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.

    February 3, 2012
    Although urban traffic control and parking management are inextricably linked in so many ways, there remain fundamental differences which undermine closer integration. Car parking guidance systems can have a significant, positive impact on congestion in town and city centres, however conflicting business models still stand in the way of the more profound integration of car parking management and Urban Traffic Control (UTC) systems.

    Smart cities must rely on a mobility mix, real-time predictive models and collaborations, argues PTV’s Miller Crockart. Transport is reaching a new frontier and cities are at the forefront of the trend: for many urbanites, mobility no longer equals a privately-owned vehicle. They want on-demand services that cater for their individual mobility needs efficiently and sustainably - whether that is shared bikes or autonomous electric vehicles. Private car ownership will not drop overnight. The smooth

    Paul Godsmark gives his views on what the advent of autonomous vehicles would mean for the wider society. Further to your article ‘Driver not required…’ in the Jan/Feb edition of ITS International which gave some great background to autonomous road vehicle (ARVs), I feel that the bigger picture is needed to aid understanding. There is a ‘technology freight train’ heading our way that is going to transform our roadways but we don’t seem to be aware of it and, therefore, are in no hurry to react.
