Benefits of Car GPS Tracking

Image
  Types of GPS Trackers and How Do Trackers Work In Cars There are three main types of car GPS trackers: plug in, hardwired and battery operated. Plug in GPS trackers, as its name suggests, are plugged into the car’s port to determine its location. Hardwired GPS trackers, on the other hand, are directly wired into the car. There is another type of GPS tracker known as battery operated GPS tracker which functions irrespective of the  car’s power system . The battery in such GPS trackers are  an independent power source that performs its functions as long as there is power in the battery.  All these GPS trackers are able to determine latitude and longitude of any location via a process known as trilateration. The word “tri” means three and trilateration means determining location via three points. In GPS trackers, these three points are satellites which establish a connection and then help to retrieve GPS tracking data. Here is a list of popular  car tracking devi...

How electric vehicles virtually eliminate engine noise

Image
  How electric vehicles virtually eliminate engine noise Electric vehicles operate almost silently compared to gas-powered vehicles. By eliminating the internal combustion engine, EVs remove the primary source of vehicle noise pollution. Traditional vehicles have internal combustion engines, which produce noise from several sources, including the engine, exhaust, and transmission. In contrast, EVs have no internal combustion engine with hundreds of moving parts; they use electric motors powered by rechargeable batteries, which do not require any form of combustion or engine noise. The only noticeable sounds from EVs are from the tires contacting the road, wind resistance, and auxiliary equipment like air conditioning compressors. At low speeds, EVs produce nearly no noise. Even at higher speeds, EVs generate significantly less noise than comparable gas-powered vehicles. Benefits of reduced noise pollution As we transition to quieter electric vehicles, the reduction in noise polluti...

Electronic Stability Control: How Chassis Control Ensures Safety?

Image
Understanding Electronic Stability Control (ESC) Electronic stability control, sometimes referred to as ESC or ESP (Electronic Stability Program), is a state-of-the-art safety feature that is currently standard on most modern cars. Helping drivers maintain control of their vehicles is its main goal, particularly in challenging driving conditions. Considering Vehicle Stability Vehicle stability is necessary for safe driving. Vehicle instability can lead to hazardous situations like sliding, rollovers, or loss of control, especially in slick conditions like rain, snow, or uneven road surfaces. ESC was developed as a solution to these issues and significantly reduces the risk of accidents caused by instability. How Electronic Stability Control Works ESC uses a combination of sensors, microprocessors, and actuators to continuously analyze the vehicle’s behavior and adjust in real time to preserve stability. Here is how it works: Microprocessor Analysis:  The microprocessor of the ESC s...

V2X: The future of vehicle communications

Image
  Vehicles are about to become a lot more communicative: with other road users, with the infrastructure they pass on their journeys, with cloud-based services, and even with the energy grid. This communication should make vehicles more economical to operate, as well as enabling new capabilities. Making such communication possible, though, will mean solving a series of design challenges in a rapidly evolving regulatory environment and complex engineering context. The auto industry, and the regulators that enable it, have come up with a series of acronyms to denote the various ways in which connected cars will communicate with other entities. V2V  stands for vehicle to vehicle communications. It implies a future in which cars, vans, trucks, and even motorbikes will communicate directly with each other to share information about road conditions and hazards, and to collaborate on managing traffic. V2I  stands for vehicle to infrastructure communications and refers to techniqu...

Automotive Oil

Thermal Management in Automobiles

Image
Automobile Electronics Miniaturization and systems integration lie at the forefront of automobile electronics design, which is itself driven by a demand for vehicles with higher fuel efficiency, improved safety, seamless connectivity, and autonomous functionality. Subsequently, circuit design has evolved to meet demands for higher energy output. With smaller electronic components and a higher energy density, thermal management becomes a concern. Since the smaller devices have less surface available to act as a heatsink, dissipating heat from these systems remains an operating and safety challenge. Thermal management is an evolving branch of vehicle design that uses advanced  thermal interface materials  (TIMs) to facilitate better heat conduction away from circuits. Thermal Management Inside Vehicle Cabins Some of the main heat-generating electronic components inside the passenger compartment are: Vehicle Infotainment Systems These highly integrated, powerful systems with mult...
