World´s first intelligent steering wheel sensor system, which can also save 1-3 liter fuel :
Guttersberg Consulting (www.guttersberg-automotive.com) creates a technology which protects a driver from a falling asleep in the right situations. And so the idea to be faster than the microsleep did not leave Guttersberg´s engineer´s mind. Guttersberg experimented with various materials and components. Thanks to them self-manufactered and developed as meanwhile worldwide patented system. Guttersberg could finally build various steering wheel prototype models which have already been successfully tested by European OEMs.
The system could also activate already exist driver assist systems like the lane departure warning system. The system could save up to over 16% board electronics here. This could also save up to 1-3 liters of fuel per refueling.
Remains to say that this sensor system also allows the control of entertainment and communication directly from the steering wheel.

2020년 이후 무인자동차(완전자동주행차)가 도입되면 사람은 더이상 핸들(운전대)을 잡을 필요가 없어지게 될 지도 모릅니다.
사람이 운전하는 자동차는 사라지게 되는 걸까요? 그렇지는 않을 겁니다. 스피드를 즐기려는 사람의 욕구는 사라지지 않을 테니까요. 미래에 운전(driving)은 일(work)이 아닌 취미(leisure)가 될 겁니다.
사람이 운전하는 자동차가 존재하는 이상, 교통사고의 위험도 계속 존재하게 되겠죠. 대다수 교통사고는 ‚사람’의 실수에서 비롯되기 때문이죠.
그래서, ‚무인자동차‘ 기술이 발전하는 것 만큼이나 운전자의 실수를 예방하고 안전을 보장해주는 ‚주행 보조 시스템’도 발전을 거듭하고 있습니다.
이미 고가 차량에는 고속도로 자동주행, 차선 감지 장치 등이 탑재되고 있는 추세죠.
그리고 머지 않은 가까운 미래에 ‚스마트핸들'(Smart Steering Wheel)이 도입될 겁니다.
유럽의 한 완성차 업체가 고급 차종에 이 신기술을 채택하기로 결정했고, 그 밖에 국내외 완성차 업체들도 ‚스마트핸들‘ 도입을 검토중입니다.
‚스마트핸들’의 핵심 부품인 감압 센서를 개발한 독일의 구터스베르크(Guttersberg) 관계자들을 MTN과 딱TV가 만나 인터뷰 했습니다.
마 틴 크로이저(Dipl. Ing. MR. Martin Kreuzer)와 데니스 귀젤로칵(Mr. Denis Güzelocak), 두 명의 기술자들은 최근 한국을 방문해 자동차 부품업체, 그리고 이 ‚센서’가 필요한 다양한 업체들을 만나 공급 협상을 진행했습니다.
복잡한 버튼과 레버 없이 ‚스마트핸들’로 조작하는 자동차를 만나 볼 날이 곧 다가오겠죠?

Use cases and applications
The Smart Steering Wheel is a unique safety innovation for the automotive market. Guttersberg Consulting GmbH developed and patented a special sensor system which goes into the rim of the steering wheel, joysticks, controls or operating elements which recognizes when someone is dozing off or falling asleep while driving. The car can then be programmed to send an alert or to buzz the driver to WAKE UP! The sensor also can be customized to have up to ten “hot spots” locations that can be programmed on the steering wheel to provide various functions.
Automotive & Aviation
The Sensor – system is applicable in all service facilities, such as steering wheel, gear lever, joystick the vehicle and aerospace industries, as well as control elements in medicine – and information technology, especially when the human operator presence and high visibility is required. The most obvious application areas include automotive production worldwide, (luxury segment, middle class, small cars. Motorcycles), military vehicles, aviation, inland and marine, medical field.
Gaming & other´s
The sensors can also be programmed for pressure in certain locations. This can be used in controler or operating elements to control various location, emergency, entertainment or communication systems. This same feature can be used in game controllers, aircraft, etc., as an economical way to add additional programmable capabilities to a controller or joystick device without the need for extra buttons or dials.
Media
By using enhanced and specially developed sensor system to measure pressure, car and vehicle manufacturers can add various extra levels of safety to their steering wheels or operating elements.
During normal driving, the operator is constantly moving their hands on the steering wheel, changing pressure as the fingers grip the wheel. However, by using Guttersberg’s sensor system inside the steering wheel, the vehicle can now sense if the driver’s hands are now longer moving – if the operator has fallen asleep with their hands on the wheel or if their hands are no longer on the wheel. This can trigger the correct safety protocol to either wake up the driver or to implement corrective measures.
Unique Smart Sensor Wheel
The steering wheel has evolved from merely functioning as a control element to a safety component with complex requirements. Already 30 years ago, tighter restrictions on impact according to regulations FMVSS 203 in the U.S and in Europe according to ECE R12 led to the introduction of airbags. The positioning of this security and smart system integrated into the steering wheel was a challenge to Guttersberg Consulting GmbH engineers and required extensive concept adjustments.
Although the number of road traffic fatalities then drastically declined, R&D did not stop there and attention was turned to the driver. Fatigue, negligence and inappropriate responses are still causes for accidents. Detecting deviations and warning the driver in a timely manner helps significantly improve the security aspect of motor vehicles.
Drivers Hand detection in this case (hands ON / OFF detection) refers to the detection whether or not the driver is holding the steering wheel. This detection system is accompanied by increased comfort for the driver. In stop-and-go situations or convoys, for example, the system can automatically detect and autonomously guide the vehicle in cooperation with other systems at an adequate distance from vehicles ahead.
Part of the steering wheel is also an intelligent electronic evaluation system.
About us
Guttersberg Consulting GmbH (GTB) is the owner of the international manufacturing, marketing – as well as the licensing rights.
The GTB automotive division works with their international development partners, using innovative solutions for the user, the quality and consistency of, Switches, measuring – and control systems as well as panel surfaces to increase as well as future steering technologies.
The resistive sensor system of GTB is a special combination of the finest mechanical control with precise hand – and gesture recognition of a human operator.
The driver can thus at one or more positions both its own freely configurable Sensor field and dedicated sensor arrays operate.
