The key function of the vehicle is its ability to communicate efficiently - both with the onboard system and the outside world. The heart of the onboard system is a network computer that links up a number of sub-networks, including a CANBus (for engine, door lock, etc.) and an ethernet-bus. Since these subnetworks all have different clock speed and functionality, gateways are used to ensure proper isolation and harmonious operations. The off-board network connection is provided by a wireless modem. The modem provides the link out of the vehicle directly to the internet service provider. The systems architecture is divided into three sections, dashboard, fond and trunk. The dashboard is equipped with a multifunctional cluster, a combination of an analog speedometer and a configurable coloured display. A central HMI has been designed into the middle of the dashboard as well as a PDA docking station. A separate video screen is located in front of the co-passenger. The system can be controlled either by touch screen, voice commands or steering wheel remote control. The passenger in the fond can use the multimedia system as well. Video screens are integrated into both head rests. A foldable head unit is integrated into the middle armrest. Possible applications are office tools such as word processing, email, internet surfing and games. The presentation will address the trends in the area of multimedia as well as technical requirements on systems architectures and platforms as a whole. It gives you examples on multimedia applications.
