Author Description

Sensors are used in all areas of a motor vehicle: in engine management systems, in vehicle safety systems and in comfort and convenience systems. As well as detecting operating states, sensors can also sense the vehicle's environment. The measurement principles of the different sensor groups (position sensors, velocity sensors, pressure sensors, etc.) are explained in this publication. Examples show how these measurement principles are applied in different sensor types. This booklet describes sensory classification, reliability, error types and tolerance requirements, sensor measurement principles, and sensor types. (Color; 165 pages)
