Working vehicle and tractor
A working vehicle includes: a clutch displaceable to a connected state in which power is transmitted to a drive, a disconnected state in which the transmission is disconnected, and a half-clutch state in which power is slidably and partly transmitted to the drive; a detector that detects an operation position of a clutch pedal and outputs a detected value corresponding to the operation position detected; a control device that brings the clutch into the half-clutch state if the detected value corresponds with a threshold, and brings the clutch into the disconnected state if the detected value is less than the threshold and into the connected state if the detected value is greater than the threshold, and vice versa; and a change unit that changes the threshold to a different value in accordance with an operation on the operation member.
Flexible notifications via an instrument cluster
Systems, methods and computer readable storage media provide flexible vehicle status notifications via an instrument cluster displayed on an in-vehicle screen. In some examples, when a non-displayed gauge goes into an out-of-parameter or warning range, the gauge may be dynamically shown in the out-of-parameter or warning state in a container position assigned to the gauge in another display or in a dynamic container position in the instrument cluster. In some examples, a popup notification may be provided to inform the driver of a condition. When there are multiple notifications, they may be grouped into definable severity classifications and prioritized so that a notification determined to be a most important message at the time is presented to the driver in a notification zone central to a driver's field of vision on the instrument cluster that allows for reusing screen space for providing warning and information from a range of data sources.
Controller for vehicle display system
A vehicle display system is configured to display instantaneous power delivery of a powertrain of the vehicle as a proportion of the instantaneous power capability of the powertrain. A controller for the vehicle display system comprises an input configured to receive data relating to a condition indicative of a limitation on the instantaneous power delivery and/or power capability, a processor configured to determine from the data whether the condition meets at least one predetermined criterion and an output configured to output a signal to display the limitation in relation to the instantaneous power capability of the powertrain when the condition meets the at least one predetermined criterion.
Method for visualising sensor data and/or measurement data
A method for visualizing sensor data from the surroundings of a vehicle and/or measuring data from the vehicle uses light modules in the interior of the vehicle for the visualization of the sensor data. The sensor data is detected as video data, after which the video data is analyzed in relation to relevant recognizable structures, after which the relevant structures are transferred to a video sequence with a format fitting for the respective light module, and/or sensor data not detected as video data and/or measuring data is recalculated into video sequences via an algorithm, after which the video sequences from the different data are superimposed and displayed on the light modules.
System for generating pseudo driving sound
A pseudo driving sound playback system includes a server and an in-vehicle device. The server includes a database of pseudo sound data sets in which sound elements of engine sound are associated with each of a plurality of predefined driving states for each of a plurality of passenger gasoline vehicle models. The in-vehicle device determines one of a plurality of vehicle models based on received input of a user, downloads a pseudo sound data set of the vehicle model from the server, selects a sound element according to the detected driving state from the pseudo sound data set, and sequentially outputs the sound element as sound from a speaker.
Head-up display
A HUD includes a plate that connects an emission-surface of the LCD and a heat sink, is formed of a material having a higher thermal conductivity than air, and is provided with an emission-surface exhaust heat path that is formed to: include a holding region fixed to a periphery of the emission-surface directly or via a material having a higher thermal conductivity than air, and an intermediate region connecting the holding region and the heat sink; connect an end portion, which is opposite to the holding region, of the intermediate region with the heat sink directly or via a material having a higher thermal conductivity than air; extend from the emission-surface to the heat sink via the plate; and have a thermal gradient greater than that of a heat transfer path for transferring heat from the emission-surface to the heat sink by using air as a medium.
VEHICLE DISPLAY CONTROL DEVICE, VEHICLE DISPLAY CONTROL SYSTEM, VEHICLE, VEHICLE DISPLAY CONTROL METHOD, AND NON-TRANSITORY STORAGE MEDIUM STORING A PROGRAM
A vehicle display control device includes: a processor, the processor being configured to: acquire relay point information related to a plurality of relay points that have been set at intervals along a planned travel route of a vehicle; and display, so as to be superimposed on a foreground in a display region provided in front of an occupant, an image directed toward a planned path change point along an imaginary line connecting the relay points.
VEHICLE NOTIFICATION SYSTEM
A vehicle includes an on-board satellite navigation device, a telematics control unit, a non-transitory computer readable medium, an electronic display device, and a processor. The on-board satellite navigation device is in communication with a global positioning system unit to acquire real-time information regarding conditions near the vehicle's vicinity. The telematics control unit is in wireless communications to at least one of a cloud services and a vehicle network to upload and receive crowdsourced information regarding conditions near the vehicle's vicinity. The non-transitory computer readable medium stores predetermined information regarding conditions near the vehicle vicinity. The processor is programmed to control the electronic display device to display notification data regarding the vehicle vicinity based on one or more of the real-time information, the crowdsourced information and the predetermined information.
Device and Method for the Vehicle-Optimized Representation of the Relevant Content of a Video Game via a Plurality of Output Units
A device includes a display adaptation unit, which is configured to adapt a video game for output via at least two output units in a vehicle via identification of the gaming content of the actual video game; assignment of gaming content to the primary output unit of the vehicle; identification of additional information content of the video game; exporting of the additional information content of the video game to a virtual desktop; and assignment of the virtual desktop to an auxiliary output unit of the vehicle. The device also includes a control unit, which is configured to control the primary output unit to deliver an output of gaming content, and to control the auxiliary output unit to deliver the output of the additional information content of the virtual desktop which is assigned thereto.
VEHICLE DISPLAY CONTROL DEVICE, VEHICLE DISPLAY DEVICE, VEHICLE, VEHICLE DISPLAY CONTROL METHOD, AND NON-TRANSITORY STORAGE MEDIUM
A vehicle display control device includes a memory and a processor coupled to the memory. The processor is configured to acquire an actual location of a vehicle, and change information displayed at a display region generated in front of an occupant, based on the actual location of the vehicle and based on a virtual location of the vehicle on a pre-generated map.
