With the trend toward achieving ever higher levels of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.md-elektronik.com\/en\/autonomous-driving\/\">autonomous driving<\/a> in the future, the need for driver assistance systems (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.md-elektronik.com\/en\/adas\/\">ADAS<\/a>) and therefore the number of data connections and required data rates will increase significantly. In particular, the increased use of sensors (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.md-elektronik.com\/en\/lidar\/\">lidar<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.md-elektronik.com\/en\/radar\/\">radar<\/a>) and cameras requires fast, high-precision data transmission. The resolution of cameras is continuously increasing and the HD quality used today will continue to develop. Data must be transmitted to the control units and evaluated in real time. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.md-elektronik.com\/en\/latency\/\">Latency<\/a> times must be very low to ensure safety in critical systems such as the collision avoidance system. In order to avoid accidents and possible personal injury and material damage, high latency times are not an option here.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Fast, secure data transmission between vehicles and infrastructure (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.md-elektronik.com\/en\/v2x\/\">V2X<\/a> communication) is also of vital importance. An immediate response to environmental influences is essential for the combination of intelligent traffic management systems and highly automated driving to be successful. In this way, potential traffic jams and traffic obstructions can be avoided from the outset.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The integration of highly comprehensive infotainment systems will also cause a rapid increase in the required data transfer rates, especially when it comes to streaming media content to high-resolution 8K displays. Not only must the display itself function correctly at all times, but multimedia data traffic to and from the device must be smooth in order to avoid pixelated images or a jerky display on the monitor.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Safety and sustainability in the supply chain<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Due to the increasing importance of data transmission solutions in modern on-board networks, the reliable supply of corresponding components has become a key focal point in the automotive industry. Suppliers have been facing enormous challenges in ensuring stable supply chains, especially since the coronavirus pandemic. The traditional &#8220;just-in-time&#8221; approach, which aims to keep stock as low as possible, has been severely challenged by the crisis. Bottlenecks in the supply of semiconductors and other critical materials has led to production shortfalls. To minimize these risks, companies are increasingly relying on &#8220;right shoring&#8221; strategies, where production and procurement sites are relocated to regions with a favorable cost\/risk ratio. In addition to the classic &#8220;nearshoring&#8221; to Mexico or Eastern European countries, countries such as Vietnam, Thailand and Brazil are also being considered as alternative locations for the production of vehicle components. Such diversification aims to prevent bottlenecks and reduce dependence on a single region such as China. In addition, a wide portfolio of additional alternatives (2nd or 3rd source) is used as a backup in case of bottlenecks. Another important aspect of modern procurement management is the digitization of the supply chain. Companies are increasingly investing in technologies that enable real-time monitoring of supply chains. These measures provide transparency throughout the entire process, from raw material suppliers to logistics processes.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>OEMs are currently in the process of establishing common guidelines for suppliers. The guiding principle for improving sustainability in the supply chain places particular emphasis on the implementation of a closed circular economy and the raw materials used. Here, the main focus is placed on reducing the quantity of waste, reusing materials, and recycling. OEMs have even included this in their delivery conditions and specifications, which means that it will become more and more important for suppliers to conserve resources through reuse and introduce material-saving designs.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Dealing with electromagnetic interference (EMC) <\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>The EMC issue on vehicles with conventional combustion engines is minor, as there is only a risk of the battery discharging during the start-up process. However, EMC issues are occurring with an alarming frequency in electrically powered vehicles with powerful electric motors. One reason is the different voltage levels of the built-in converters. In the worst case scenario, electromagnetic incompatibility can lead to the serious failure of electrical equipment. For example, the airbag may be triggered if certain mobile phones are held near the steering wheel. In order to increase compatibility, twisted-pair and shielded cables are preferred. As an additional solution, passive suppression chokes and combination capacitors can be used on the control unit and high-voltage side. During the component development stage, a greater focus is being placed on EMC compatibility to address the issue and optimize the component as early as the design phase, if necessary.