Ajoneuvoohjausyksikkö

Ajoneuvoohjausyksikkö, also known as a vehicle control unit (VCU), is an electronic device responsible for managing and controlling various functions of a vehicle's powertrain, including engine, transmission, and hybrid systems. The VCU receives input from various sensors and controls actuators to optimize performance, fuel efficiency, and emissions. It plays a crucial role in advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS) and autonomous driving features by processing data from cameras, radar, and lidar sensors to make real-time decisions. The VCU communicates with other electronic control units (ECUs) in the vehicle through a network, typically using protocols like CAN (Controller Area Network) or FlexRay. Modern VCUs are designed to be highly reliable and robust, with features such as redundancy, fault detection, and diagnostic capabilities to ensure safe and efficient vehicle operation. The development of VCUs has been driven by the increasing complexity of vehicle systems and the demand for improved performance, safety, and connectivity.
