Vehicles are an integral part of today’s digital world. In the future, intelligent software and hardware will offer more and more innovative functions for connectivity, automation, customization and highly efficient propulsion systems. Bosch develops and manufactures intelligent key solutions for both hardware is software of modern vehicles: braking systems, steering systems and components for electric propulsion on the one hand, sensors, on-board computers and software solutions on the other. The company will present all‘IAA Mobility 2023 in Munich its latest solutions for safe and sustainable mobility. Bosch hardware, software and new services for the mobility sector will be on display at stand D10 in hall B3.
Bosch and smart mobility solutions
Currently in the mobility sector the focus is on the development of components for high-performance vehicles that are also compatible with software from other suppliers. Bosch offers hardware whose intelligence can be embedded both in the components themselves and, for example, in the vehicle’s central computers.
Invisible, but present everywhere: I semiconductors they are an essential part of technological devices: as one of the top ten semiconductor manufacturers in the automotive segment, Bosch continuously invests in research and development and in the expansion of its worldwide semiconductor production network.
The portfolio includes integrated circuits, MEMS sensors (microelectromechanical systems), power semiconductors and power modules. For automakers defining the electrical/electronic (E/E) architectures of their vehicles, Bosch offers the ability to precisely tailor the functional scope of semiconductors to the specific architecture.
The new radar sensors
Sensors for precise detection of the surroundings: This type of detection is indispensable for autonomous driving functions. The new ones radar sensors from Bosch enable assisted and autonomous driving functions at SAE levels 0 to 3. For the sixth generation of these radar sensors, Bosch has incorporated artificial intelligence.
This new generation offers better performance in distance measurement, high speeds and angular resolution; as a result, even two-wheeled vehicles can be reliably detected across the entire field of view. At the IAA Bosch will also be presenting a new generation of ultrasonic sensors.
Thanks to artificial intelligence-based height classification, these sensors offer more reliable sensing capabilities and are able, for example, to estimate the approximate height of an obstacle. In addition, tripling the echoes makes these sensors even more sensitive, enabling fast and reliable detection of pedestrians and poorly reflecting objects.
The portfolio is completed by new ones camera housings. Image analysis no longer takes place in the camera itself, but in vehicle central computers, such as the ADAS integration platform from Bosch. Available in 3 and 8 megapixel variants, as well as a 12 megapixel version for level 4 applications, the camera housings are the latest in image sensor technology.
