SENSORIZED CABIN FOR THE VEHICLE OF THE FUTURE
FUTURE INTERIORS
Motivation
The FUTURE INTERIORS project focuses on developing and integrating innovative solutions that transform the electrical and acoustic systems of vehicle cabins, improving the robustness and waterproofing of connections between PCBs and cables, even in textile-integrated applications. Additionally, it promotes the development of acoustic transducers to enhance sound quality and integration into advanced driver assistance systems, explores sustainable materials such as natural fibers, and incorporates sensor technologies for real-time monitoring, ensuring a safer, more efficient, and environmentally friendly interior design.
Objectives
Develop integrated and innovative solutions to improve and make vehicle interiors more sustainable. This will be achieved through the research and optimization of the robustness and waterproofing of PCB-to-cable connections, the design and integration of acoustic transducers in cabins via textile and composite applications, the use of natural fibers to provide sustainable and aesthetic materials, and the incorporation of advanced pressure and light sensors to create intelligent, safe, and efficient interior environments.
