Mechatronic systems
Assistance features for maximum safety
Integrated mechatronic systems provide new features: New control concepts for actuators and new procedures for evaluating sensor signals in the electronic component are integrated into these systems.
Integrated mechatronic systems for new features
Spatial and functional integration of sensors, actuators and signal-processing electronic circuitry allows new, optimized systems features. This allows some mechanical components to be eliminated. Examples include regulated load assumption and shift-by-wire for the automatic transmission. Hydraulic servo systems for steering are being replaced by electric motor-driven power steering with superimposed steering angle. In addition to increasing convenience and optimizing efficiency, electronic controls provide new operating concepts for the human-machine interface and active intervention options to enhance safety.
Intelligent modules and systems
Assistance systems help drivers safely master critical situations. In consideration of the driving dynamics, external conditions and actions of the driver, the assistance systems continuously regulate the drive, steering and suspension. Self-regulating ZF components offer significant potential for increasing driving safety. The basis for this is provided by intelligent control software in combination with state-of-the-art sensors and actuators.
