Automotive Haptic Accelerator Pedal Market Size, Share & Industry Analysis, By Type ( Composite Pedals, Aluminium Pedals, Steel Pedals ), By Market Type ( OEM, Aftermarket ), and regional Forecast, 2024-2032

Automotive haptic accelerator pedal is a control unit component for motor vehicles. The accelerator pedal consists of a pedal lever, a position sensor, an actuator that can be connected with the pedal lever, and an accelerator pedal control unit. The accelerator pedal lever moves along the travel path whereas the actuator controls the pedal lever and the position sensor detects the position of the pedal lever along the travel path and sends a position signal. The accelerator pedal control unit is designed to control the actuator so as to apply a predetermined force to the pedal lever. The haptic communication technology restores the sensation of touch of applying force, vibrations, or movements to the user. In recent years, this technology has been developed in the automotive industry, especially in the fields of infotainment and security. The haptic accelerator pedal is an application field of haptic communication technology. In this technology, the sensor is located in the accelerator pedal of the vehicle which can sense the exact force required and determine whether the driver is applying excess pressure. This technology is emerging in the automotive market and has proven to have an impact on improving the fuel efficiency of vehicles. Moreover, the haptic accelerator pedal introduces reaction force or vibration into the accelerator pedal, thereby improving the safety of the driver. By integrating the haptic sensor in the accelerator pedal, the driver-controlled fuel efficiency can be established. With the advancement in the technology, the driver and the vehicle can work in series, thereby reducing fuel consumption.
