Electric Car Dashboard The Dashboard presents information to the driver from the vehicle systems: Remaining Battery Level and Mileage Estimate Location and Weather Conditions Pressure Level for Front Left Tire Pressure Level for Front Left Tire Child Lock Activation Status Pressure Level for Front Left Tire Pressure Level for Front Left Tire Average Energy Consumption Toggle on/off Rear Display for both Left and Right Sides. Engine Status and MPH (when in motion)
Google Maps Navigation This project has incorporated Google maps navigation with audio Text To Speech (TTS). The application reads out navigation instructions using Text-To-Speech from Speech API for audio guidance.
App for AMB & HVAC AMB stands for the Automotive Message Broker. AMB is a framework for accessing vehicle information from an application without the application having to know the specific details of the vehicle's network. The work for this project is to extend the AMB project so that it can be used to control HVAC settings on JLR vehicles using specialised plugins. Use cases include: Max defrost scenario Fan speed scenario Air distribution scenario Temperature control scenario Air condition scenario Front screen heating scenario Rear window heating scenario https://wiki.tizen.org/wiki/automotive_message_broker
SDL Smart Device Link SmartDeviceLink is a GENIVI project which intends to standardize and wrap the many in-vehicle interfaces which may exist in the automotive context. This project demonstrates the SMartDeviceLink system working on the Tizen IVI platform. http://projects.genivi.org/smartdevicelink
