MTA Presented An Innovative Human Machine Interface (HMI) System at Electronica 2012
In line with a corporate policy of anticipating the future needs of the automotive market with its cuttingedge offering, MTA has set up a dedicated infotainment team that has developed a hardware and software platform capable of supporting different functionalities.
Elecflexible architecture, that features a new-generation processor with high calculating power. This
module can be adapted to different application needs and provides centralized control for all vehicle
displays – including a head-up display – gathering and routing the information obtained from vehicle
systems and 3G connectivity (as well as 4G technology in the near future).
The new platform is the evolution of what MTA has developed for major car makers, such as smart
dashboards with high-speed graphics and high-performance processors. For infotainment control,
MTA has been collaborating with Pelagicore, a company with long-standing expertise with automotive
application development. Key goals of the system development are intuitive operability and easy
navigation, to ensure safe driving.
To introduce visitors to the great potential offered by MTA's HMI, a demo car premiering some
technology content that will be seen in next-generation infotainment systems was on display at
MTA's booth at Electronica.
The MTA show car has been equipped with a large reconfigurable 12” TFT display that provides the
information for the driver; two 10” multi-touch displays for driver and passenger; and two 10” multitouch displays for rear-seat entertainment. Smartphone connectivity is also available; MTA uses the REALVNC software libraries for this feature.
MTA's show car also features a prototype head-up display that enables drivers to monitor all key
vehicle parameters without taking their eyes off the traffic. The development of this innovative feature
is currently under way, and MTA has been exploring both Direct-Projection and Virtual-Image
solutions, as well as new laser technologies. The light emission from the laser source offers
unmatched contrast, color range and image resolution compared to other technologies currently used
in automotive applications.
