The best driver’s workplace is modular, innovative, and award-winning.

State-of-the-art technology in an innovative design that blends seamlessly into the design concepts of the latest generation of city buses: The modular driver’s workplace leaves nothing to be desired. With extensive configuration options, this driver’s workplace can be adapted to a wide variety of needs. Intelligence included. And we’re not the only ones excited about this product: The iF Design Award and German Design Award juries are, too. The modular driver’s workplace from Continental is an attractive, flexible, and highly functional workplace that has no equal.

The modular driver’s workplace makes fully automated scenarios feasible. Individual driver profiles will be saved and retrieved at the touch of a button. In addition, cameras can be used to recognize drivers. With an intelligent image processing algorithm, the driver could automatically be recognized before starting his or her shift with the seat and steering column automatically being adjusted to their stored profiles.

There are countless interpretations of what the optimal HMI should look like. But there’s one thing everyone agrees on: Intelligent operating concepts can make the driver’s work easier. By providing the right information at the right time and offering adequate operating options, drivers can focus on what’s important. Develop innovative display concepts for driving, a display scenario for the bus stop and another one for break mode. That way you always make the most of the possibilities offered by the modular driver’s workplace. Drivers will love it. Function, safety, and comfort increase in equal measure. The cockpit blends into the vehicle perfectly and enhances the look and feel of the vehicle and transportation company.

What makes the hardware design of the modular driver’s workplace so special is its modularity. The freely programmable electronic components of the displays and control modules offer virtually complete freedom. Perfect for non-homogeneous fleets! The components are freely programmable for a particular look and feel. That’s especially beneficial for vehicles where the customized look of the cockpit is important, such as intercity and tour buses. The display with the electronics unit and the board for the control panel come from Continental, and the individual dashboard body from the vehicle manufacturer. The logic is programmed on the same development platform as the fully housed components of the modular driver’s workplace. The functions and libraries can be shared. This approach significantly reduces the development effort, particularly for mixed vehicle fleets.
