DISPLAY MODIFICATION BASED ON THE IMPORTANCE OF THE DATA
An example operation includes one or more of causing data, related to a performance of a transport, that is most significant to gain prominence on a display of a transport, and visually altering the data based on a worsening of the performance.
Collision avoidance and/or pedestrian detection system
A collision avoidance and/or pedestrian detection system for a large passenger vehicle such as commuter bus, which includes one or more exterior and/or interior sensing devices positioned strategically around the exterior and interior of the vehicle for recording data, method for avoiding collisions and/or detecting pedestrians, and features/articles of manufacture for improving same, is described herein in various embodiments. The sensing devices may be responsive to one or more situational sensors, and may be connected to one or more interior and/or exterior warning systems configured to alert a driver inside the vehicle and/or a pedestrian outside the vehicle that a collision may be possible and/or imminent based on a path of the vehicle and/or a position of the pedestrian as detected by one or more sensing devices and/or situational sensors.
Method for identifying sirens of priority vehicles and warning a hearing-impaired driver of the presence of a priority vehicle
Disclosed is a device for identifying sirens of priority vehicles and for warning a hearing-impaired driver of a motor vehicle of a presence of at least one priority vehicle in an environment of his vehicle, including at least one sound receiver, a computing unit for analyzing the audio recording and a unit for comparing the frequencies of the audio recording with frequencies previously stored in storage of the computing unit as being associated with a siren of a given priority vehicle, and for doing so for each type of priority vehicle, and at least one visual and/or vibratory element for warning the driver when a presence of a priority vehicle is detected in an environment of the motor vehicle.
Method for operating a visual field display device for a motor vehicle
A method operates a visual field display device, particularly for a motor vehicle, which includes an autostereoscopic planar pixel array for generating a projecting light beam containing a display content, and is designed to project this onto a partially transparent, reflective projection screen, particularly a front windscreen of the motor vehicle, in such a way that a virtual display image superimposed into a field of vision of a user is generated behind the screen. The method provides at least one surroundings parameter and/or user parameter, and switches between at least two qualitatively different 3D, 2D and/or monocular operating modes of the planar pixel array, depending on the surroundings parameters and/or user parameters provided, in order to adapt the virtual display image to qualitative operational changes relating to the surroundings and/or the user of the visual field display device.
Vehicle warning light monitoring assembly
A vehicle warning light monitoring assembly includes a monitoring circuit that is integrated into an electrical system of a vehicle. The monitoring circuit is in electrical communication with each of a plurality of exterior lights on the vehicle. A display is integrated into a dashboard of the vehicle to display the name of one of the exterior lights on the vehicle that has malfunctioned. A communication unit is pluggable into a data port in a vehicle to receive operational data pertaining to the exterior lights of the vehicle. The communication unit displays exactly which exterior light on the vehicle has malfunctioned. Additionally, the communication unit is wireless communication with a personal electronic device for communicating the operational data to the personal electronic device.
VEHICLE
A vehicle includes an image capturing device configured to capture an image in a vehicle traveling direction, a display device, and a controller configured to carry out an analysis of the image captured by the image capturing device and display an indicator based on the analysis on the display device. The controller is configured to display a first object that approaches a host vehicle on the display device in a mode different from a mode for a second object that does not approach the host vehicle within the image captured by the image capturing device.
USER DEVICE FOR GENERATING A GRAPHICAL USER INTERFACE
The proposed invention relates to methods for controlling energy consumption by a motor vehicle, and can be used in transportation industry. The technical problem to be solved by the claimed invention is to provide a user device that do not possess the drawbacks of the prior art and thus make it possible to generate an accurate energy-efficient track for a motor vehicle that allows to reduce energy consumption by the motor vehicle on the specific portion of the route, as well as to reliably signal about energy consumption by the motor vehicle and the ways of reducing its energy consumption.
VEHICLE DISPLAY DEVICE, DISPLAY METHOD, AND STORAGE MEDIUM
A vehicle display device displays a predetermined image at a display region showing a view ahead of a vehicle, and includes a processor. The processor recognizes a travel lane in which the vehicle is traveling, recognizes a position of the vehicle relative to the travel lane, determines whether or not there is a possibility of the vehicle departing from the travel lane based on the recognized travel lane and the position of the vehicle, and displays, at the display region, an image of a stereoscopic object disposed along the travel lane in a case in which the processor has determined that there is a possibility of the vehicle departing from the travel lane.
SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR VEHICLE FLOW SYNCHRONIZATION WITH RESPECT TO A WORK MACHINE IN A MATERIAL LOADING CYCLE
A system and method are provided for flow synchronization between various transport vehicles (e.g. dump trucks) and a work machine (e.g. excavator) in a material loading cycle. The work machine and each transport vehicle are configured to communicate with each other via a machine-to-machine communications network. A controller determines initiation of a loading cycle associated with the work machine and a first transport vehicle, and detects certain parameters corresponding to a duration of the loading cycle (e.g. weight of payload, volume of truck bin, historical cycle data). A remaining time in the loading cycle duration is accordingly estimated, and an output signal corresponding to the estimated remaining time is generated to at least a next transport vehicle in a loading sequence. The system and method facilitate even spacing of transport vehicles, consistent travel speeds, and optimization of a number of loading vehicles required to coordinate with a given work machine.
Vehicle communication system, vehicle module, front composite module, and vehicle lamp
A vehicle communication system installed in a vehicle includes: a lamp for illumination, a display or signal; a display that is configured by a planar light emitter and has an information display function; and a control unit that is capable of controlling turning-on of the lamp and of the display. The control unit is configured to control the lamp and the display in a linked manner, and present vehicle information indicating a condition of the vehicle by combining light emission of the lamp with information display of the display.
