Model-based design enables the automatic generation of final-build software from models for high-volume automotive embedded systems. A software engineering framework is needed to support this. This paper presents a framework of processes, methods, and tools for the design of automotive embedded systems. A steer-bywire system serves as an example.

The automotive market has been a key driving market segment for the development of micro-electromechanical systems (MEMS). This paper provides an historical perspective on MEMS in automotive applications, examples of devices in production, requirements for the applications, infrastructure and specific engineering disciplines that have been developed to address these requirements, and a glimpse ...

Kansei Engineering was developed as a consumer-oriented technology for new product development. It is defined as "translating technology of a consumer's feeling and image for a product into design elements". Kansei Engineering (KE) technology is classified into three types, KE Type I, II, and III. KE Type I is a category classification on the new product toward the design elements. Type II util...

New product development (NPD) is described in the literature as the transformation of a market opportunity into a product available for sale. In the automotive industry, within the context of ISO/TS16949:2002 (the automotive quality management system international standard),  these related to the product realization process (PRP) which consists of Three main phases such as planning, Implem...
