INDUSTRY OVERVIEW
Transportation networks are woven together with intricate computer systems that optimize and boost efficiency, safety, and comfort. Within this interconnected system, interoperability is crucial, so ESD interference must be dealt with to minimize interference. Unpredictable temperatures, ranging from heatwaves to snowstorms, expose those computers and components to temperatures beyond typical computer capabilities. Now, with AI gaining traction, processing at the network edge is pushing processing performance expectations.
CHALLENGES
EXTREME TEMPERATURES AND FLUCTUATIONS
Extreme temperatures and constant thermal cycling can damage products and slash operating lifespans. Low temperatures cause slow starts, and high temperatures can overheat the system, leading to damage or evasive measures such as throttling.
CONSTANT VIBRATION AND BIG BUMPS
The constant vibration of high-speed rail and the big bumps of a dump truck wear down the computer system. Components and connections either come loose over time or are knocked out of place with a single powerful jolt.
UNSTABLE POWER SUPPLY
The power supply in vehicles impacts connected electronic systems and can lead to data loss due to incomplete data writes. Protective measures are essential for protecting against data corruption or system damage caused by sudden power loss.
