Nobel prize, recently several camera and radar systems making road
traffic safer by assisting the driver in recognizing pedestrians
and obstacles, and human-machine interfaces based on the
recognition of hand gestures - a striking example of how smart
systems will further enhance the usability of vehicles and the
comfort of driving.
