The advanced stage of cockpit development is a key time to focus on the most important metrics for the driver. The two most important things that need to be perfect are the GPS speedometer and the battery voltage gauge. Here’s how to make sure these gauges are providing the most accurate and useful information.
The accuracy of the GPS speedometer is absolutely crucial. The speedometer should be easy to read in all conditions. The use of an appropriate font size and color contrast will make the readings intuitive and fast. It is worth investing in a high-quality screen that will be clearly visible even in intense sunlight.
The battery voltage indicator must be precise to warn the driver of low voltage long before it is completely discharged. This will allow for quick preventive action and ensure travel safety.
Displaying the voltage in the appropriate units (usually in volts) and using a legible scale facilitates a quick reading of the battery status. This is important so that the driver can assess at a glance whether everything is normal.
An additional visual indicator of the charge level, such as a progress bar, can provide a quick overview of the battery status. This is a simple, yet very effective solution.
The arrangement of indicators on the cockpit should be ergonomic. The indicators must be located so that the driver can read them quickly and safely, without taking their eyes off the road for too long.
It is possible to personalize the display, for example by selecting the speed measurement units (km/h, mph) and setting your own alarm thresholds for the battery voltage. This will make the cockpit even more user-friendly and tailored to individual needs.
Designing a cockpit at an advanced stage of work requires special attention to key indicators, such as the GPS speedometer and battery voltage indicator. Thanks to precise calibration, readability of the displays and the possibility of personalization, the operator will gain a tool that will provide him with the necessary information in a simple and intuitive way.
