Embedded System- Definition?


An embedded system is a
combination of hardware and
software which creates a
dedicated computer system
that performs specific, predefined tasks and which is
encapsulated within the
device it controls (if it is part
of a larger device).

Air Bags : Principle of function

It is from the Newton's 2nd law


of motion
AIR BAGS are among the most
important safety
improvements added to cars
and light trucks in recent
years, providing extra
protection for front-seat
occupants in head-on crashes.
And of late, every passengers
protection.

Event Data Recorder-EDR or the The "Black


Box"

The Event Data Recorder (EDR)


in an automobile is based upon
the sensors and microprocessor
computer system that are used
to activate the airbag in the
vehicle during a crash.
The SDM, which is controlled by
a microprocessor, has multiple
functions:

It monitors the air bags


components;

Anti-lock Braking System(ABS)

Up until the seventies, hitting


the brakes too hard could
lead to an accident.
On preventing wheel lock-up:

Reduces the total braking


distance as far as possible
Increase vehicle stability
Without ABS
The vehicle in no longer steerable when
driver hits the brake
With ABS
The vehicle remains steerable even during

Principle of functioning of an ABS

The function of an anti-lock brake system is to minimize


skidding by releasing brakes on wheels(it does so when
wheels are moving slowly)
An ABS is placed between brakes and hydraulic pump
It uses sensor for each wheel ,so that the speed of the
wheel can be measured,then these speeds are used by
the abs to identify the amount of hydraulic fluid pressure
that needs to be varied to reduce skidding

Automatic Stability Control

The function of ASC+T system is to improve the stability


of the car during its movement.
Gear shifting ,ignition timing ,throttle and different brake
are the four systems controlled by ASC+T system
It plays an important role different tire snows operation.
This can be turned ON or OFF by the driver.

Automatic Stability Control

Intelligent Cruise Control


Cooperative Adaptive Cruise Control with Collision Warning (CACC
+ CW)
CACC: Cruise at given speed when the road is clear (cruise
control) otherwise follow the car in front, using radar (adaptive)
and/or communications (cooperative).
CW: Warn the driver when an object is being approached too fast,
or is too close
How it works :
Uses forward-looking radar, installed behind the grill of a vehicle,
to detect the speed and distance of the vehicle ahead of it.
Can automatically adjust speed in order to maintain a proper
distance between vehicles in the same lane

Drive by wire

Drive-by-Wire replaces mechanical connections push


rods,rack & pinion, steering columns, overhead cams,
cables by mechatronic connections sensors, actuators,
embedded microprocessors, control software

Conclusion : Its a connected drive
