Advanced Microsystems for Automotive Applications 2009 Meyer, Gereon; Valldorf, Jürgen; Gessner, Wolfgang (Eds.) 2009, ISBN: 978-3-642-00744-6 The upcoming change of costumers’ preferences and state regulations towards safety, sustainability and comfort of a car is calling the automotive industry to make the necessary innovations available in order to accelerate its pace on the way out of the economic crisis. Smart miniaturized systems and ICT based solutions are considered the key enablers of future mobility technologies like novel power train concepts including electrical traction, cooperative safety systems, advanced driver assistance systems as well as car-to-car and car-to-infrastructure communication. The International Forum on Advanced Microsystems for Automotive Applications (AMAA) has been an exclusive showroom of R&D activities in this domain for more than a decade. In 2009 its topic is "Smart Systems for Safety, Sustainability, and Comfort". The papers published in this book were selected from more than 40 submissions. Highlights include contributions on the scope of two European projects related to the Green Car, EE-VERT aiming at the development of energy-efficient vehicles for road transport, and E3Car doing research on nanoelectronics as a key enabler of electrical vehicles. Furthermore, several authors are reporting first results of the INTERSAFE-2 project that is dealing with cooperative intersection safety. Likewise prominent topics are a detector for left-behind occupants, novel driver assistance systems and several other highly integrated components for various applications in the automobile.

Microsystems for Automotive Applications 2008 Valldorf, Jürgen; Gessner, Wolfgang (Eds.) 2008, ISBN: 978-3-540-77979-7 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 powertrainconcepts 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 [..] Keywords: Microsystems, Automotive Electronics, AMAA, Roadmap Technology, Roadmap application, Automobile, Powertrain measurement, HMI Contents: Technologies and Materials.- Functions and Applications.- Safety.- Powertrain.- Comfort and Human Machine Interface (HMI).- The Networked Vehicle. |

Advanced Microsystems for Automotive Applications 2007 Valldorf, J., Gessner, W. (Eds.) 2007, ISBN: 978-3-540-71324-1 From the beginnings of the International Forum on Advanced Microsystems for Automotive Application (AMAA), enormous progress has been made in reducing casualties, emissions and in increasing comfort and performance. In many cases Microsystems provided key functions for this progress. Although the issues addressed in this 11th AMAA Forum have not changed significantly (safety, powertrain, comfort, etc.), considerable shifts can be stated in technological paradigms and approaches. There is a coincidence of the AMAA objectives and those of EPoSS, the European Technology Platform on Smart Systems Integration, contributing intensively to the development of automotive-specific smart systems. You will find a series of the EPoSS items in the programme of the 11th AMAA, which continues to be a unique exchange forum for companies in the automotive value chain. The publication in hand also reflects these issues. It is a cut-out of new technological priorities in the area of microsystems-based smart devices and opens up a mid-term perspective of future smart systems applications in automobiles. Keywords: Microsystems, Automotive Electronics, AMAA, Roadmap Technology, Roadmap application, Automobile, Powertrain measurement, HMI Contents: Technologies and Materials.- Functions and Applications.- Safety.- Powertrain.- Comfort and Human Machine Interface (HMI).- The Networked Vehicle. |

2006 Valldorf, J., Gessner, W. (Eds.) 2006, ISBN: 3-540-33409-2 Looking back 10 years when the International Forum on Advanced Microsystems for Automotive Application (AMAA) started, enormous progress has been made in reducing casualties, emissions and in increasing comfort and performance. Microsystems in many cases provided the key functions for this progress. Although the issues the event concentrated on didn’t change significantly (safety, powertrain, comfort, etc.), considerable shifts of technological paradigms and approaches can be stated. The future of microsystems will consist of integrated smart systems which are able to diagnose a situation, to describe and to qualify it. They will be able to identify and mutually address each other. They will be predictive and therefore they will be able to decide and help to decide. Smart systems will enable the automobile to interact with the environment, they will perform multiple tasks and assist a variety of activities. Smart systems will be highly reliable, often networked and energy autonomous. There is a coincidence of the AMAA objectives and those of EPoSS, the European Technology Platform on Smart Systems Integration, contributing intensively to the development of automotive-specific smart systems. You will find a series of the EPoSS items in the programme of the 10th AMAA, which continues to be a unique exchange forum for companies in the automotive value chain.

