A review of flexible printed sensors for automotive infotainment systems

Automobiles today are propelled by a variety of technologies that can be divided into three categories: safety, infotainment, and powertrain. The automobile industry is currently placing a high value on vehicle electronics and ergonomics in order to meet the needs of customers and to prepare for future applications. Flexible printed sensors are becoming increasingly popular in the automotive industry, owing to their high production rates, flexibility, and ability to accommodate complex geometries. Since the capacitive flexible printed sensors require many improvements to improve the performance measures in all aspects of the process. It was discovered that there were only a few research works accessible for the design and fabrication of suitable flexible sensors for automotive information and entertainment systems. Several researchers concluded that just a few studies had been conducted on the application of optimization algorithms in the design and fabrication of flexible printed capacitive sensors for the IVI bezel. Research attention has only been focused on investigating the impact of electrode parameters and sensor pattern on the performance of sensors in a limited number of studies.
