About Throttle by Wire
A by-wire technology is an innovation which replaces conventional physical connections (like cables and mechanical linkages) with a wire that transmits electronic signals. In TBWs, a throttle position sensor placed adjacent to the gas pedal recognizes how far the pedal has been pressed. In most modern TBW systems, the sensor used is a Hall Effect throttle position sensor (H-E TPS). The pedal movement data collected by the sensor is then conveyed to the vehicular electronic control unit (ECU) or on-board computer (OBC). The ECU analyzes the data and sends a signal to the TBW motor to open the butterfly valve in the throttle body, by a degree proportional to the length of depression of the gas pedal. Since the ECU is in control of the throttle, other valve-like mechanical body components of cruise control and traction control can easily be integrated with the TBW system. Since automatic transmissions are also typically controlled by the ECU, it can adjust the throttle during any gear shift too, accounting for a seamless driving experience.
Technavio’s analysts forecast the global automotive throttle-by-wire-system market to grow at a CAGR of 4.78% during the period 2016-2020.
