Bosch recently conducted its Beyond Mobility 2.0 seminar, where it showcased technologies beyond the mobility business with smart solutions based on growing infrastructure and consumer demand. The company focusses on energy efficient solutions and connected products, while pursuing a “3S” strategy of Sensors, Software, and Services. Bosch noted that conventional business areas are shifting to digital mode by transforming businesses beyond mobility, as a result of impetus from the Indian government amidst structural reforms.
Over the last few years, the Bosch Group has said its ‘beyond mobility solutions’ have gained 35 % and contributed significantly to its turnover. The company’s initiatives in India are paving the way for its foray into new verticals with digital solutions in the core, be it connected industry, energy-efficiency, smart home or other areas. Bosch is also said to be growing continuously due to successful collaboration of its cross-divisional teams, engineering heritage and strong presence in the Indian market.
The topics covered at the event included digitalisation and connectivity of various products and solutions offered by the company, in addition to smart security, connected transportation, energy solutions, smart factories, and automation and robotics. Bosch said it is transforming the face of the nation’s security systems by providing connected solutions with big data analysis to increase people’s safety. Bosch’s security solutions such as intelligent cameras, public address systems and other technologies are helping cities solve urban transportation and address the safety issue by providing seamless digital platforms, it noted.
Soumitra Bhattacharya, Managing Director, Bosch Ltd and President, Bosch Group, India, said the company’s business is undergoing profound transformation, from a hardware focus to models focussing more on services and data. Bosch has the capabilities to develop greenfield technologies that can power industries in a new-age manner, he added. “The key to success will be forging partnership with local players to drive connectivity forward and adopting a localised strategy to meet consumer demand,” Bhattacharya noted.

Sound Generation For Enhanced Road Safety
With an ever-increasing number of fully electric and hybrid vehicles entering the market, we are witnessing a change in the acoustic experience in and around the car. The silent nature of the electric powertrain means that other road users miss the familiar acoustic cues that warn them of an approaching vehicle. To remedy this situation, Harman is working on various noise management solutions.
OBJECTIVE ASSESSMENT OF THE SAFETY CONTRIBUTION OF TODAY'S AUTOMOTIVE HEADLAMPS
Good lighting makes a major contribution to road safety. In 2011, the International Commission on Illumination (CIE) presented an evaluation system for headlamps that can objectively assess the quality of illumination and glare limitation. New light sources like LEDs and lighting functions (glare-free high beam, partial high beam) have been available for several years, so that an extension of the proven CIE method is necessary, which takes into account, among other things, changed switch-on and service lives of new lighting functions and represents a generally understandable evaluation system. An evaluation system presented in the following by the Technische Uni versität Darmstadt, which was developed by an encompassing expert commission, is intended to provide representative data and enable an objective evaluation of headlamp performance.
RAPIDO RE-INNOVATES TO CATER TO POST COVID-19 LAST MILE CONNECTIVITY
The rapid pace of urbanisation in the country has witnessed cities expanding and subsuming surrounding villages and smaller towns, evolving into Tier II and III cities.
FUNCTIONAL SAFETY STANDARDS TOP PRIORITY FOR FUTURE AUTOMOTIVE DEPLOYMENT
Increasing levels of electronic content in vehicles result in a large amount of software that is required to run the scenes behind the mechanical aspects of a vehicle. Electronic systems in automobiles are part of every section, from the powertrain to comfort and convenience systems as well as all types of safety equipment. This makes electronics and the software running these systems a critical part of the equation for future mobility solutions. In addition, putting standards in place to measure methods of developing, testing and functioning of such electronic systems also becomes highly relevant.
“BYD'S EV STRATEGY TO ENCOMPASS MOST FORMS OF TRANSPORTATION NEEDS IN INDIA”
The country’s electric vehicle (EV) ecosystem is grappling with a plethora of challenges even as it is striving to wriggle itself out of the ‘nascent stage’ tag. In an exclusive chat with Auto Tech Review, Zhang Jie Ketsu, Executive Director, BYD India shares his perspective on the current EV scenario and how the company intends to progress faster in the Indian automotive industry
SAFETY IN ELECTRIC AND AUTONOMOUS CARS – SIMULATION OF COMPLEX CRASH SCENARIOS
Electric and autonomous vehicles allow for novel seating arrangements and packaging strategies, presenting new safety challenges. Physical crash testing must be supplemented with virtual simulation to ensure vehicle safety on shorter development cycles. With its Simcenter Madymo MBS software, Siemens provides improved runtimes and the Active Human model, enabling accurate and rapid occupant safety analysis in complex crash scenarios.
