Cover of Navigation and Intelligent Transportation Systems
Navigation and Intelligent Transportation Systems, contains the top 40 Papers covering the technical and functional aspects of these systems including: 3D mapping, route guidance, cellular phone access, electronic compasses, and the history and future of navigation systems. The book also covers the important role of navigation in intelligent Transportation Systems concerned with traffic management, traveler information, vehicle control systems, commercial vehicle operations, and public and rural transportation systems. The book concludes with a future chapter on the Intelligent Vehicle Initiative, a joint program between the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the Federal Highway Administration, and the Federal Transit Administration.

Cover of Passenger Safety and Convenience Systems
Safety and convenience systems in automobiles have been around for decades, but the growth in this area was greatly accelerated by the development of electronic systems in the 1980's. In fact, electronics have been the key enabler of both passenger safety and convenience systems, adding many valuable features to standard automobiles. 'Passenger Safety and Convenience Systems' is made up of 61 technical papers and articles, written in the last decade, covering a variety of electronic systems for driver and passenger safety and convenience. Many papers in this book could arguably be considered in both categories because they provide the driver/passenger with multiple functions of safety and convenience. Some examples include keyless entry, security systems, night vision, and more. The section on Safety Systems includes the latest technology on smart air bags, seat belt pretensioners, crash sensors, night vision, side impact sensing, and the X-by-wire system. The section on Convenience Systems includes papers covering keyless entry and operation systems, automatic climate control, central tire inflation systems, and biometric systems.
This book concludes with a chapter entitled Future Development in Electronically Controlled Body and Safety Systems.

Cover of Electronic Transmission Controls
The evolution of the automotive transmission has changed rapidly in the last decade, partly due to the advantages of highly sophisticated electronic controls. This evolution has resulted in modern automatic transmissions that offer more control, stability, and convenience to the driver. Electronic Transmission Controls contains 68 technical papers from SAE and other international organizations written since 1995 on this rapidly growing area of automotive electronics. This book breaks down the topic into two sections. The section on Stepped Transmissions covers recent developments in regular and 4-wheel drive transmissions from major auto manufacturers, including Daimler Chrysler, General Motors, Toyota, Honda, and Ford. Technology covered in this section includes: smooth shift control automatic transmission efficiency mechatronic systems fuel saving technologies shift control using information from vehicle navigation systems fuzzy logic control. The section on Continuously Variable Transmissions presents papers that demonstrate that CVTs offer better efficiency than conventional transmissions.
Technologies covered in this section include: powertrain control fuel consumption improvement development of a 2-way clutch system internal combustion engines with CVTs in passenger cars control and shift strategies CVT application to hybrid powertrains. The book concludes with a chapter on the future of electronic transmissions in automobiles.

X-By-Wire Automative Systems

by Ronald K. Jurgen

Published 28 February 2009

This book contains 46 papers covering the past ten years (1999-2008) of research on various by-wire systems, looking at the challenges faced by design engineers as traditional hydraulic or mechanical linkages are replaced by electronic control systems.

The book also includes editor Ronald K. Jurgen's introduction ""Replacing Hydraulics and Mechanics with Electronics"" and a concluding section on future trends in X-By-Wire systems.

Cover of Distributed Automative Embedded Systems
Automotive embedded systems are distributed throughout modern vehicles using multiple vehicle networks partitioned across a variety of different electronic modules. As more complex control systems are used in automobiles, more distributed automotive embedded systems will be needed. This book contains 88 papers covering the past seven years (2001-2007) of research on the varying aspects of distributed embedded systems. Topics covered include: Controller Design/Development, Software Design/Development, Communication Networks/Systems, Model-Based Hardware/Software/Network Developments, System Testing/Diagnostics, Implementation Examples . The book also includes editor Ronald K. Jurgen's introduction (""Distributed Embedded Systems: The Key to Future Automotive Electronics"") and a concluding section on the trends impacting future distributed automotive embedded systems.

Cover of Automative Microcontrollers
This book contains 49 papers covering the past eight years (2000-2007) of research on automotive microcontrollers, providing a look at innovative design trends and the latest applications. Topics covered include: Microcontroller Design Concepts, Microcontroller Networking, System Testing/Diagnosis, Implementation Examples. The book also includes editor Ronald K. Jurgen's introduction (""New Microcontroller Architectures Spark Innovative Applications"") and a concluding section on future developments in automotive microcontrollers.

Cover of Multiplexing and Networking
Multiplexing - the simultaneous transmission of more than one signal over a single wire - was originally used to eliminate the need for bulky wiring harnesses. Today, multiplexing and networking are being used in many automobiles to monitor performance and rapidly pass data in real time among the car's various subsystems. 'Multiplexing and Networking', the eighth book in the Progress in Technology Automotive Electronics series, contains 70 landmark papers on multiplexing, networking considerations, and protocols. These papers address the many concerns associated with designing and choosing an electronic network including: media bandwidth, electromagnetic (EMC) compatibility, fault tolerance, serviceability, environmental requirements, network architecture, and cost.
Contents include: Multiplexing - performance modeling, maintenance issues, EMC in multiplexing, and data reduction in multiplex systems Networking Considerations - high-speed vehicle networks, Body Electronics Area Network (BEAN), real-time software, and data bus communication capabilities Protocols - J1850 Protocol, J1939 Protocol, time-triggered Protocol, Controller Area Network (CAN) Protocol, and other protocols The next generation vehicle architecture.

Cover of Sensors and Transducers

Sensors and Transducers

by Ronald K. Jurgen

Published 1 January 1997
The technology surrounding sensors and transducers is advancing at a rapid pace. New developments continue to make headlines, demonstrating the importance of these revolutionary components to the automotive industry. In this second edition of Sensors and Transducers, the latest advances are explored in a comprehensive collection of 105 recent papers, none of which were included in the book's first edition. Editor Ronald Jurgen offers an informative introduction in Section I of Sensors and Transducers, clearly explaining the overall format and layout of the book. Section II, Sensors and Their Applications, contains papers that Jurgen has grouped in a unique, beneficial manner - by the parameters they measure, rather than their corresponding applications. Modern Sensor Technologies are explored in Section III, emphasizing newer design approaches that are potentially applicable across the board. Section IV, A look to the future offers a glimpse into where sensors and transducers have yet to lead us.
