Development Platforms for Vehicle HMIs
In the quest to understand the intricacies of next-generation Human-Machine Interface (HMI) systems in the automotive industry, I came across an insightful article titled “Finding the Right Development Tool and Platform for a Vehicle HMI” on HackerNoon.
This article, authored by Valentin Anisimov, provides a comprehensive overview of the various development platforms and tools that are currently being utilized in the creation of advanced HMI systems.
The article delves into the importance of selecting the right development platform based on an organization’s specific goals and the technical requirements of the project. It highlights the fact that many automotive Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) and Tier 1 suppliers are developing their own platforms and implementations of embedded HMI, Connectivity, and In-Vehicle Infotainment systems. These systems aim to provide advanced infotainment, robust vehicle interaction, and the creation of a smart ECO system.
Anisimov discusses the challenges of implementing these systems and the trade-offs between different platforms, such as Linux-based operating systems and Real-Time Operating Systems (RTOS). The article also provides a detailed comparison of several common frameworks for HMI development, including Kanzi (Rightware), Altia, Qt + Qt3DStudio, EB GUIDE, and Android Automotive.
