Look up by wire in Wiktionary, the free dictionary.
By-wire refers to technologies in which a system is controlled using electrical or electronic means rather than by a mechanical linkage that transfers force from the input to the system. The concept is used in aviation and in the automotive industry.[1] By analogy, it may refer to managing by wire, a management style relying on an informational representations of the business, similar to fly-by-wire pilots who rely on an informational representation of the plane.[2]
By-wire concepts and systems include:
- Drive by wire in automotive contexts
- Accelerate-by-wire or throttle-by-wire,[3] more commonly known as electronic throttle control
- Brake-by-wire
- Shift-by-wire in automatic transmissions that are manumatic or in automated manual transmissions. This may include park by wire which actuates the parking pawl as part of the shifting system.
- Steer-by-wire
- Fly-by-wire in aviation contexts
- Power-by-wire, a system which actuates the aircraft's flight controls with electrical actuators in place of hydraulic actuators.[4]
