It gets better! Head-Up Display (HUD)

MUNICH, - Robert Hierl, a Eurofighter test pilot at the sight of this direct HUD commented, "The technology we are still monochrome HUD (fighter aircraft), have not been as great as this!" Yes, HUD this one is more alive!

Head-Up Display (HUD), the information that display the driver's eye level on the windshield, the development and use in cars more intense! Developed especially BMW. Prowess, appear more vibrant, colorful, like video images with high enough resolution.

German premium car manufacturer, said the development of a new HUD program is part of BMW ConnectedDrive and is offered for the Series-5 and optional for all other series.

Safer
According to BMW, HUD was chosen because it is more secure than the information displayed conventionally. It is said, with HUD, the driver can still be concentrated and focused her eyes on the road.

In contrast, in conventional systems, the driver who wants to read the information have to glance down or sideways. For normal driver takes a second to read the indicators that display the speed of the car instrument panel or a glance at the navigation screen. Conditions like that are considered dangerous.

By combining the information on the HUD system, the time it takes the driver to read information much faster, only half the information model shown conventionally.

Additionally, HUD can also reduce eye fatigue. The reason, do not have to change when memlihat objects far and near. In another, a HUD-colored BMW developed this brightness can be adjusted, according to environmental conditions. Hence, the eye does not mertidak memerlufkan adaptation reset each time.

How it Works
BMW HUD works by projecting a virtual image to the windshield at the same height with the eyes or on the hood and can only be seen by the driver.

Reproductive data are influenced by the intensity of the light source is placed inside the instrument panel and emit light through the TFT screen (translucent thin film transistor). After that, the image was transferred to the windshield via a mirror with a particular form.

Serving the image on the windshield or use it as a reflector, including complicated. Because the physical properties and forms a convex glass. The reflection of light lines on the glass produces an image (image) double.

In combat aircraft, the problem is overcome by using additional panels mounted within the scope of the pilot's vision. BMW made solutions utilizing physical phenomena tinfoil thin wafers are grown on the windshield. In this way, the reflected image produced ensured smooth and not distorted.

The advantages of this new HUD-colored, driver's easier to read. Complete spectrum of colors that make more realistic and intuitive impressions. In particular images and symbols. The process is also faster because it does not need to change the password (decode) or translated.

Demgam change the size, the possibility of a collision time occurs can be calculated. The system also uses other parameters, namely speed, change direction and movement of the gas and brake pedals.

To be used on condition pernglihatan different, the system combines four separate Exposure to creating high resolution images and then analyzed. This method is very useful at night when close exposure is necessary to clarify the picture. While the exposure is much used to detect the shape and texture.

At night, the target is determined by looking at a pair of light that move in tandem, in this case using the rear lights. The system works as long as the camera eye is not obstructed, misalya by snow or mud.


Speed
In addition to pelototi vehicle in front, the picture also looked at markers-markers to determine a warning when moving point. At a speed of 56 km / h, a warning icon moving point - solid green that mark active or working.
