Embedded Solutions for Rail, Road, Air and Sea
Road
Modern vehicles like buses, coaches, trucks and other commercial vehicles as well as ships and off-highway vehicles like construction and farming machines have many functions directly controlled by computer systems that also need to communicate with the outside world. Read more
As environments are harsh, the computers must be very robust and require e1 automotive certification. In addition to robustness, small footprint solutions are a must in narrow driver cabins.
Control computers for vital functions are typically networked by fieldbuses like CAN bus inside the vehicle. Communication computers are mostly based on standard Ethernet, while the outside is connected using different wireless standards (GSM, GPRS, Edge, UMTS, HDSPA, LTE, WLAN).
Dynamic information systems - whether on board a bus or ship - inform passengers on the current traffic and weather conditions, tour destinations and delays. Access points are required for Internet access or connection to the telephone network. Content servers and video recorders may store movies or camera data from surveillance systems.
Precise piloting of construction or agricultural machines (even at night) may require control of cameras, reception of GPS data for navigation, communication with other drivers etc., with all kinds of data and diagnosis results transmitted and exchanged with the company office or farm house.

Application Example
Driver Desk HMI
Panel PCs for driver desk solutions are used to display content, e.g., video streams from a passenger surveillance system or messages from the vehicle diagnostic system, and/or to interactively control elements like the entrance, windscreen wipers, air conditioning, passenger information system or track level crossings. They have to be robust, fanless and maintenance-free and typically feature a touch screen to support the HMI functions. Video surveillance and infotainment systems are nowadays connected via LAN. Driver desk computers for road-bound vehicles like buses, trucks etc. need e1 certification in addition.

Application Example
In-Seat Infotainment
This customized member of the rugged and intelligent Display Computer family is intended for use in public buses in a setup sometimes involving a second, non-intelligent display. Either one or two 19" widescreen displays are placed in each vehicle. The intelligent display computer is located behind the driver, its 16:10 display panel visible in driving direction. Depending on the length of the bus, the additional non-intelligent display is located behind the hinge of the bus, also visible in driving direction and supplied with the same signal as the main unit's display panel via DVI-D.

Application Example
Bus Guidance Computer System
The PowerPC®-based computers used in this project control the speed and direction of a driverless bus, with the bus moving on an "invisible" lane. The required safety level SIL-4 is achieved through a combination of redundancy, a fail-safe CAN communication infrastructure and a certified operating system/BSP. Every system consists of three single-board computers in a redundant 2-out-of-3 configuration, each installed in a different place in the bus to avoid a complete system failure in case of a vehicle collision.

This custom-designed intelligent display is a core element of "Precision Farming" technology. The 12.1" touch display computer can be used to control farming machines like combine harvesters quickly and easily. The tasks of the mobile telemetry control system include a GPS-controlled fleet management (optimized driving on large fields and coordination of escort vehicles), data acquisition (positionally accurate gathering of amount and quality of harvest, humidity...), data storage (to make the gathered data usable, e.g., for optimized fertilizer distribution), displaying the video feed from external cameras, etc.
