ABSTRACT: The development of advanced technologies such as information-communication technology, sensor technology and computer technology lead to the transfer of information held by sensors to the microcontroller at any moment, so that software, as the primary medium for decision-making, can direct the vehicle to desired destination, thus improving the participation of all traffic members. Applications of smart sensors and mechatronic systems are represented in almost all devices and are at the forefront of technologies such as: traffic, railway and air transport systems. Nowadays, cars are very complex sophisticated electronic control systems and most innovations in the automotive industry have been achieved through electronics and the implementation of smart sensors. The development and research of advanced technologies has led to a significant progress. The best example is the automotive industry, where almost every high-end car has over 100 ordinary and smart sensors, 100-150 electric motors, network systems with thousands of signals, and over 70 microprocessors and microcontrollers. The aim is to achieve an increase in safety for all traffic users. The paper presents the trend of development and implementation of smart sensors in vehicles, as well as their development and research in the coming period.
