MEMS for Transportation Market

MEMS Accelerometers for Transportation Market

Technology innovation is revolutionizing the transportation industry, altering the role of airplanes and cars from a means of transportation to sophisticated entities that respond to their environment in an intelligent fashion. MEMS is fast becoming a key enabling technology for many innovations addressing existing and emerging transportation sectors.

For example, some luxury automobiles today incorporate almost one hundred MEMS sensors while aircraft, trains and spacecraft are also heavy MEMS users. The driving factors for this boom are the small scale of MEMS technology, the ability to integrate several functions into one device, low cost (due to batch processing) fabrication, and accurate performance in harsh environments.
