6. 5. Life cycle assessment of a camera system : A case study at Veoneer

   University essay from KTH/Skolan för industriell teknik och management (ITM)

   Author : Ahamed Wazeem; Dharshan Siddarth Mohan; [2023]
   Keywords : life cycle assessment LCA ; FLC2; mono camera system; environmental impact; impact categories.; livscyeklanalys LCA ; FLC2; monokamerasystem; miljöpåverkan; effektkategorier.;

   Abstract : With the growing number of cameras installed in automobiles for a safe driving experience, their environmental impact is relatively unknown and inevitably, the need to calculate its life cycle impact arises. Therefore, this study aims to conduct an attributional life cycle assessment (LCA) to determine the environmental impact of a mono camera system namely the Forward-Looking Camera -2 (FLC2) used in automobiles.
