Abstract
Electronics and Information Technology are playing a role of growing importance in the automotive market, also for the integration of in-car information systems with the external world. The consequent increasing range of services provided to drivers and passengers requires the study and development of human–machine interfaces able to manage multimedia streams according to criteria of safety and simplicity of use. We have implemented a library of Java components that faithfully reproduce the typically analog look of current instrument clusters, introducing runtime configurability and a limited degree of interactivity on the user's part. Components have been designed to support integration into more complex multimedia systems. The paper presents the issues we tackled in the design and development of mission-critical software and the related solutions. We show the structure and the functionality of the library and the performance analysis of a sample program, proposing a system architecture and discussing problems related to the in-car deployment of Java dashboard applications.
