Automotive Security You connect

Thursday, June 25th, 2009

Each day, almost everything around us becomes a little smarter and a little more security’ In our age of information and technology, new digital and electronic components continue to make our lives easier and more secure at home, at work and on the road’

Some gadgets and widgets, such as nose hair trimmers, could easily disappear without much hassle’ There are many smart tools, furthermore, that make our life easier and safer on a daily basis’

Our huge world of “smart” is governed by the new technologies of automotive electronics’ Antilock brakes, electronic stability control and other vital functions are excellent examples of the information security and automotive electronics’

Thanks to recent developments in the automotive industry, has been a huge increase in the number of electronic devices installed in the assembly plants’ Here is an example of how cars have evolved rapidly by electronic means: the Apollo 11 mission, a trip to the moon and back, with only 150 kilobytes of internal memory’ Today, the type of CD player, however, using a huge 500 kilobytes of memory just to keep your favorite songs skip’ This music is not one iota of impact on the electronic form of a performance car for the benefit of drivers’

The term used to describe the technology of communication systems of the car is “telematics” and was first used to describe the mix of telecommunications and information technology or information technology’ The telecommunications industry recently commanded an increasing amount of attention from car manufacturers’ predicts that the telematics industry will become “the” surrender to technology since the mid-1990s’ Telemática increase overall sales of processors and the industry car in a major player in mobile technology’

In fact, these optimistic forecasts on the scales at a little less than expected’ More measures came into play, the first industry screening of more than $ 40 billion skin was almost half’

In any case, these figures indicate an abandonment of the technology of telematics’ Car manufacturers have in fact considered an average of $ 2000 in the electronic systems of all vehicles leaving the line’ This is a huge increase over the $ 110-per-car in the 1970 budget’ The increased expenditure is taken into account in any of improving engine performance and improved entertainment systems, security and safety devices’ All electronic components to work together to provide drivers with more comfortable, more efficient cars and warrants’

Some of the most intelligent security systems and automotive electronics:

CAN, or Controller Area Network

Your car does not work in a team, works with a network of computers’ The controller area network between all the computers together’ This type of system is similar to those used in computers for home and business, known as local area networks (LAN)’ The network controller links from your car in many separate systems, allowing them to communicate’ These systems are integrated critical systems, such as engine management, cruise control and antilock brakes with less demanding applications, such as automatic seat controls and windows’

Increased energy efficiency

Diminishing resources and rising fuel prices have forced car manufacturers to increase their supply of fuel efficient vehicles’ Smart cars are using new automotive electronics, to create vehicles that burn fuel more efficiently’ This is most evident with the EFI or electronic fuel injection’ Hybrid vehicles have taken this technology one step further with electronic devices that allow drivers to automatically switch between gas and electric motors’

Safety devices of confidence

There are two types of devices designed to protect the safety of the driver and passengers: the passive and active devices’

* Active: These devices never stopped working to ensure the safety of the driver and passengers’ DSR (dynamic steering response), TCS (Traction Control) and ASR (acceleration slip regulation) are examples of active safety’ Not noticed that these operating systems, but they are always safer to create a route’ Active sense of the road and driving conditions and adjust your car’s performance accordingly’ The researchers credited ESC (Electronic Stability Control) with the reduction of vehicle skids’

* Liabilities: Although most visible and seemingly simple, passive devices are also controlled by chip and auto safety’ The evolution of electronics and technology have greatly improved the airbag deployment in recent years’ The first car airbags to deploy too early or too late and have little or no benefit for the driver and passengers’ Now, cars have more advanced systems that can sense that the conditions in May lead to a high impact crash’ Seat adjustment systems and airbags are automatically deployed to minimize the impact and reduce the degree of injury to the driver and passengers’

When you consider that security progress has been made in a decade, you will agree that today’s cars are miles above their predecessors’ Our cars offer much more than an elevation of point “A” to point “B”‘ Chip car, every trip is as comfortable, safe and secure as possible’