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Trends and developments in automotive data transmission<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>In order to map these data rates according to aspects such as material and compactness as well as performance and safety in the vehicle, the supplier industry is faced with a series of complex challenges.<\/p>\n<p>Applications such as 4K displays or high-resolution 4K cameras require suitable connector solutions that are capable of transmitting data rates as high as 20 Gbit\/s, depending on the resolution. When it comes to data connectors, the trend is therefore shifting from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.md-elektronik.com\/en\/hsd\/\">HSD<\/a> technology to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.md-elektronik.com\/en\/automotive-ethernet\/\">automotive Ethernet<\/a> technologies and connector solutions such as H-MTD and GEMnet.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, the automotive Ethernet sector is seeing a change from 4-wire to 2-wire cables. While the maximum frequency range for HSD technology was 3 GHz and 3 Gbit\/s, the spectrum for the newer connector systems extends to a maximum of 20 GHz and 56 Gbit\/s. On certain variants, space requirements are also reduced by up to 70%. This significant change can also be seen in the area of \u200b\u200bcoaxial connectors, where much smaller, more powerful mini-coaxial systems are replacing the FAKRA connector system. The best known mini coaxial connector systems are almost certainly ADTCon-MC from MD ELEKTRONIK, MATE-AX from TE and HFM from Rosenberger. The frequency band for FAKRA was still only 6 GHz, but increased to up to 20 GHz with Mini <a href=\"https:\/\/www.md-elektronik.com\/en\/coax\/\">Coax<\/a>. <\/p>\n\t<div id=\"gap-590658641\" class=\"gap-element clearfix\" style=\"display:block; height:auto;\">\n\t\t\n<style>\n#gap-590658641 {\n  padding-top: 10px;\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/div>\n\t\n\n<div class=\"row\"  id=\"row-768179815\">\n\n\n\t<div id=\"col-1271991523\" class=\"col small-12 large-12\"  >\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-inner text-center\"  >\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\n\t<div class=\"img has-hover x md-x lg-x y md-y lg-y\" id=\"image_329507927\">\n\t\t<a class=\"image-lightbox lightbox-gallery\" title=\"\" href=\"https:\/\/www.md-elektronik.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Bild-Blog.jpg\">\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"img-inner dark\" >\n\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"900\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/www.md-elektronik.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Bild-Blog.jpg\" class=\"attachment-original size-original\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.md-elektronik.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Bild-Blog.jpg 900w, https:\/\/www.md-elektronik.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Bild-Blog-300x100.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.md-elektronik.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Bild-Blog-768x256.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\t\t\n<style>\n#image_329507927 {\n  width: 100%;\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/div>\n\t\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 80%;\">Reduction in space requirements: 4-way mini coaxial for 4 individual FAKRA connectors  <\/span><\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n\n<\/div>\n<h3><strong>Developments and innovations<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>The current situation regarding the development of data transmission solutions in the automotive industry can be divided into three main areas:<\/p>\n<div class=\"accordion\">\n\n\t<div id=\"accordion-3381951797\" class=\"accordion-item\">\n\t\t<a id=\"accordion-3381951797-label\" class=\"accordion-title plain active\" href=\"#accordion-item-zone-architecture\" aria-expanded=\"true\" aria-controls=\"accordion-3381951797-content\" >\n\t\t\t<button class=\"toggle\" aria-label=\"Toggle\"><i class=\"icon-angle-down\"><\/i><\/button>\n\t\t\t<span>Zone architecture<\/span>\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t<div id=\"accordion-3381951797-content\" class=\"accordion-inner\" style=\"display: block;\" aria-labelledby=\"accordion-3381951797-label\" >\n\t\t\t\n\n<p>The further development of cross-domain communication of fieldbuses via a gateway reduces the number of cables and therefore the weight, which achieves greater flexibility and expandability in the individual zones of the on-board network.
