Combisensor From SensorDynamics

SensorDynamics has launched the SD755 micromechanical combisensor which integrates an automotive integrating gyrometer and accelerometer in a single package. Both sensors transmit their signals over a shared SPI interface that facilitates further processing as well as minimising development time and system costs. The device is ideally suited for applications such as electronic stabilising systems in cars that match the actual road curvature with the angle lock. When there is a difference detected, single wh

RSSSensorDynamics has launched the SD755 micromechanical combisensor which integrates an automotive integrating gyrometer and accelerometer in a single package. Both sensors transmit their signals over a shared SPI interface that facilitates further processing as well as minimising development time and system costs. The device is ideally suited for applications such as electronic stabilising systems in cars that match the actual road curvature with the angle lock. When there is a difference detected, single wheels are systematically slowed down to avoid skidding. Evaluation boards are available.

    US Automotive Logistics (USAL) is to trial Car Delivery Network’s new electronic logging device (ELD), which captures truck and driver performance, GPS and hours of service data and transmits it back to CDN’s cloud servers. CDN has developed the new technology to support automotive carriers in the US, as both electronic logging and electronic reporting of hours of service (HOS) will soon be a legal FMCSA requirement. The ELD devices are connected to the truck’s CAN bus and driver’s tablet via Bluetoo

    As the Drive Me project enters its second year, Volvo Cars is moving rapidly towards the aim of placing 100 self-driving cars in the hands of customers on selected roads around Gothenburg by 2017. The key to making this unprecedented leap is a complex network of sensors, cloud-based positioning systems and intelligent braking and steering technologies. Volvo Cars’ Autopilot system is designed to be reliable enough to allow the car to take over every aspect of driving in autonomous mode. The main challenge i

  • Millions of cars at risk due to flaw in keyless entry systems, say researchers
    August 15, 2016
    Researchers at the University of Birmingham in the UK have found that millions of cars could be vulnerable to theft, due to a flaw in keyless entry systems in many models. The findings, presented at the 25th USENIX Security Symposium in Austin, Texas, highlight two case studies that outline the ease at which criminals could gain access to numerous vehicles with relatively simple and inexpensive methods. Both attacks use a cheap, easily available piece of radio hardware to intercept signals from a key
