A proportional-integral-derivative (PID) controller is a control loop mechanism widely used in industrial control systems and other applications that require continuously modulated control.

Stringent emission standards for vehicles and developments in electric powertrain products are driving the battery electric powertrain market. The Global Electric Powertrain Market is projected to reach US$ 191.4 Billion by 2027.

A rise in the sale of electric and hybrid vehicles across the globe and an increase in technological advancement are driving the growth of the global automotive drivetrain technology market.

From the lowliest hatchback to the sleekest supercar, every motor vehicle has one thing in common: a powertrain. It’s the collection of components—the engine, transmission and driveshaft—that work together to get the vehicle in motion.

The decision to move InnoTrans from September 2020 to 27 to 30 April 2021 has received widespread support from the mobility sector. Following its postponement until April 2021 InnoTrans has met with positive feedback all round.

Plenty of automakers have announced or shown off self-driving vehicles. But the majority of these companies are not creating their own self-driving hardware and software systems in-house; they’ve either acquired specialized firms to create these systems for them or are outsourcing the work to third parties. Some of the most respected leaders in this growing market segment are in the Europe, Middle East, and Africa (EMEA) region.

GuardKnox, a provider of computing solutions for the automotive industry, has taken the current paradigm shift in this branch as an opportunity to launch a new Cybertech Tier.

Currently, much maintenance is either time-based or usage-based. By contrast, predictive maintenance can result in significant cost savings that can justify transformation of entire maintenance systems.

As the world reels from the coronavirus epidemic, the way people move has been severely impacted. From essential travel to shared mobility and leisure trips, everything has been changed. It can all be summed up with three overarching themes: societal threats, economic threats, and climate threats.

Have you ever wondered how connected cars would be able to operate driver-assist systems without a cellular connection? It's the same for vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) or vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I) communication, designed to enhance road safety. One protocol under development is DSRC—Dedicated Short Range Communications.

The swell of the middle class has driven the increased use of vehicles, whether personal cars or shared mobility options. With that rise in traffic, the needs to control traffic flow and increase safety are major factors for governments worldwide. That's where Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS) come into play, and it's a rapidly growing market. Here's where the market is right now, and where it's headed.

For station inspections, track maintenance, junction, and railyard security, and even train driving, drones may offer new capabilities and efficiencies that could afford them a long-term role in rail operations going forward. Still, unpredictable conditions, such as imperfect weather or low visibility, might limit their utility in some circumstances.

For some time now, passengers of various rail systems worldwide have been able to purchase smart tickets, either as smart cards that incorporate a magnetic strip or a radio frequency identification/near-field communication (RFID/NFC) chip, or as apps and data that reside on smartphones.

Almost overwhelmingly, the highest priority for developers of autonomous vehicle (AV) platforms is safety. Consistently, both AV startups and established car companies alike cite this mandate as the most important quality for their vehicles to possess.

It's expected that semi- and fully-autonomous vehicles will be increasingly adopted in the automotive industry. If each carmaker does their own thing, though, it presents a monumental challenge to integrate the technology safely in societies. Thus, the United Nations drafted a framework for automated and autonomous vehicles.
