Intelligent automotive actuator control & communication techniques

Objective

Design of an intelligent rear light that can be marketed at an acceptable price to be fitted into a production car within a few years.
Utilising existing applications of microprocessor control, CAN communication and MOSFET technology to enable the control and intelligence requirements.
Research and model the caracteristics of the physical weather variants that exist around the rear light which includes rain, fog, mist sunlight and dirt.
Miniaturisation of existing weather visibility sensors to enable them to be integrated into a final prototype rear light system.
Intelligent environmental sensor fusion including self diagnostic of fault conditions.
High volume assembly of LED`s, sensors and microprocessor components into the rear light cluster.
LED light performance twice that of a conventional filament bulb to allow automatic brightness control.

INTACT will develop an intelligent vehicle rear light system capable of automatically controlling its brightness dependent on the environmental conditions and the state of the rear light lens which will also be fault tolerant related to lamp failures by incorporating dual role functions in each light source. This new generation of rear lights will be based on LED illumination technology with the intelligence an control being achieved by utilizing the latest integrated micro-systems combination with CAN communication as well as new innovations in the miniaturization of existing weather sensors.
