The increasingly complex electronics systems that range from powertrain controls, including modern hybrid and full electric, to infotainment, navigation systems and now self-driving technology.

A new study by Danish company Autelligence, Embedded Electronics – the evolving future heart of the automobile, offers a clear, detailed analysis of a complex world -- car systems, microcontrollers, architectures, sensors, standards and networks and research projects, as well as trends toward integration, new quality processes, the rise of systems-on-chip and a comprehensive look at who is doing what among the major players.

Autelligence says electronics have become the value centre of the future for suppliers; THE opportunity centre. Demand from OEMs has become enormous, whether for monitoring batteries in electric vehicles or the proliferation of sensors and monitors for autonomous driving applications. And the approach is changing dramatically as systems are being combined, sometimes on the same multicore processor.

“Embedded Electronics – the evolving future heart of the automobile” examines this critical sector, answers technical questions, outlines the strategies of each automaker and suggests opportunities for suppliers.

    Global toll revenues $8.5bn while technology ‘battles’ continue
    ABI Research’s Dominique Bonte talks to Jason Barnes about trends in tolling and how a wider appreciation of technology options is sorely needed. Global Electronic Toll Collection (ETC) solution revenues will grow to $8.5bn by 2018, with ETC becoming a main source of funding for both Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS) and Vehicle-to-X (V2X) cooperative infrastructures, according to a new report from ABI Research (Chart 1). But, says the report’s author, ABI Research vice president and practice director Dom

    Getting more for less from traffic data
    Collection of traffic and transit data has grown significantly, combining with advances in connectivity and computational modelling to good effect. Desire to do more with less – to make budgets go further – has helped create a boom in the collection and study of traffic and transport data. Studies are becoming longer, greater in number and further in-depth as more intelligence is sought, plus, transportation agencies are looking to make processes of data collection less costly, or more efficient.

    Do we need a new approach to ITS and traffic management?
    In an article which has implications for the European Electronic Toll Service, ASECAP's Kallistratos Dionelis asks whether the approach we currently take to major ITS system implementations is always the best or healthiest. I was asked recently to write a paper on the technology-oriented future of transport. To paraphrase, I started with: "The goal of European policy-makers is to establish a transport system which meets society's economic, social and environmental needs, satisfying in parallel a rising dema
