MANAGEMENT BOARD ELMOS – THE COMPANY THE ELMOS SHARE CORPORATE GOVERNANCE 48 Until today ELMOS has supplied more than 70 million BUS interface ICs Airbags belong to the applications of greatest importance to ELMOS lished BUS systems are accepted as standards throughout the industry. These are LIN with regard to the bodywork, CAN for average requirements, and FLEXRAY in the safety temperamental high-speed area. In addition, the MOST protocol dominates the network of infotainment components. Electronic layout in the modern car FLEXRAY / CAN DRIVE COMFORT COMFORT CHASSIS Engine Infotainment Transmission ... LIN / MOST Since the introduction of BUS systems by BMW in the year 1999, ELMOS has been serial supplier and has delivered more than 70 million BUS interface ICs until today. No other ASIC manufacturer is able to look back on a comparable delivery history. DRIVER ASSISTANCE SYSTEMS Driver assistance systems will have a great future growth potential. They are the next step on the way to making driving even safer and simpler. Electronics are meant to compensate for human weaknesses such as long reaction time or fatigue and there- fore make driving easier. Thus the driver is able to concentrate on what’s important, the ever increasing traffic. For ELMOS the airbag is one of the most important applications. Thanks to the use of safety belt and airbag systems the number of traffic casualties in Europe was halved in the last 20 years despite tremendously increased density of traffic. The aim set in advance for the automobile manufacturers by the European Union is yet another halving until the year 2010.

Above all it is necessary to detect the cause for accidents early on and to prevent them from happening if possible. This can be managed with the help of sensors directed both to the in- and exterior, recog- nizing the driver’s state of well-being and his reactions, improve the vision in the dark and in the fog, read the distance to the shoulders of the road and to other road-users, and alert if necessary. Cameras of a new fashion and radar sensors belong to this cat- egory, “smart” lighting systems which illuminate bends dependent on current speed or even “know” the course of the road, controlled by GPS. The LED technology opens up tremendous potential for improvement especially for vehicle lighting for which the braking-power dependent brake light brightness is but one example.
