Exploring alternative sensing
technologies
In addition to leveraging sensor fusion, OEMs and system
suppliers are exploring the use of alternative
sensing technologies to further reduce costs.
Technologies using Eddy Current and xMR (magnetics)
are emerging as potential alternatives for resolvers,

for measuring rotary position.
The adoption of these alternatives will primarily be

temperature and humidity sensors, enabling a vehicle HVAC system
to automatically activate windshield defogging and wiper systems.
Sensor fusion also refers to using sensors, high-speed data connectivity,
artificial intelligence and machine learning to provide situational
awareness and act on changing environmental and operational conditions.
For SAE Level 2 to Level 5 automated driving functionality, sensors
help enable varying levels of automation. Lidar, cameras, radar
and vision technology facilitate vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) and vehicleto-infrastructure
(V2X) communications, increasing process efficiency
and reducing the need for sensors to 30 or fewer. Fully autonomous
vehicles use sensor fusion to collect and integrate data, recognize pat28

evaluated based on their cost-effectiveness relative to
performance. Depending on the end application and
performance requirements, these solutions may be
adequate and, as a result, cannibalize existing business.
For example, in systems where a secondary eMotor
serves as a backup, the performance requirements
may be lower than for the primary motor. In such cases,
opting for a sensor technology that presents a moe
cost-effective solution, even with a slightly lesser performance,
could represent the better strategic and
economical choice.
High-resolution wheel-speed sensors have four
times the resolution of legacy wheel-speed sensors.
Improved resolution increases vehicle-position accuracy
in areas where GPS is unavailable and supports
enhanced ADAS features such as lane keeping, lane
departure and vehicle positioning. The improved accuracy
facilitates quicker updates on vehicle movement,
aiding in maneuvers such as automated parking
in tight spaces. When it comes to eBraking, systems
