Abstract :
Using wireless communication and energy harvesting in automobiles might have significant advantages considering dependability (no wires and contacts) and weight (no cable tree). In this paper, we give a brief overview of the related technologies, surrounding conditions, and methods for design and optimization. As examples, we focus on methods for harvesting kinetic energy and wireless transmission in a tire pressure metering system (TPMS).
