3D Panel for Hybrid and Electric Cars
the evolution of the car’s gasoline engine to hybrid and electric technology will also be followed by the information displayed through the instrument panel, usually better known as the combination meter. Systems Information or digital telemetric also installed in the car.
The emergence of information systems impressions new car is not separated from the car of a more complex hybrid. Information that should be running any more than car petrol or diesel motorized current.
In the hybrid and electric cars, many of energy remaining in the battery, and it must be continuously. The same distance can be based on the energy in the battery. Thus, the drivers feel more secure and comfortable
Can configured. Have conditions that make Yazaki North America Corp. to create prototype instrument panel that can be changed monitor (customized). Consequently, the instrument panel is similar to a small computer. May be, is more sophisticated than the notebook that can be taken as carry-small agenda. Instrument panel display configuration can be changed and the image background.
Finally, Yazaki successfully create a prototype group of instruments that can be as basic configuration screen equipment for electric and hybrid cars. The panel is to show the information in the form of three-dimensional graphics on a LCD screen.
Impressions of the instrument panel supported from various industry microchips. For prototype meter is a combination of three-dimensional, Yazaki using free scale processors Semiconductor MPC5121e. Micro-computer is directly connected to the LCD’s thin layer of high-resolution transistor, known as thin-film transistor (TFT)
OS Linux. According to John Vincent, Product Marketing Group Microcontroller Solution for Free scale Semiconductor; this is not the first time MPC5121e processor is used for car instrument panels. However, interesting combination meter prototype made Yazaki is working with the operating system Linux and the Open GL graphics driver.
“This is for the first time Yazaki operating system Linux and the Open GL for the instrument panel,” said Michael Boyd, Manager of Engineering and Advanced Display Technology for Development Yazaki North America Inc…
For hybrid and electric vehicles, meters must be able to show a combination of information and use of electricity, while car use efficiency electric motor (electric mode), the distance can be based on the energy of the battery and fuel in the tank, the energy generated electric motor, and other information
Added features such as information of a car, a data interface, a USB jack and video will also be able to complete the system.
The configuration can be tailored to the taste of the car, including the image and change the background image display. Alternatively, can deliver the performance of the car, save the album audio, and input interface for a video camera.
