Abstract

Driver assistance systems require fundamental information from sensors. In order to meet the high standard of safety and availability of these systems, the product quality is essential. Therefore, the selection process plays an important role during the purchasing process in the automotive industry. The surrounding and specific application defines the sensor design and manufacturing process of the sensor.

For advanced system functions, the requirements of sensor data content and precision are increasing continuously; however, there are still some values which have not changed since the first ABS was introduced into the market. Even though the function remains relatively unchanged, the technology itself is changing. This opens up the possibility for the introduction of new features.

This chapter provides a general overview of the key figures related to sensors for safety systems with details to the design and with special considerations to the fitment in the vehicle.
