Driving System for an Automated Drive with a Steering Wheel Display for Displaying the Distance to an End Point of the Automated Drive, and Method for Displaying the Distance
A driving system for an automated drive for a motor vehicle includes a steering wheel display with a lighting strip structure. The lighting strip structure of the steering wheel display is luminous in a defined lighting color for a duration which can be modified according to the actuation. The driving system is designed to control the steering wheel display such that the lighting strip structure is luminous in the lighting color over a starting length during the automated drive. Upon approaching an end of the automated drive lying ahead, the driving system determines that the vehicle has approached an end point of the automated drive lying ahead in such a manner that a specified approach condition has been satisfied. In response thereto, the steering wheel display is actuated such that the lighting strip structure is luminous in the lighting color with a successively decreasing length starting from the starting length as the distance to the end point of the automated drive decreases successively in order to prepare the driver to completely or at least partly take over control of the vehicle again.
Implement positioning guidance system
A system and method for guiding an implement on a machine to a target location is disclosed. The system comprises a GUI and a controller in operable communication with the GUI. The controller is configured to: (a) determine a current location of the implement relative to the target location on the work surface; and (b) display on the GUI a symbol in one of a plurality of states, each state associated with one or more locations of the implement relative to the target location. The state in which the symbol is displayed is indicative of the current location of the implement relative to the target location and each state is identified by at least one illuminated portion of the symbol. The controller is further configured to: (c) repeat (a) and (b) each time the implement is moved to a new current location.
Techniques for reproducing parameters associated with vehicle operation
The invention relates to a vehicle, in particular a motor vehicle, having reproduction means for displaying at least one current parameter of the vehicle, wherein the reproduction means are configured to represent the current parameter value on the reproduction means in the form of numbers or numerical words, wherein there are provided allocation means which are configured to allocate to the number or numerical word, on the basis of the value of the number or numerical word, the size of the number or numerical word and/or at least one parameter of the number or numerical word relating to the color and/or of the background thereof, and wherein the reproduction means are configured to represent the number or numerical word on the reproduction means with the allocated size and/or the color parameter.
Method for carrying out a correction of the direction of travel by a driver assistance system in a motor vehicle, and a control device therefor
The disclosure relates to a method for performing a correction of a direction of travel by a driver assistance system in a motor vehicle. The disclosure provides that a need for correcting a direction of travel is recognized by a control device of the driver assistance system in order to continue operating the motor vehicle within a currently traveled lane, at least one display symbol is output by an output apparatus to display the correction of the direction of travel to be performed and being performed, and the correction of the direction of travel is performed by controlling steering of the motor vehicle.
Heads up display, heads up display method, and traveling apparatus
The present disclosure provides a heads up display, comprising: a projector, which is configured to project light to a preset region to form a projected image; an environment color acquisition device, which is configured to acquire an environment color of a background region corresponding to the preset region, wherein the background region is an external region observable through the preset region from an observer's position; and a controller, comprising a color control unit, the color control unit being configured to control a color of light projected by the projector according to the environment color, such that a color of the projected image and the environment color are distinguished from each other. Accordingly, the present disclosure further provides a heads up display method and a traveling apparatus. The present disclosure can enable a driver to always see displayed image clearly in various environments.
Vehicle light assembly
An illumination assembly for a vehicle is provided herein. The illumination assembly may employ a projection assembly that may be disposed within a housing extending from a portion of a vehicle. A window is disposed on the vehicle and may be optically coupled with the projection assembly. A luminescent structure may be disposed within the window and is excited by the projection assembly. A controller may be configured to activate the projection assembly to selectively illuminate indicia on the window.
Automotive window with transparent light guide display
A window for a motor vehicle includes an inner glass pane, an outer glass pane, and a first display module having a first light source, a first light guide disposed between the inner glass pane and the outer glass pane and configured to receive light from the first light source, a second light source, and a second light guide disposed between the inner glass pane and the outer glass pane and configured to receive light from the second light source. When the first light source is activated a first signal is displayed through the first light guide, when the second light source is activated a second signal is displayed through the second light guide, and when the first light source and the second light source are activated a third signal is displayed through the first light guide and the second light guide.
Systems and methods for detecting objects in imaging systems
Systems and methods for detecting objects in imaging systems are provided. An example method includes, during an image composition process for capturing an image of an object using an image sensor of the imaging system, and responsive to an indication that an intensity of glare light interfering with the imaging system is higher than a threshold, acquiring a first image using the image sensor, converting the first image into at least a second image, the second image including an intensity-adjusted version of the first image, intermittently displaying images including the first image and at least the second image on a display of the imaging system, and ceasing the intermittent displaying of the images.
Onboard operation apparatus
An onboard operation apparatus includes an operation panel having an operation face touch-operated on by a fingertip of a user, an output part outputting an operation signal that corresponds to an operation element touch-operated, a vibration instrument causing the user to feel vibration, a position sensor detecting the touch position by a fingertip, and a vibration control part controlling the actuation of the vibration instrument. The onboard operation apparatus further includes a trace calculation part calculating the movement trace of a touch position, and a prediction part predicting whether the touch position reaches a second operation element within a predetermined time. The vibration control part has an entering vibration control part and a holding control part.
DISPLAY FOR A VEHICLE INCLUDING A HOLOGRAM
