Developing a Fuel Level Sensor concept for the evolving automotive industry
Developing a Fuel Level Sensor concept for the evolving automotive industry
Samenvatting
The twenty first century is characterised by the ubiquitous rise of developments throughout the globe’s industries. With accelerating changes in the fields of technology, energy and computing, the automotive industry is home to a wide range of developments. Through research, the main trends giving rise to such developments within the industry, have been identified as: sustainable mobility, market proliferation, and vehicle space & safety optimisation.
The traditional Fuel Level Sensor is one of the vehicle components that will need to adapt, to remain suitable for these industry changes that lie ahead.
This research paper presents an exploration and understanding of the current Future Level Sensor developed by Robert BOSCH GmbH, together with an overview of the trends occurring throughout the automotive industry and how these will impact the changing requirements that the Fuel Level Sensor needs to fulfil.
To determine these requirements, several interviews, discussions, and co-creation sessions were conducted with industry experts, and extensive literature was reviewed. Thorough analysis of the data gathered enabled the future of the automotive industry to be depicted and presented in the form of a timeline. Moreover, the problems faced with traditional Fuel Level Sensors were identified. This allowed for the depiction of requirements to develop an improved Fuel Level Sensor concept that will be suitable for the evolving market, and will eliminate the issues faced with traditional Fuel Level Sensors.
