Control Systems NASDPTS November 2016
Presentation Overview Introduction of Control Systems – Emergency Vehicle market System Components Technical Overview Introducing Control Systems – To School Bus Market Features Discussion points Next steps
Emergency Vehicles Controls Systems
Technical Overview – simplified wiring
Configure the first and replicate…
School Bus Control Systems
Smart Controls Unique lighting modes E.g. dark exterior scene Speed related logic LED or Incandescent Many different discrete inputs & outputs managed Can move to simpler light fixtures keep flashing and control with bluePRINT
Reduced Wiring Strategically placed nodes – front/rear Single mux wire, minimal node harnesses Addressable/swappable nodes Can manage multifunction lights/features e.g. white/amber for “scene” lighting modes
Discussion Points Active Safety Management Oncoming vehicles Speed sensing Sirens Panic Lighting Self sensing TPMS ABS Incorporates other existing technologies And More
Discussion Points Passive Safety Management Controls Diagnostics Road based vehicle approach door lockouts PC based Programmable for your unique specifications Monitoring and feedback Connunicates with Telematics Diagnostics In Operation In Manufacturing Incorporates other existing technologies
Questions? Next generation of School Bus controls
