Virtual Dashboard for Tanker Truck

Society has been very concern about the new technologies that are increasing like
mushroom lately. In addition, the replacement of hardware by software has been one of
the major developments in the electronics industry for many years. However, it has
basically been too small to be noticed by the end user. In this new age where everything
is computerized, human become more curious to learn as well as make use of new
application of the virtual dashboard as it grant a significant impacts on vehicle's users.
Therefore, this report present information base on the research involves in Virtual
Dashboard, which is purposely design for monitoring the performance of the truck. This
report features the introduction that explains about background of study, problem
statement, the significant of the project, objectives and the scope of study of the project
research. There is also some part of studies for supporting information or reference to
support the project research. Process of identification is in short talked about in order to
entire the research and describe tools of hardware and software apply to design the
product. The end-result of the research is the static virtual dashboard software prototype
that caters the basic needs of virtual truck.
In shorts, the 2D virtual dashboard is a replacing of the collector of mechanical
instruments by software-configurable display. It enabled truck driver to maintain the
truck's performance while driving. Hence, the interfaces need to be simple and intuitive
to use in addition to provide interaction with the users, in order to increase operation
efficiency. The virtual dashboard also provides a clear visualisation from the other part of
the truck, in recognizable graphics and graphs. A message window indicates the gauges'
performance as well as displaying warnings when the state values approach presets
limits. With this, private, secure, fast digital connection from oil tanker will be directed to
the knowledge of the user.
