VALERIAS AD MARINAS SUGGESTIONS FOR HUD DESIGN

Honda Civic Dashboard 2006

September 3, 2005 at 6:42 pm · Filed under 2006 Honda Civic, Cars

Honda’s interior for the 2006 Civic is screaming unorthodox. You thought centre dashboard meters were weird, but Honda has implemented a dual-tiered dashboard for this incarnation of the Civic.

The top tier or “level” features a digital speedometer, a fuel gauge and an engine temperature gauge. Honda says putting it at the very top closest to the windshield minimizes eye movements for the driver, letting them focus on the road more often. For the Civic Si, the top level also has an LED shift light which starts to blink red from 7400rpm onwards until the 8000rpm redline where it shines a solid amber.











The lower level is in the normal position just behind the steering wheel and it features a tachometer (RPM meter), odometer, warning indicators and in some models, a temperature gauge.












For the Civic Hybrid, the upper level also features fuel economy/mileage calculations and the lower level shows battery statuses.












For top-end models, the centre dashboard console also includes a 6.5″ LCD TFT touch screen which opens and closes to allow access to a single-slot CD player and a memory card reader which supports SD cards, CompactFlash cards and Flash ATA memory cards. The audio system can play MP3 and WMA files from these cards. You can control the navigation system and the audio system via joystick or buttons or via touching the options on the screen since it is a touch-screen.

HUD

The car dashboard. You will spend most of your time as a car owner facing it. Many car companies have been trying to revolutionize the way dashboard information is presented to you. Honda has it’s split deck design with 2 levels of meters. Some companies position the dashboard meter cluster in the middle like the Toyota VIOS, Nissan X-Trail and even our Perodua Kancil.

I kind of like Citroen’s approach with the Citroen C6’s dashboard. Nice and compact display shows indicators, RPM, speed, gear shift position and fuel level in digital form, and speed is projected on the windscreen via a heads-up display.

CEBIT 3D Screen example

For our project, we could use this technology for different levels for the dashboard symbols maybe.

"3 dimensional display, its like.. looking into a box with objects in, but there aren’t really a box(it's just flat foil) cause it's an illusion.."

I think it is just a concept so far, anway interesting to see. Checkit out here:

Aim:

Our solution should help driver to reduce the informationsstream, so driver can concentrate more on driving and has less to process during driving, so is less distracted from this big mass on informations. How to undertake some tasks for the driver?
What about improving the reactiontime between car and pedestrian?

The time between
action (pedestrian on the road) and
reaction (driver brakes) is too long
plus the time until the reaction, which might dont be in time ( when the driver is for instance distracted by sth.)


Solution:

The car should overtake the reaction of a driver before the accident happens and before the driver reacts (because reactiontime too long).

The communication between the car and the pedestrian should be more faster and more direct and influence directly the brakes for instance.


How:

Combination out of activ RFID chips and ISA
(RFID Radiofrequence-Identification ISA Intelligent Speed Adaption)


each pedestrian has a RFID chip ( doesnt matter where, bag, clothes...)




















each car has a RFID Reader, which detects pedestrians in a certain area around a car (for instance 50m distance) and gives a signal to a car, which is ready to react (reduce the speed or brake) additionally there is an acustic and visual signal, which informs the driver.

Cologne traffic observations

We have made some observations in Cologne city 

with Valeria, in a shopping street during the traffic hour, 

which was loaded with pedestrians. How the confrontation of persons and traffic functions there. Astonishingly, how less attention the people pay to the traffic. That has to do with the fact that everybody still counts on the other, that he will already stop. What makes the situation more dangerously. 

The pedestrians who cross the streets with earphones, pay more attention 

to the traffic, they turn the head more often, because in this case the hearing sense is strongly disturbed. We have done some video recordings, we will put them here later. And we will evaluate the results of the observation even stronger.

New Technologies to prevent accidents between cars and pedestrians

http://www.welt.de/wissenschaft/article2143675/Autos_lernen_den_Fussgaenger_noch_besser_kennen.html

- Infraredcameras should "see" further
- this system should reduce the accidents rate about 8 %
- but praxis shows, that the driver ether concentrate on the display or the road
- this system will be improved, that it sees the pedestrian early anought and warns the driver
- you see yellow sihouettes of pedestrians on the monitor, as soon they enter the road, the cockpit shows you warning sign
- soon carsystems can also read the streetsigns
- also the system shoul coorporate with the tempomat and slow down the speed

Traffic lights should talk to drivers

- exchange between car  and traffic light

- traffic- light should inform the driver, when its red, yellow, green and how long, so driver knows

  if he for instance can turn off the engine and when he can start it again

- mobilephones and gps shoul get a certain software

- traffic should get saver, fluider and the air better

TCAS - cockpit anti collision systems in aviation

The Traffic alert and Collision Avoidance System (or TCAS) is an aircraft collision avoidance system designed to reduce the danger of mid-air collisions between aircraft. It monitors the airspace around an aircraft for other aircraft equipped with a corresponding active transponder, independent of air traffic control, and warns pilots of the presence of other transponder-equipped aircraft which may present a threat of mid-air collision (MAC). It is an implementation of the Airborne Collision Avoidance System mandated by International Civil Aviation Organization to be fitted to all aircraft over 5700 kg or authorised to carry more than 19 passengers.

Official definition from PANS-ATM (Nov 2007): ACAS / TCAS is an aircraft system based on secondary surveillance radar (SSR) transponder signals which operates independently of ground-based equipment to provide advice to the pilot on potential conflicting aircraft that are equipped with SSR transponders.

In modern glass cockpit aircraft, the TCAS display may be integrated in the Navigation Display (ND); in older glass cockpit aircraft and those with mechanical instrumentation, such an integrated TCAS display may replace the mechanical Instantaneous Vertical Speed Indicator (which indicates the rate with which the aircraft is descending or climbing).

the cockpit screen that notifys about other "aerial vehicles" and also give flying instructions in order to prevent colission - "pull up", "decend 1500 feet per minute", "maintain direction" and etc.

aviation solutions to "limited visibility" conditions

this is an example of an airplane that has to land in limited visibility conditions, which means, that the pilots cannot navigate their way by looking outside the cockpit and worst of all they wouldn't be able to see the runway on which they are suppose to land. mostly it is because a cloud "sits" on the the airfield (fog or mist are usually the case in early morning landings).
the ILS (Instrument Landing System) is a landing approach based on different wave lengths that are being transmitted from a specific point on the ground in the airport (on the sides of the zebra line - the "threshold"). a receiver in the airplane receives the signals and transform them into screen visual images that indicate the position of the aircraft regarding the runway on 2 axis (vertical+horizontal). this device helps the pilots to bring the aircraft to safe landing without even having to see the runway once until touchdown.
this "limited visibility" situation is parallel to a situation where a car driver cannot see / is unaware of pedestrian existence nearby, and the potential danger that awaits around the corner. Exactly like the pilots are unaware of their position in relation to the runway and need a directing instrument to help them avoid accidents.
