Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) systems are widely used as the standard solution for conveniently accessing vehicles by remote control. The RKE system consists of a key fob RKE transmitter and in-vehicle Remote Function Actuator (RFA) module. The RFA module receives a signal from the RKE transmitter to perform remote control functions, and transmission range is an important requirement to evaluate the performance of the RKE system. To accelerate product development cycles and reduce engineering costs of physical test, a computer aided engineering (CAE) method has been developed to predict transmission range of the RKE system. Firstly, the detailed computational electromagnetic (CEM) models of the transmitting and receiving antennas were developed to ensure that the far field radiation patterns were in good agreement with test data. Secondly, the full vehicle meshed model and the articulated human model were introduced to the CEM models to reflect the physical test environment. Lastly, the

Mechanism to Identify a Legitimate Vehicle User in Remote Keyless Entry System

2022-01-013703/29/2022

The advancements of the automotive system in all the aspects from safety to user experience brings never ending list of electronics components into the system. One of the pure critical components in providing the vehicle safety is the digital key or wireless vehicle entry systems. This component is responsible for protecting all the other components of the vehicle and the vehicle itself from thieves and illegal usage of the vehicle. The compromisation of this critical component is equivalent to a compromisation of the entire vehicle along with some legal implications on the vehicle owner. There are numerous additional systems in the automotive electronics enhances the security of this critical digital key/wireless vehicle entry system in protecting the vehicles from attackers. However, there is no component available in the market which does user/owner authentication considering its impact and criticality on both the vehicle and its owner. Either the lost key or the stolen key in the

Nikola looks to accelerate production, hydrogen infrastructure

20TOFHP08_0808/01/2020

Nikola Corp.'s recent merger with VectoIQ Acquisition Corp., a publicly traded special-purpose acquisition company, is expected to help accelerate the company's technology and business plans. In early June, the company's combined shares began trading on the Nasdaq under the new symbol “NKLA.” Shortly following the announcement, Nikola's Elizabeth Fretheim, head of business development, national accounts, spoke during an edition of CALSTART's weekly Clean Commercial Transportation Update webinar about the news and other developments.

Cellular-key solution augments commercial-vehicle security

20TOFHP02_0802/01/2020

Connectivity's many benefits are matched by security concerns, which has prompted a number of security specialists from many fields to focus their attention on commercial vehicles. Irdeto, which provides security tools and services to disparate industries, is addressing commercial vehicles with cell phone-based keyless entry technology and cybersecurity services. The company, founded in 1969, lists diverse firms like Charter Communications, Comcast, 20th Century Fox and Alibaba Cloud as customers. As OEMs ramped up their connectivity offerings, Irdeto established its Connected Transport division in 2016. That division addresses overall cybersecurity while also offering a keyless entry system, Keystone, that uses cell phones to give users more control over vehicle access.

A Low Profile Loop Antenna Design for Automotive Applications

2017-01-169603/28/2017

This paper proposes a novel antenna design for automotive communication applications. The antenna design combines a resonant Alford loop with folded dipole elements to allow for efficiencies that are higher than electrically small loop antenna designs. The Alford loop provides the horizontal polarization and omnidirectional pattern coverage on the horizon which is desired for remote keyless entry and other narrowband automotive applications. With the use of folded dipole elements, the design allows for low profile mounting desired by automotive styling.

Peugeot Fractal demonstrates a new take on sound design

15AUTP11_1011/01/2015

Peugeot used the 2010 SR1 concept to introduce its i-Cockpit touchscreen-based system, designed to control heating and ventilation, navigation, audio, connectivity, and the trip computer. The first-gen system entered production in the 2012 Peugeot 208. The company took the i-Cockpit concept one stage further in the Fractal electric urban coupe concept at the 2015 IAA Frankfurt Show, to include sound. The concept plays a “sound signature,” created by DJ and sound designer Amon Tobin, which is triggered when the driver opens the car using the smart watch remote locking system. “Behind this concept of an electric car-that is not really new, there was this question that electric cars emit no sound,” explained Matthias Hossann, Head of Concept Cars and Advanced Design at Peugeot.

Building Secure, Survivable Infotainment and Telematics Systems

2006-21-001610/16/2006

As infotainment and telematics systems become increasingly connected to the outside world, questions arise about reliability and security. Can new software be downloaded, or existing software updated, without compromising system performance and availability? Can the existing behavior of the system be guaranteed when the user downloads content or applications from an untrusted source? Meanwhile, the software in these systems is becoming extremely complex, introducing additional concerns about performance, reliability, security, and time to market. This paper examines several methods, including recent advances in software partitioning, that not only safeguard against both internal and external threats, but also allow systems to reliably support new content and services. The net result: systems that can dynamically adapt to evolving consumer requirements, without compromising the reliability and security that both consumers and automakers demand.

Alternatives to Keyways in Motion Systems

TBMG-1003310/01/2006

The age-old tradition of using shaft keys in mechanical drives has served the power transmission industry well for many years. When appropriately sized, it guarantees that virtually no relative motion can take place between a shaft and its respective shaft hub in a unidirectional continuous motion application. Today’s increasing demands for speed, precision, and small size have changed the standard for shaft locking devices, and challenged motion components manufacturers to develop new methods of keyless shaft locking for dynamic loading. As motors and drives become increasingly capable of rapid acceleration and rotary positioning accuracy in smaller and smaller packages, backlash, stress distribution, and balance have all needed to be addressed in shaft locking devices, in many cases rendering the shaft key obsolete.

Novel On-Glass Mounting Technique for Integrated Antenna Electronics

98238709/29/1998

This paper describes the disadvantages of state-of-the-art way of connecting the electronics to integrated screen antennas. A new technique to mount the amplifier module directly on the glass is presented here. A simple frame is glued to the glass. It serves as the holding device for the actual amplifier, which is easily „clicked” into the frame without an additional fixing provision. The numerous advantages with respect to RF properties, handling in the assembly plant, modularity on car and platform level, upgrade possibilities, repair effort, etc. are discussed in detail.

A New State-of-the-Art Keyless Entry System

98038102/23/1998

A new keyless entry system, for automotive security and comfort applications, has been developed. The system utilises a single chip transponder for vehicle immobilisation, keyless entry and remote control functionality. The transponder system can be embedded into a key fob or an ISO smart card. System security and communication speed is provided by an advanced anti-collision protocol in combination with sophisticated challenge response and uni-directional protocols. The system can be activated by using either a push-button transponder, where long range access to the vehicle is provided, or by touching an actuator near the door or trunk. Due to the inductive coupling between the transponder and the vehicle mounted antennas, the vehicle door or trunk opens on successful verification as if there were no locks. Additionally, inside the vehicle, the transponder can be used as an immobiliser.
