Preface
The idea of a conference dedicated to microsystems for automotive applications
was bom at the Innovation Centre North Germany in early 1995 in order to
improve communications in the supply chain ..
A conference programme was drawn up a few months later with the support of H.
Ehlbeck. The main topic of the frrst conference was sensors for safety applications.
This event revealed the need for a discussion platform for microsystems in the
automotive field and the conference 'Advanced Microsystems for Automotive
Applications' was held subsequently in 1996 and 1998. The conference has grown
from a event similar to a workshop to a large conference including contributions
from Europe, Japan and the United States. Global suppliers and manufacturers as
weil as SME's and research institutes present their technology and solutions. This
proceedings volume includes both oral and poster presentations from the 1998
conference. The technical topics extend from microsystems for safety applications
and systems for driver support to intelligent systems for the power train. The main
emphasis has shifted from the pure microsystem, such as the accelerometer, to the
system as a whole. Thus the papers presented during the conference deal with all
aspects of a smart system: sensors, communication, signal evaluation and
evaluation strategies and packaging.
Future restraint systems will utilize a wide variety of microsensors, e.g.
accelerometers, yaw-rate-sensors, subsystems for occupant detection (passenger
presence, -position -size and -mass), precrash-sensors and intelligent inflator
technology for depowered airbags. Some smaller companies, as weil as the well
known suppliers, present their developments within the system context. The
inclusion of the presentation on pressure sensor mats is a good example for the
system oriented approach of the conference; although the mat is not fabricated
with state of the art microsystem technology it is an important component for
intelligent occupant detection systems and the paper fits weil into the sessions on
passenger protection.
Driver support systems have always been a major topic of the AMAA conference.
The AMAA '98 discusses systems for electronic imaging and vision enhancement.
State of the art systems realised with CMOS or CCD technology improve driving
safety (e.g. in night vision systems or in blind spot monitoring sensors) and offer
an unparalleled degree of convenience for the driver (e.g. automatic park systems
etc. ) Initial applicatons are approaching the stage of preliminary production. The
blind spot monitoring device which is described in this volume could, for example,
be produced for evaluation in 1998 and large scale production could commence
before 2001.
Although initial products will be available soon, electronic imaging for automotive
applications is a very challenging task. Various technological questions have tobe
solved to allow for cost effective solutions even for non-luxury cars. The TFA or
VI Preface
"Thin Film on ASIC" technology discussed in one of the papers could be an
interesting approach for meeting the target prices. Since the various vision systems
are not as close to application as the passenger restraint systems the corresponding
papers provide a discussion of more general aspects of the technology involved.
Another important field of application for microsystems is engine management and
the power train. The use of micromachined sensors enables engineers to monitor a
variety of important parameters. The intelligent power train session as weil as
some of the posters reflect important components like chemical sensors, innovative
pressure sensors and flow sensors. Furthermore, control strategies for both direct
injection engines and transmission systems are discussed.
We would like to thank the members of the Honorary Committee and the Steering
Committee for their support. Their assessments provided the basis for the selection
of papers for the conference and the proceedings. The authors provided excellent
papers and we would also like to thank them for their co-operation. Finally, the
editors wish to thank H. Johansson, B._ Kühl and P. Mulvanny for many fruitful
discussions during the preparation of the conference. Without their support this
book and the conference would not have been possible.
