One of the latest features released by Epic Games for their Unreal Engine is the ability to seamlessly integrate game-quality Human Machine Interfaces (HMI). This way, carmakers can develop vehicles more quickly, although the upgrade is said to also facilitate next-generation in-car communications, marketing and cloud-based services.

June 01, 2021 OEMs are working towards to make trucks less ‘macho’ Truck driving is set to become a fun, enjoyable and attractive occupation for millions of young drivers around the globe as many commercial truck manufacturers in the US, Europe and other parts of the world are currently in the process of designing sophisticated, semi-autonomous/autonomous and intelligent trucks. Truck driving usually is a cumbersome, dull and monotonous job as drivers have to be stuck to the wheel for hour...

Arduino Portenta Machine Control eyes Industry 4.0 Arduino has announced the Portenta Machine Control, a low-power industrial control unit to drive equipment and machinery, aimed at Industry 4.0 applications. For example, it could enable the collection of real-time data from the factory floor and remotely control equipment, maybe from the cloud, if necessary. Arduino also says that enables a range of predictive maintenance and AI use cases. It can be programmed using the Arduino framework or ot...

RAILWAY AGE, MARCH 2021 ISSUE (expanded version): Exploring train control system Human Machine Interface requirements. Requirements for safety-relevant Human Machine Interfaces (HMIs) for train operators are becoming more common around the world. The evolution toward safety-relevant HMIs for train control is already well under way in Europe and Asia, most notably as part of the widespread adoption of the European Train Control System (ETCS), with more than 50,000 miles of the worldwide rail net...

MOSA has momentum The new Modular Open Systems Approach (MOSA) opens the doors to more innovative possibilities, as Paul Garnett explains. The last couple of years have seen the US and UK military adopt open architectures as the preferred alternative to custom and proprietary electronics technology designs. The Commercial-off-the-Shelf (COTS) Initiative was first introduced in 1994 but, arguably, the real paradigm shift took place in 2019, when the U.S. DoD issued a memo...
