Driver Interface

With in-depth understanding of mechatronic controls, displays, and electronics, Delphi has developed Advanced Steering Wheel Controls designed to help drivers keep their hands on the wheel and their eyes on the road. The intuitive multi-modal steering wheel controls can integrate innovative features such as reconfigurable displays and switch pads in addition to traditional controls, offering maximum design flexibility and enhancing the user's HMI (human machine interface) experience.

Benefits

• Allow more functions to be controlled without increasing the number of switches on the steering wheel, enabling drivers to select and operate more vehicle functions while keeping their hands on the wheel
• Offer interior styling flexibility
• Support future generations of steering wheel concepts and designs
• Harmonized TALCS (touch, appearance, lighting, color, sound)
• Human machine interface, mechatronics design and systems integration expertise

Features

• Attractive and unique steering wheel controls that enhance character and provide styling alternatives
• Reconfigurable touch screen control
• Soft and hard switches
• LIN or CAN bus communication node, reducing mass, wiring and subsequent cost
• Multicolor LED backlighting available
