  Automotive Hydroformed Parts Automotive hydroformed parts, also known as hydroformed steel, are an ideal solution for manufacturing lightweight, strong, and durable automotive components. General Motors began using hydroforming technology in 2006, when it was first introduced to produce body panels and other structural components. This new process has the potential to drastically reduce the weight and space requirements of many automobiles. In the meantime, it also offers structural and crash performance benefits. Tube hydroforming is a cost-effective method of shaping ductile metals to produce structurally strong yet lightweight pieces. This technique has a wide range of applications in the automotive industry, including engine cradles, door panels, and roofs. Automotive hydroformed parts have greater dimensional tolerances than welded parts. The advantages of hydroforming are substantial. Compared to welded parts, these parts are much lighter and more durable. The process o...

Smart Parking Systems; an Intelligent System That Assists Drivers with Safe Parking

Image
  Smart Parking Systems Smart parking systems refers to a strategy that combines human innovation and technology to use as few resources as possible to achieve easier, faster, and denser parking of vehicles. The system helps modify parking functions by providing a variety of solutions such as automated valet parking, parking guidance, parking enforcement, permit management, slot management, revenue management, and security and surveillance, among others. It helps operators of the parking site to provide various parking facilities to their customers such as cashless payment option, time saving, pre-booking of parking spaces, and increased vehicle safety. Smart Parking Systems can include in-ground/in-built parking sensors, cameras, and counting sensors. These devices are usually embedded into parking spots or positioned next to them to detect whether parking bays are free or occupied. Smart parking systems are designed in such a way that drivers can easily access parking facilit...
