What are some examples of body control modularization?
Examples are LED Modules, HVAC (Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning) Module, Seat Module, Door Module, and Car Access and Immobilizer Module
This kind of body control modularization is often called decentralized body control architecture, and it can include a part of the power distribution and in-vehicle network functions
What are the challenges when developing Body Control Module software?
The four major challenges when developing body control module software are increased performance needs, increased number of input/output processors and channels, the need to develop a cycle of more complex modules, and the problem of power consumption in both run and sleep modes
What is a body control module in a car?
A brand-new communication tool lies at the core of building trust between machines and users
Safe and comfortable driving cannot be imagined without an automotive body control (BCM) module
What does BCM stand for in cars? This module monitors and controls many things in order to keep crucial electronics running smoothly
Automotive body control
Type of automobile suspension technology
Active Body Control, or ABC, is the Mercedes-Benz brand name used to describe electronically controlled hydropneumatic suspension.
Control, communication, and entertainment systems in cars and other motor vehicles
Automotive electronics are electronic systems used in vehicles, including engine management, ignition, radio, carputers, telematics, in-car entertainment systems, and others. Ignition, engine and transmission electronics are also found in trucks, motorcycles, off-road vehicles, and other internal combustion powered machinery such as forklifts, tractors and excavators. Related elements for control of relevant electrical systems are also found on hybrid vehicles and electric cars.
The Automotive Industry Standards are the automotive technical specifications of India. They are based on the UNECE norms.

Automotive Research Association of India (ARAI) is a co-operative industrial research association by the automotive industry with the Ministry of Industries and the Government Of India. The objectives of the Association are Research and Development in automotive engineering for industry, product design and development, evaluation of automotive equipment and ancillaries, standardisation, technical information services, execution of advanced courses on the application of modern technology and conduct of specific tests.
Electronic throttle control (ETC)
Automobile technology
Electronic throttle control (ETC), also known as e-gas or throttle by wire, is an automobile technology which electronically connects the accelerator pedal to the throttle, replacing a mechanical linkage. This concept is often called drive by wire, and sometimes called accelerate-by-wire or throttle-by-wire. A typical ETC system consists of three major components: (i) an accelerator pedal module, (ii) a throttle valve that can be opened and closed by an electric motor, and (iii) a powertrain or engine control module. The ECM is a type of electronic control unit (ECU), which is an embedded system that employs software to determine the required throttle position by calculations from data measured by other sensors, including the accelerator pedal position sensors, engine speed sensor, vehicle speed sensor, and cruise control switches. The electric motor is then used to open the throttle valve to the desired angle via a closed-loop control algorithm within the ECM.
The International Automotive Task Force (IATF) is an ad hoc group of automotive manufacturers and related industry associations, formed to improve the collective quality control across supply chains in the automotive industry.

A power-train control module
Automotive component used on motor vehicles
A power-train control module, abbreviated PCM, is an automotive component, a control unit, used on motor vehicles. It is generally a combined controller consisting of the engine control unit (ECU) and the transmission control unit (TCU). On some cars, such as many Chryslers, there are multiple computers: the PCM, the TCU, and the Body Control Module (BCM), for a total of three separate computers. These automotive computers are generally very reliable. The PCM commonly controls more than 100 factors in a car or truck. There are many hundreds of error codes that can occur, which indicates that some subsection of the car is experiencing a problem. When one of these errors occurs, usually it will turn on the check engine light on the dashboard. The PCM is one of potentially several on-board computers, or essentially the brain of the engine control system.
Electric vehicle manufacturer
REE Automotive, Ltd. is a commercial electric vehicle developer and manufacturer. The company's electric vehicle platform features independent interchangeable corner modules, dubbed REECorners. The corner modules are positioned directly adjacent to each wheel, and they encapsulate all of the vehicle's drive systems such as the motor, inverter, steering, brakes, and suspension. They are controlled electronically, by-wire, allowing for a completely flat platform chassis onto which custom chassis bodies can be attached.
