The document outlines a seminar on drive-by-wire systems in automobiles, detailing their introduction, history, types (including steer-by-wire, throttle-by-wire, and brake-by-wire), benefits, and future implications. Drive-by-wire replaces traditional mechanical systems with electronic controls, enhancing performance, safety, and reliability. The conclusion suggests that the removal of mechanical controls could revolutionize vehicle design, enabling greater flexibility and innovative configurations.

INTRODUCTION
•The development ofelectronic control
systems is nowhere more apparent than in
the modern automobile.
•The benefits of applying electronic
technology are clear improved
performance, safety, and reliability with
Reduced manufacturing and operating
costs.
•Drive-by-wire is a catch-all term that can
refer to a number of electronic systems that
take the place of old mechanical controls.
Instead of using cables, hydraulic pressure.

HISTORY
1990s.That technology, justlike drive-by wire, uses electrical wires to control the
normal operations of a plane. There is a trend in the automotive industry towards
eliminating mechanical and hydraulic control systems and replacing them with
electronic controls.
1995-BMW technique began working on the project Z 22 TO CHANGE carbon
fibre structure to drive by wire .
• 1998-aircraft technology using computerised joystick .
• 2002-HY WIRE car by general motors .
•2009-Wire “de assault systems solid works” releases.
•2010-introduces sensors for the paddle
THROTTLE-BY-WIRE
•Throttle-by-wire is anautomotive technology
that is widely used on vehicles today.
•Throttle-by-wire, was the first type of drive-
by-wire system introduced. These systems use
a pedal unit and an engine management
system.

HOW DOES ITWORK?
The pedal uses sensors that measure how much or how little the driver moves
the accelerator
Advantages Of Brake-by-wire
1.Reacts more quickly resulting in shorter stopping distance
and time.
2. Loss of mechanical systems results in noiseless operation
and elimination of vibration.
3. Lesser space consumed making the engine compartment
and compact and helping in better space utilization.
4. Allows the ECM to integrate torque management with
cruise control, traction control and stability control.

By replacing conventionalthrottle systems, drive-by-wire systems can
significantly reduce the number of moving parts in a vehicle. This reduces
weight, increases operational accuracy and stretches out the time between
service visits for things like mechanical maintenance and other adjustments.

THE FUTURE OFDRIVE-BY-WIRE
The removal of mechanical controls could allow
automakers to design vehicles that are radically
different from the cars and trucks that are on the road
today. Concept cars like the By-Wire have even
allowed the seating configuration to be moved
around, since
