Hyundai Mobis has introduced a new concept built-in sterilization system for the inside of automobiles.
Hyundai Mobis has developed an air duct employing a built-in air sterilization system with anti-bacterial materials.
Attention is focused on the technology since the significance of vehicular sanitation is emphasized in the wake of the spread of the COVID pandemic and the growing trend of car sharing.
The technology, capable of removing 99.9 percent of harmful germs and mold, is expected to bring about pleasant mobility life. The technology can sterilize air circulating inside a car.
It is the first time a built-in technology capable of purifying inside air inside a car has been introduced.
The technology is expected to enjoy popularity among motorists who want to have a more pleasant and safer mobile life.
Hyundai Mobis announced the development of the air sterilization system which utilizes ultraviolet rays and air duct technology on Aug. 16.
The development of the built-in air sterilization system, which utilizes an ultraviolet ray sterilization method, is designed to remove bacteria floating among the inside of the vehicle.
It involves sterilization utilizing hydroxyl emitted from the irradiating of ultraviolet LED light into the photocatalyst filter.
Inside air is inhaled by operating of the air sterilization system and a clean air is emitted through ultraviolet photocatalyst sterilization. The technology is known to remove harmful bacteria without using chemical agents and heavy metals.
Sterilization effects have been proven in the course of developing the technology. Outcomes of testing by outside institutions, such as the Korea Conformity Laboratories (KCL), showed that the operation of the air sterilization system removed about 99.9 percent of staphylococcus aureus floating in the air.
The system can be installed at an idle space inside of dashboard without interference of the conventional air-conditioner system. Car occupants can check the conditions of the air in real-time in conjunction with the AVN system.
Hyundai Mobis also developed an air duct technology employing anti-bacterial materials, designed to improve the quality of the air inside the car.
When an air-conditioner is functioned, a fresh air is inhaled via the air duct, but the remaining moisture, caused by the operation of the air-conditioner, is susceptible to cause an environment harmful to human body with the spread of germs and mold and bad orders.
In order to fix these problems, Hyundai Mobis has also developed an air duct employing new materials such as zinc oxide with anti-bacterial effects
Choi Jae-sup, chief of Hyundai Mobis’ module design sector, said, “Diverse ideas are grafted to offer a pleasant and safe mobility experiences to car occupants.”
Hyundai Mobis will develop diverse innovative technologies that can improve the quality of car users’ utilization from the viewpoint of consumers, Choi added.
Hyundai Mobis has become the world's first company to develop an integrated controller that analyzes the driver’s vital signs, such as posture, heart rate, and brainwaves.
Hyundai Mobis Becomes 1st Company to Develop Integrated Vital Signs Controller for Safe Driving
Hyundai Mobis has become the world's first company to develop an integrated controller that analyzes the driver’s vital signs, such as posture, heart rate, and brainwaves.
The technology, dubbed the Smart Cabin Controller, consists of four sensors for measuring the vital signs of occupants, a controller to analyze such signs, and software logic.
It can be said the company has developed something akin to an advanced brain that can analyze vital signs that change in real time.
While there are already controllers that are capable of processing certain vital signs in the mobility industry, this is the first time for a dedicated healthcare controller to be developed that can perform an integrated analysis of various vital signs.
With this new controller, the company is now well on the way to realizing safety technology that is focused on the occupants rather than in terms of vehicle performance.
