REPORT SCOPE
INTRODUCTION
STUDY GOALS AND OBJECTIVES
The automotive industry is being revolutionized by technological innovation.
The performance of vehicles, safety and comfort are being improved by using
automotive sensors in various systems including air bags, tire pressure
monitoring and vehicle stabilization control. Most of these innovations have
been through improved electronics and advanced sensors, using technologies
like silicon micro-engineering, thick film, capacitive, variable reluctance,
optical and radar. New applications are emerging particularly in emission
control and safety areas, apart from the sensors already being used for oil
pressure, coolant temperature, vehicle speed and fuel level. The sensors
field has become more challenging regarding robustness, reliability, quality
and finally cost. This report will look at the various sensors used in an
automobile, the global and regional market for these sensors, and their
applications.
REASONS FOR DOING THE STUDY
Increased demand for convenience, comfort, safety, efficiency and
environmental protection drives the automotive sensor market. Sensors
integrated with electronics, communications and computer intelligence are
poised for a growth surge. "Smart sensors" or "intelligent sensors" are
integrated sensors with intelligence and will be used in conjunction with all
types of devices. The advent of the "smart car" has major implications for
the automobile industry as well as the sensor industry, and this report will
study the route that is being taken by various automobile and sensor
manufacturers in achieving the ultimate goal of the "smart car."
INTENDED AUDIENCE
The report should attract the attention of engineering technologists and make
them more aware of how sensors can contribute to system control and monitoring
in an automobile. This report is intended to serve as a valuable resource for
all personnel involved in the design and production of automobile sensors,
associated systems and automobiles; for researchers working in the development
of new sensor technologies for use in various automobiles; and for
manufacturers of different types of automobile sensors.
SCOPE OF REPORT
In today's automobile industry, systems controlled by sensors have become an
integral part, and this has made most electro-mechanical devices more refined
and more efficient with their application. The development and deployment of
a number of sensing technologies support and enable the introduction of
advanced electronic systems, although there are challenges regarding
robustness, reliability, quality and cost. Although new sensors are emerging
to improve system functionality and enable future advanced systems, existing
sensors will also continue to find new applications, building upon their past
record of performance. This report will study the areas in the production of
an automobile that have advanced with the use of sensors, and the markets for
these sensors in various applications and regions.
For this report, automobiles are considered to include all passenger cars,
light commercial vehicles (LCVs), heavy commercial vehicles (HCVs) and buses.
INFORMATION SOURCES
Both primary and secondary research methods were used in preparing this
report. Primary information sources for this market research include
individuals within companies, various research organizations, governmental
agencies and trade associations.
Secondary research includes extensive literature reviews, such as trade
journals, seminar proceedings, patent literature, company literature,
published reports and government publications. Additional secondary research
sources include databases, trade literature, specialized journals and
government statistics
