Emerging Automotive In-Cabin Sensing Solutions for Safety and Comfort

White Paper Overview

Automotive cabin sensing is a rapidly evolving area with a range of applications using a combination of sensors and intelligent algorithms. Today two key aspects are driving the development of in-cabin sensing technologies.

Firstly, regulations to improve occupant safety are being realized. For example, both Euro NCAP standards and European Commission (EC) regulations mandate the use of driver monitoring systems (DMS) by 2022, and the U.S. National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) recommends DMS in semi-autonomous cars.

The second key aspect is comfort enhancement for passengers—for example, through emotional sensing. Also, OEMs have detected this is a differentiation factor and will use leading-edge innovation technologies to address it.

This white paper from Analog Devices explores the applications and technologies addressing the increased demand for in-cabin sensing.
