Project description
Innovative display technology for commercial vehicles
Commercial vehicles rely on several conventional instruments for information. However, this affects driver, vehicle and public safety. Sweden’s HUD Solutions developed a head-up display (HUD) technology that displays the most important information within the driver’s sightline. The aim is to deliver the essential information without the driver needing to look down. Overall, HUD enables better human machine interaction and increases safety and productivity. The EU-funded HUD project will develop a clear industrialisation plan for the HUD technology for off-highway vehicles.
Objective
An overload of information in conventional instruments in commercial vehicles affect driver, vehicle and public safety. HUD Solutions, Sweden AB developed a Head-Up Display (HUD) technology to display the most important information within the driver’s line of sight. With HUDs, the image is perceived to be hovering in the air a few meters in front of the vehicle and driver can see the essential information without looking down. By enabling better human-machine interaction, safety and productivity are increased which, in turn, leads to reduced costs.
HUD Solutions Sweden AB validated a prototype of a HUD for OHVs in a partnership with leading, world-class OEMs in 2017 during an extensive research project financed by Vinnova, Sweden’s innovation agency. The company obtained a clear proof of concept and is now ready to develop a clear industrialization plan for the HUD technology for Off-Highway Vehicles (OHVs).
