Sensor Systems Simulations: From Concept to Solution

by Willem Dirk van Driel, Oliver Pyper, Cornelia Schumann

Overview

This book describes for readers various technical outcomes from the EU-project IoSense. The authors discuss sensor integration, including LEDs, dust sensors, LIDAR for automotive driving and 8 more, demonstrating their use in simulations for the design and fabrication of sensor systems. Readers will benefit from the coverage of topics such as sensor technologies for both discrete and integrated innovative sensor devices, suitable for high volume production, electrical, mechanical, security and software resources for integration of sensor system components into IoT systems and IoT-enabling systems, and IoT sensor system reliability.

• Describes from component to system level simulation, how to use the available simulation techniques for reaching a proper design with good performance;
• Explains how to use simulation techniques such as Finite Elements, Multi-body, Dynamic, shastics and many more in the virtual design of sensor systems;
• Demonstrates the integration of several sensor solutions (thermal, dust, occupancy, distance, awareness and more) into large-scale system solutions in several industrial domains (Lighting, automotive, transport and more);
• Includes state-of-the-art simulation techniques, both multi-scale and multi-physics, for use in the electronic industry.
