Automotive Electronic Technology

Electronic technology has strongly entered the automotive flied and is currently influencing the main characteristics of the people working for the maintenance and the improvement of the vehicle operation.

In fact, automotive industry is since a long time heading toward a change of the functionalities of the electric systems, with a special attention not only to the efficiency and the power of the engine, but in particular ton the comfort of the passengers. In their safety in terms of accident prevention and minimization of the possible damages, to the energy saving through a reduction of fuel consumption and to the control of the gas emissions in order to reduce the contribution to environment pollution due to discharge gases.

.

This has implied the user of new devices, the substitution of mechanically controlled systems with electrical or electronic systems, and the use of microprocessor based technologies and of advanced techniques for malfunction diagnosis.

New systems for air conditioning. ABS breaking, antitheft devices and others have been regularly added to the traditional electrical system for lighting, power and ignition/ injection.

Therefore, the main educational need is to make easier the training of people in garages, electronical repair shops, maintenance and wheel setup and management of fuel injection. To achieve this goal, DE LORENZO has realized a laboratory that allows the theoretical study and the practical analysis of the problems related to the field of electrical and electronic technology applied to automobiles.

The laboratory consists of a series of trainers, each one provided with educational manual that cover the study of the operation of all the main electrical/electronic systems and components, through the use of various teaching techniques suitable for different educational needs. This allows the teacher to schedule a gradual and complete training course, highly efficient and easy to realize.

Furthermore, the trainers are complete with a series of dedicated software for self-learning the theoretical part for introducing simulated faults through personal computer.

It is obvious that the creation of well trainer techniques in the automotive field will produce a number of direct and indirect benefits, such as a better operation of the vehicle, a higher level of safety for driver and passengers, a better comfort and an improved control of gas emission, with positive impacts an environment.

DE LORENZO proposal consists of the following:

• A set of module for the study of basic electricity and main electric circuits
• A set of simulation panels for electric and electronic systems in modern automobiles, complete with dedicated software for demonstration of the relevant theory and introduction of simulated faults.
• A set of panels with real components for demonstration
• A set of sectioned components

• A real car fully operational with a control panel for fault simulation through dedicated software.
