Touch screen driving: A novel and efficient design for automation

Abstract

Automobiles are a necessary part of human existence. The utilization of conventional steering for propelling has been a subject of outdated existence from the past century and there is a strong need to shift to better and simpler option. It is widely known that electronic is stated to be the future with imperative of revolutionizing the present day automation by digitalization. In view of the present scenario and subjected needs the work explores and suggests a new technique to simplify driving while ensuring enhanced safety. The proposed system utilizes electronic and touch screen technology and is introduced primarily in cars to corroborate the importance of reducing accidents and making driving enjoyable. The conventional steering is replaced with a touch screen essentially consisting of a panel with multi- utility functions. The use of electronics in steering is a novel concept yet to be explored. A transparent display screen reflects the replica of touch screen. The proposed design utilizes the functional and operational significance of electronics, sensors and cameras in reducing human efforts. The proposed design further ensures the safety with airbags fixed at outskirts of car near the bumper area to make car resistant to accidents. The design retains the conventional steering as its integral part to provide sustainable options for more user friendly driving mode. Practically, the driver in cars with proposed design will have to remain attenuated which will assist in cautious driving. The multi-faceted features of touch screen driving in addition to the one existing will provide safer and enjoyable driving. In a wider domain of automation the proposed design ensures enhanced safety. The requirement of minimum human efforts aided by accurate predictions will make automobile more resistant to accidents. In comparison to the existing automobile systems (cars) being in touch with the current technology on terms of being digitalized every detail provided is precise and strengthens the security levels by multiple folds (makes it theft resistant). The existing design is more feasible and viable to the extent that it can be installed in any car, offers dual mode of driving and requires minimum human efforts. Moreover, the proposed system rests on current technology (of touch) that increases the driving experience and accessibility. As it is linked with electronics and software many existing hi-tech software can be used. Though the proposed design is yet to be implemented, this adaptation of present day touch technology is expected to prove a boon for automobiles and mankind.
