The document discusses embedded systems in automobiles. It defines embedded systems and describes their characteristics. It then discusses several key automotive systems that use embedded technology like airbags, anti-lock braking systems (ABS), and event data recorders (EDRs). Airbags use sensors to detect crashes and actuators to deploy the airbags at varying levels depending on crash severity. ABS uses wheel speed sensors to detect lockup and controls braking pressure to prevent skidding. EDRs permanently record crash data to help with accident reconstruction. Embedded systems are critical components in modern automotive safety and electronic features.

- 2. Embedded System- Definition? An embedded system is a combination of hardware and software which creates a dedicated computer system that performs specific, pre- defined tasks and which is encapsulated within the device it controls (if it is part of a larger device).

- 7. Characteristics of embedded systems • Sophisticated functionality. Often have to run sophisticated algorithms or multiple algorithms. Often provide sophisticated user interfaces. • Real-time operation. Must finish operations by deadlines. Hard real time: missing deadline causes failure. Soft real time: missing deadline results in degraded performance. Many systems are multi-rate: must handle operations at widely varying rates. • Low manufacturing cost. • Low power. • Designed to tight deadlines by small teams.

- 12. Principle of function • It is from the Newton’s 2nd law of motion • It basically restrains the continuous motion of the passenger, by giving a soft surface to land on. • 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

- 17. Automobile Accident Reconstruction or the Event Data Recorder-EDR or the The “Black Box”
- 18. Event Data Recorder-EDR • 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: • (1) it determines if a severe enough impact has occurred to warrant deployment of the air bag; • (2) it monitors the air bag's components; • (3) it permanently records information.

- 22. Conclusion • The EDR is not a replacement for the accident reconstructionist. • The EDR can be a source of additional data to confirm the conclusions of the accident reconstructionist. • The EDR may serve as an effective tool to impeach conclusions reached by accident reconstructionists who fail to consider the data generated by the EDR. • A lot of trial lawyers are going to be very busy litigating all of the issues the “black box” will generate during the coming years.
- 23. Anti-lock Braking system(ABS)
- 24. Why ABS ? Up until the seventies, hitting the brakes too hard could lead to an accident. The reason: When the coefficient of slip between tires and road surface is too low, hitting the brakes can cause wheel lock-up. The vehicle is no longer steerable and goes into a skid. • In particular, this danger is present on wet or slippery road surfaces with different levels of grip between tires and road
- 25. On preventing wheel lock-up Reduce the total braking distance as far as possible Increase vehicle stability Maintain steerability even in case of all-out braking
- 26. Its Principle of functioning Wheel-speed sensors detect whether a wheel is showing a tendency to lock-up In case of a lock-up tendency, the electronic control unit reduces the braking pressure individually at the wheel concerned High-speed correction of the braking pressure up to shortly before the lock-up threshold The brake-fluid return together with the closed-loop brake circuits makes this a safe, reliable, and cost-effective system

- 29. Advantage • A gain for driving safety The vehicle remains steerable, even in case of panic braking Shorter stopping distances on practically all road surfaces • Many accidents are avoided
- 30. The Difference With ABS Without ABS The vehicle The vehicle is remains no longer steerable even steerable during panic when the braking driver hits the brake
- 33. Dynamic Traction & Stability Control
- 34. Introduction • The traction control system is required to prevent driver error from overloading any of the four wheels and causing slip, through either throttle or brake application • Drastically improve vehicle performance and safety by maintaining optimal wheel traction in all road conditions
- 35. Its Principle • The basic principle is always the adaptation of the wheel torque to the coefficient of friction between the wheel and the road surface. • To this end, the systems make use of different intervention methods In the wheel brakes In the drivetrain control
- 36. The Principle of Functioning of TCS with brakes Without TCS: The powered wheel spins – the wheel does not accelerate. Snow or ice/ Asphalt With TCS: Intervention in the brake Improved traction, the vehicle accelerates

- 40. Intelligent Cruise Control
- 41. 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. x2 x1 r Vehicle 2 Vehicle 1
- 42. Why this is hard… Around curve Rapid deceleration Elevation changes Dense traffic Cut-ins
- 43. 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
