Automotive Specific Application of Sensor-Systems with Suitable Technologies and Appropriate Housings

If a sensor shall be applied in motor vehicles, all the components of the sensor must fulfil special requirements.

Particular attention must be paid to the installation of the sensitive element and to the adaptation to which the sensor is to be put.

The objective of this paper is to illustrate these demands more closely using three different types of sensors as examples: a displacement sensor, a pressure sensor and an acceleration sensor.