2005 Valldorf, J., Gessner, W. (Eds.) 2005, ISBN 3-540-24410-7 Since 1995 the annual international forum on Advanced Microsystems for Automotive Applications (AMAA) is held in Berlin. The event is offering a unique opportunity for microsystems component developers, system suppliers and car manufacturers to show and to discuss competing technological approaches of microsystems based solutions in vehicles. The event?s design, character and intention remained unchanged, although becoming more mature during the last years. The AMAA facilitates technology transfer and co-operation along the automotive value chain. At the same time it is an anten- na for newest tendencies and most advanced industrial developments in the area of microsystems for the automobile applications. The book accompanying the event has demonstrated to be an efficient instrument for the diffusion of new concepts and technology results. The present volume including the papers of the AMAA 2005 gives an overview on the state-of-the-art and outlines imminent and mid-term R&D perspectives. The 2005 publication reflects ? as in the past ? the current state of discussions within industry. More than the previous publications, the AMAA 2005 ?goes back? to the technological requirements and indispensable developments for fulfilling the market needs. The large part of contributions dealing with sensors as well as ?sensor technologies and data fusion? is exemplary for this tendency. In this context a paradigm shift can be stated. In the past development focused predominantly on the detection and processing of single parameters originating from single sensors. Today, the challenge increasingly consists in getting information of complex situations with a series of variables from different sensors and in evaluating the information. Smart integrated devices using the information deriving from the various sensor sources will be able to describe and assess a traffic situation or behaviour much faster and more reliable than a human being might be able to do.

2004 Valldorf, J., Gessner, W. (Eds.) 2004, ISBN: 3-540-20586-1 Over the past years enormous progress has been made in the microsystems area in transforming research results into marketable products. Nearly all economic sectors did benefit from these developments.Automobiles today are inconceivable without microsystems. New and improved functions in the car related to safety, performance, comfort and emissionreduction ? being in many cases the unique selling propositions of a new automobile product - are in the majority of cases based on microsystems. ABS, break assistance, stability control and further safety features, applications in air-condition systems, powertrain and engine management are only some examples for the indispensable role of microsystems in automobiles. Microsystems and their underlying technologies are in many cases even the driving forces in order to satisfy new customers? requirements. This book published in occasion of the International Forum of Advanced Microsystems for Automotive Applications 2004 reflects the state-of-the-art of automotive R&D particularly in the area of automotive safety. By that it follows the priorities set by the European automotive industry and public authorities as for example the European Commission or the German Federal Ministry for Education and Research. The core of the book consists of the papers presented at the 8th AMAA international conference, taking place in March 2004 in Berlin, a now regular event dealing with a modern and promising field. The contributions to AMAA 2004 focus on automotive safety (both preventive and protective), powertrain (online measurement and control of engine and transmission subsystems), comfort and HMI (systems to enhance the comfort of passengers and human machine interface issues), and the networked vehicle (all aspects of intra car systems and ambient communication networks). Keywords: Microsystems, Automotive Electronics, AMAA, Roadmap Technology, Roadmap application, Automobile, Powertrain measurement, HMI Contents: Technologies and Materials.- Functions and Applications.- Safety.- Powertrain.- Comfort and Human Machine Interface (HMI).- The Networked Vehicle. |

2003 Valldorf, J., Gessner, W. (Eds.) 2003, ISBN: 3-540-00597-8 Microsystems are an important factor that contribute to an automobile model's success. To meet the customer's desire for safety, convenience and vehicle economy, and to satisfy environmental standards, microsystems play a critical factor. Microsystems applications (MST) have already resulted in improved performance and better value for money. But the advances implemented reveal only the beginning of a revolution in the vehicle sector, which aims at a complete transition from the mechanically driven automobile system to a mechanically based but ICT-driven system. The selected contributions from AMAA 2003 treat safety (both preventive and protective), powertrain (online measurement and control of engine and transmission subsystems), comfort and HMI (systems to enhance the comfort of passengers and human machine interface issues), and networked Vehicle (all aspects of intra car systems and ambient communication networks). Keywords: Microsystems, Automotive Electronics, AMAA, Roadmap Technology, Roadmap application, Automobile, Powertrain measurement, HMI Contents: Technologies and Materials.- Functions and Applications.- Safety.- Powertrain.- Comfort and Human Machine Interface (HMI).- The Networked Vehicle. |
