Vehicle sensors maintain the safety of a car and the people within it, and monitor a wide range of conditions, such as temperature, CO2 emission levels and speed.
The autonomous car market was valued at $1.55 trillion in 2022 and is anticipated to achieve a growth rate of 10.3% from 2023 to 2032, because of increased emphasis on vehicle safety and efficiency.
The £2m industry wide project, Simulation for Connected and Autonomous Vehicle Sensing (Sim4CAMSens), includes Claytex, rFpro, Syselek, Oxford RF, the University of Warwick (WMG), National Physical Laboratory, CSA Catapult, and AESIN.
The project will test autonomous vehicle sensors in a range of harsh environments such as adverse weather conditions.
The tests will provide real-world data to improve the performance of future autonomous vehicle sensors, ensuring they are accurate, reliable and robust.
