What are the classifications of automotive sensors?
1 Answers
Automotive sensors can be classified by physical quantities into displacement, force, speed, temperature, flow, gas composition sensors, etc. By working principle, they can be categorized into resistance, capacitance, inductance, voltage, Hall effect, photoelectric, grating, thermocouple sensors, etc. Sensors serve as the input devices for automotive computer systems, converting various operational conditions of the vehicle, such as speed, temperature of various media, and engine operating conditions, into electrical signals for the computer. Common types of automotive sensors include: throttle position sensor, intake pressure sensor, crankshaft position sensor, air flow sensor, knock sensor, temperature sensor, engine speed sensor, vehicle speed sensor (SPD), etc.
