AST sensor solutions for smart and safe mobility
Mobility in the technological upheaval
The automotive industry is in a very dynamic environment and undergoing constant change: In addition to e-mobility innovative assistance functions that enable semi-autonomous or autonomous driving are playing an increasingly important role. At the same time, the requirements for efficiency, safety and sustainability are increasing. The precise recording of consumption, condition and wear is also playing an increasingly important role, forming the basis for predictive maintenance and customised service and inspection intervals.
These developments require highly precise, reliable and robust sensor solutions that deliver consistent measurement data even under demanding conditions, thereby safeguarding key vehicle functions.
Sensor technology as the key technology of modern vehicle concepts
The sensors from AST make a significant contribution to the realisation of current and future mobility concepts. They enable precise measurements in safety-critical applications, support new drive technologies and provide the data basis for intelligent vehicle functions.
Central areas of application for AST sensor technology in mobility:
High-performance current and voltage sensors for electric drives
AST sensors measure currents in the range of several thousand amperes and are used in the electric drives of modern vehicles. They form a central basis for efficient, safe and powerful electromobility solutions.
Hydrogen sensor technology for fuel cell vehicles
The H₂ sensor developed by AST is a key component of the safety concept for vehicles with fuel cell drives. It recognises even the lowest hydrogen concentrations and makes a significant contribution to the operational safety of this technology.
Sensors for condition monitoring and service intervals
AST sensors detect filling levels, media quality, positions and distances in various assemblies. This data enables reliable condition monitoring and supports the needs-based planning of maintenance and service intervals.
Various applications in the vehicle
Our sensor solutions are used, among other things:
- In the cleaning of windscreen and camera systems
- in the cooling of battery systems
- in exhaust gas aftertreatment with AdBlue®
- in brake systems
- in battery management systems
- in control elements and safety-relevant vehicle functions
Precise sensor technology for the mobility of tomorrow
AST sensors make modern mobility safer, more efficient and more intelligent. They provide reliable measurement data for new drive technologies, support innovative assistance systems and create the basis for predictive maintenance and maximum operational safety. AST thus makes a decisive contribution to implementing mobility concepts in a future-proof, sustainable and technically manageable way.
