If
vehicles are safe, efficient and comfortable, it is all because of automotive
embedded systems and electronics.
What is an Embedded System?
“Any sort
of device which includes a programmable computer but itself is not intended to
be a general-purpose computer” – Marilyn Wolf
Electronic
innovation has made extraordinary steps and these days the nature of electronic
parts—execution, power, and unwavering quality—empowers utilizing them notwithstanding
for basic frameworks. In the meantime, the diminishing expense of electronic
innovation permits them to be utilized to support any function in a car.
Generally,
a vehicle contains a dozen to nearly 100 electronic control units (ECUs). There
are two main modules of electronic systems i.e. information-entertainment and hard-real-time
control of mechanical parts.
The different type of
microcontrollers used in embedded systems are:
- 8-bit
or 16-bit Microcontroller
- Serial
and Parallel Input-Output
- Analog
to Digital and Digital to Analog Conversions
- Flash
Memory and PROM
- Signal
generators and Timers
Why automotive embedded
system is in a great demand?
Growing
vehicles sales
An extensive range of
industries are involved in the designing, development and selling automobiles.
Every year the sales and production of vehicles are increasing globally due to
growing demand of consumers. Every vehicle manufactured in equipped with
embedded system, this will drive the Global
Automotive Embedded System Market.

The most commonly used
embedded system in a vehicle include adaptive cruise control, airbag,
telematics, traction control, in-vehicle entertainment system, emission control
system, parking system, navigation systems, collision sensors, climate control,
radio, anti-lock braking system etc.
Increasing
Focus on Vehicle Safety Features
The demand for safety
features in vehicles has been incorporated by different companies based on the
requirement by the end user and further motivated by the regulations imposed
the regulatory bodies. During recent years, the number of traffic fatalities
has come down throughout the developed economies. These number are becoming
stagnant and the whole credit goes to widespread use of safety systems. To
include safety feature in the vehicles, OEM’s are focusing on technological
advancements which includes many sensors and advanced technical systems in the
vehicle. To inbuilt all the sensor and technical features in vehicle the need
of embedded system arises. These technological advancements are further
fuelling the global
automotive embedded system market.
Major example of active
safety system could be recognised as pedestrian recognition, adaptive speed
control, blind spot detection, lateral collision warning, cooperative lane
changing indication, merging assistance, car breakdown warning, integrated car
safety, etc. These features are anticipated to minimize the accident and
accident related deaths. This is one of the major reason for the growth in the demand
for embedded system market globally.
Increasing
demand of automation
As the demand for safety and
security of drivers and passengers along the roadside is increasing, the demand
for connected car devices is also soaring globally. The connected car devices
are also considered helpful in analysing accidents and breakdown data to
provide valuable inputs both to car makers and road infrastructure designer and
designer. Moreover, projects such as GALILEO, EGNOS, European Emergency Call in
Europe, Brazil’s SINIAV & SIMRAV, Russia’s ERA GLONASS United State’s
Dynamic Speed Harmonization (SPD-HARM), Queue Warning (Q-WARN), Cooperative
Adaptive Cruise Control (CACC), etc. will be enhancing the demand for connected
car devices across the globe.
The increasing demand for
connected car will drive the automotive embedded system market globally due to
increasing demand for sensors and engineering systems in the vehicles.
Growing
Automotive Component Industry
The automotive component
industry stood at USD 2922 Billion and expected to increase over the next five
years due to increasing production and sales of vehicles every year. Every
vehicle produced require components and embedded complete devices often
including hardware and mechanical parts and it controls many devices. This will
boost the demand for automotive embedded system market.
Conclusion: Global
Automotive Embedded System Market is expected to grow at a CAGR of over 7%, on
the back of growing vehicle fleet and rise in the number of electric vehicles
across the globe. The increasing demand for advanced safety and convenience
systems, and rising trend of vehicle electrification in are some of the key factors
fuelling the growth of Automotive Embedded System Market during the forecast
period as well.
