How does an acceleration sensor determine vehicle behavior?

High Accuracy MEMS Accelerometer

Acceleration sensor has a very wide range of applications in the fields of automobiles. The reason why automobiles can have such a high sensitivity operating performance is mostly due to the contribution of acceleration sensor. In the whole process of the car running, the acceleration sensor can also accurately judge the various important factors produced by the car in its running. So how does an acceleration sensor judge a vehicle's behavior? Below, let us understand together!

The principle of automobile acceleration sensor:

Automotive acceleration sensors are usually installed on the chassis of the vehicle and measure acceleration by detecting the movement of the chassis. Automotive acceleration sensors are typically made using technologies such as piezoelectric ceramics, ferroelectric ceramics, or micro-electro-mechanical systems, which convert mechanical motion into electrical signals and send them to the vehicle electronic control unit (ECU) for processing. A vehicle's ECU can use signals from sensors to adjust engine output and braking force to maintain vehicle stability and safety.

How does an acceleration sensor determine vehicle behavior?

Vehicle movement behavior is a direct reflection of drivers' driving habits. With the maturity of GPS technology, when applied to the vehicle, the speed and position information of the vehicle can be obtained more accurately. The inertial navigation function with the acceleration sensor and gyroscope is gradually improved. But the speed and position information alone can not identify the vehicle's movement behavior, such as whether to accelerate, decelerate or turn. Existing technology for vehicle longitudinal, lateral and vertical and horizontal pendulum, roll and pitch motion is measured by different sensors, rather than at the same time by the same sensor at the same time, need to undertake the corresponding vehicle motion signal was substantial control and information fusion processing, thus to reduce the vehicle movement state of real-time measurement. At the same time, the error of the measurement system will be enlarged, many currently applied detection schemes still need to be matched with A/D signal conversion module to carry out the next stage of fusion processing calculation after the signal conversion, which further increases the complexity of the system and consumes the processing time.

How does an acceleration sensor determine vehicle behavior? See here, believe that you also have their own answer to this question! Acceleration sensor to keep the normal operation of the vehicle is to provide an important layer of protection for the operation of the car. In the normal driving process of the vehicle, the motion parameters of the objects generated can be detected by the sensor, and the acceleration sensor can judge the behavior of the vehicle based on this, so as to better realize the intelligent control of the car.

Application of automotive acceleration sensor:

1. Vehicle dynamic control

The vehicle acceleration sensor can help the vehicle dynamic control system adjust by measuring the acceleration, speed and direction of the vehicle to ensure the stability and safety of the vehicle. For example, in the event of a sideswipe or loss of control, the control system can automatically adjust the vehicle's engine output and braking force, thereby preventing the vehicle from having an out-of-control accident.

2. Autonomous driving

The acceleration sensor of the car is also one of the components of the automatic driving system. The autonomous driving system can measure the acceleration and direction of the vehicle through sensors to achieve autonomous navigation and obstacle avoidance. In the automatic driving mode, the control system of the vehicle can autonomously adjust the speed and direction of the vehicle according to the signal of the sensor, so as to achieve automatic driving.

3. Vehicle safety

Automotive acceleration sensors can also be used to improve vehicle safety. For example, in a vehicle collision, the acceleration sensor can measure the acceleration and direction of the vehicle and other information, so as to determine the collision intensity and direction of the vehicle, and help the airbag system to adjust to protect the safety of the vehicle occupants.

Automobile acceleration sensor is one of the most important components in modern automobile, which plays a vital role in vehicle dynamic control, automatic driving and vehicle safety. Automotive acceleration sensors are widely used in modern vehicles, which can help the vehicle control system achieve autonomous adjustment, autonomous navigation and obstacle avoidance functions, thereby improving the safety and stability of the vehicle.
