An apparatus for providing information on board a vehicle includes a first display; a second display; a scanning device for capturing a position of a person on board the vehicle; and a processing device. The processing device is configured to: determine a constellation in which the second display is located between the first display and the person; determine a display content of the first display that is covered by the second display; and provide the determined display content on the second display.

A lever switch device which is configured to be connected to a support body in a vehicle. The lever switch device includes a rotatable operating lever, a switch structure including setting positions and allowing wiper operation setting to be made by rotation of the operating lever, and a structure of a detent mechanism to cause the operating lever to stay in a predetermined position. The setting positions include a home position, a position for wiper operation up adjustment and a position for wiper operation down adjustment. The detent mechanism includes a mechanism to return the operating lever to the home position from the position for wiper operation up adjustment or the position for wiper operation down adjustment.

A transmission device for a vehicle includes a vehicle state detector for detecting a vehicle state, the vehicle state including a first state which indicates that an ignition of the vehicle is off, and a second state which indicates that the ignition of the vehicle is on, a transmission operation unit that includes a fixed unit provided in a column of a steering wheel for enabling a transmission operation and a movable unit configured to be switched between a first position and a second position with respect to the fixed unit, and a position adjusting unit for adjusting a position of the movable unit based on the detected vehicle state.

A vehicle and a method are provided for adjusting a position of a display in the vehicle. The vehicle includes a seat, a display, particularly a touch display, a drive and an evaluation unit. The seat is disposed in the passenger compartment of the vehicle and has a base and a backrest, which can be inclined relative to the base and can be transferred at least between a first angle of inclination and a second angle of inclination with respect to the base. The drive is designed to transfer the display between a first position and a second position. The display is disposed in the passenger compartment remote from the backrest. The evaluation unit is designed to determine an angle of inclination of the backrest and to control the drive in order to transfer the display to the first position if the angle of inclination of the backrest corresponds to the first angle of inclination and to transfer the display to the second position if the angle of inclination of the backrest corresponds to the second angle of inclination.

The present invention relates to an operator platform for a construction machine and to a construction machine, particularly a road construction machine such as a road milling machine or a road paver, with an operator platform. The operator platform comprises an operator platform base, an operating panel and an operator seat, wherein an operating panel mount with a pivoting device is provided, by means of which the operating panel is pivotable about a vertical pivot axis between a first pivoting position and a second pivoting position. The operating panel mount comprises a height adjustment device which is configured such that the operating panel can be locked at different height positions independently of the pivoting positions.

Various implementations of illumination systems are described herein. For example, the illumination system includes a light guide having an outer surface and an inner surface that extend between a first end and a second end of the light guide, and at least one light source disposed adjacent the first end of the light guide. The light source emits infrared or visible light into the first end of the light guide. The light guide transmits the light from the light source through at least a portion of the outer surface of the light guide. In addition, the system may include a second light source disposed adjacent the second end of the light guide. The second light source emits infrared or visible light into the second end of the light guide.

A vehicle system comprising a steering wheel that includes: i) a hub adapted to be mounted on a steering column of the vehicle system; ii) a steering wheel rim coupled to the hub; and iii) a first control movably coupled to the hub. The first control moves from a first position proximate a first location on the steering wheel rim to a second position proximate a second location on the steering wheel rim. This maintains the first control in proximity to a first hand of a driver as the first hand moves from the first location to the second location on the steering wheel rim. The vehicle system further comprises a control module configured to move the first control from the first position to the second position.

A utility vehicle includes a plurality of ground-engaging members, a frame, a powertrain assembly, a front suspension assembly, and a rear suspension assembly. A cargo bed may be supported by the frame at the rear of the vehicle. The vehicle also includes an operator seat and at least one passenger seat positioned within an operator area. In one embodiment, the vehicle includes doors to enclose the operator area.
