About AKM
Demo Car Project
Asahi Kasei Microdevices(AKM)’s state-of-the-art automotive solutions are equipped in our Demo Car.
Experience the future.
Concept
Through our Demo Car we like our customers to experience the performance of AK cutting-edge solutions for cars of today and tomorrow.
The video clips on our page will give you an impression of the various solutions and in-car experiments we have created. All products are well integrable in today’s relevant vehicle standard.
Please come to our garage lab. and experience it. We are starting the Demo Car Project from Japan, and then expand this activity to the world.
Introduction to the garage lab
We provide demonstrations that enable customers to experience our unique technologies in the cabins such as "active noise cancellation", "engine sound creators", which are realized by our in-vehicle DSP software tuning technologies.
This extremely lightweight noise-reducing solution cancels unwanted noise with sound waves.
Noise Cancellation for Cars
Road Noise Cancellation technology is reducing the noise that is generated from road induced vibrations. This is performed by composied a secondary sound field using acceleration signals as inputs and processing these signals in real-time with low-latency computational efforts.
Engine order cancellation
Engine order cancellation reduces engine noise by means of the algorithms installed in DSP, which reduces the burden on the materials and systems used in the vehicle body and improves the fuel efficiency. This algorithm utilizes the engine RPM information obtained from the car body to generate sounds with opposite phases to the engine sound and cancel out unpleasant sounds. In addition, you can adjust small phase shifts and corrections using the monitor microphone.
Providing an immersive driving experience via customizable audio
Acoustic Design Solution
Sound appealing to the senses, which is achieved by the IC for high-quality audio, a variety of software algorithms, and tuning by skilled engineers
Enjoy the world of sound as if you were there.
Engine Sound Creator
The Engine Sound Creator (ESC) creates realistic sounds by utilizing the Controller Area Network (CAN) for things like speed or acceleration so that passengers can still enjoy the realistic sound of an engine despite being in an EV or HV.
Voice processing technology that delivers a more comfortable, enjoyable, and safe in-car experience.
Voice Control
All vehicle functions are voice activated
Our Voice Control technology allows passengers to operate in-vehicle devices with their voice. Its optimized algorithm for cabin atmosphere allows it to recognize voice commands accurately even with road noise from high speeds and has excellent responsiveness because it has an offline stand-alone voice recognition system. It also features beamforming, which controls directionality to allow the system to respond only to the voice from the driver's seat.
Hands-free Talk
Converse without irritating echoes or feedback noise.
Our handsfree system uses voice processing technology from 20-years of global experience.
The echo-canceling/noise canceling function suppresses external noise and echoes without compromising sound quality.
Passengers can also talk on the phone without irritating echoes or feedback while driving.
In-Car Communication (ICC)
Have a conversation without muting the audio.
Have you ever had the experience of not being able to hear the driver's voice while driving or playing music??
Our in-car communication technology enables the communication in the car without muting the audio by echo cancel and howling cancel functions.
Karaoke
Change the way you enjoy your vehicle!
As autonomous vehicles become more prevalent, the way people enjoy their car experience will be transformed in new ways - one of which is with karaoke.
Our karaoke system needs but one microphone to enjoy karaoke from the car or smartphone.
The system prevents howling and makes singing voices resonate, creating an immersive feeling like an actual karaoke room.
