Battery management system can be used in electric vehicles, electric motorbikes, underwater vehicles and so on. In general, the battery management system should achieve the following functions: (1) Accurate Estimation of SOC: Estimate accurately the State of Charge (SOC) of the power battery pack, that is, the remaining battery power, ensure that SOC is maintained within a reasonable range, prevent from damaging to the battery itself due to overcharge or over-discharge, and display the power energy remaining in the hybrid electric vehicle battery at any time, that refers to the charging state of the energy storage battery. (2) Dynamic Monitoring: In the process of battery charging and discharging, the terminal voltage and temperature of each battery, charging and discharging current and total voltage of battery pack are collected in real time to prevent from over charging or over discharging. At the same time, it also can show the status of batteries, select the batteries with problems, maintain the reliability and efficiency of the whole battery operation, and make the realization of residual power estimation model possible. In addition, the historical files of each battery should be established to provide information for further optimization and development of new types of electricity, chargers and motors, and to provide basis for off-line analysis of system faults. The charging and discharging process of batteries usually utilize current sensors with higher accuracy and better stability for real-time detection. Generally, according to the different front-end currents of BMS, the corresponding sensor ranges are chosen to approach. Taking 400A as an example, the open-loop principle is usually adopted. JCE400-ASS current sensors which can withstand low temperature, high temperature and strong earthquake are adopted by domestic and foreign manufacturers. The characteristics of high precision and fast response time should be satisfied when selecting sensors.

The virtual automobile dashboard replaces the most representative parts of the existing dashboard such as indicators and digits with a screen. Its advantage is that users can define their own instrument system to meet different requirements, which is more powerful, flexible and easier to connect with the network, peripherals and other applications. Virtual automobile dashboard benefits from more powerful graphics processing and display effect, more indicators are designed by quasi-physical method, which can effectively shorten the user's acceptance process. Multimedia entertainment information and basic vehicle information can also be displayed more logically, centralized display helps to improve driving safety, and driving sight does not need to switch frequently in multiple locations; in addition, simplicity. The design can also leave more space for the ride area or storage. Although LCD technology is mature now, it is not only simple to install a LCD dashboard on a car with a display screen. In fact, this is a rather complex system engineering. After changing to LCD screen, first of all, the vehicle information presented to drivers is much richer than the traditional dashboard. The collection of these information, the cooperation of LCD dashboard and sensor, the precision adjustment of display instrument and so on, all need to be overcome one by one by the car factory. And each vehicle must undergo strict high and low temperature test before mass production; as part of the whole vehicle, the instrument panel module should also meet the same high and low temperature test standards. But because the space in the dashboard bin is relatively small, and the GPU of the LCD module, the display screen and so on will heat up in the use process. The higher the resolution of LCD screen, the higher the calorific value. Therefore, finding or developing a suitable hardware product for vehicle interior environment and matching a set of hardware environment to meet the requirements of vehicle use is also a technical difficulty to test the R&D team.

FIC AR HUD design is a kind of projection device, which uses optical projection technology to project vehicle information such as ADAS info, navigation, speed limits, car speed, traffic warning to the driver’s field of view for truck. The driver can move his vision from the dashboard to the road in front, that makes driver can focus on driving safety. Different from the common projection used TFT (Thin Film Translator) and DLP (Digital Light Procession), FIC uses a sunlight readable projection technique without the generation of heat source, and the problem of heat dissipation is easier to solve. Compared with the usual Head Up Display. HUD Display (2013~2018) uses TFT-LED panel, displayed as 2D flat, but the virtual image lack of distance perception and icons will block the front view upon driving. The W-HUD (Windshield-HUD/2017~2019) used TFT-LED panel or DLP projection. The virtual image size of the message display is not large enough and it is no augmented reality to enhance the real world fit. Due to the lack of brightness and contrast, the image is relatively fuzzy on the windshield. The FIC AR HUD design uses the Sunlight Readable technique to project which makes the image visible in the natural sunlight environment with super high contrast and high brightness characteristics. HUD Display Features (2013~2018) ● 2D plan visual ● Display : car speed, time, incoming calls, navigation ● Uses TFT- LED panel ● Small virtual image ● Poor brightness and contrast ● Lack of distant perception ● Icons will back the front view ● HUD volume : at least 20 liters W HUD Display Features (2017~2019) ● Uses TFT- LED panel or DLP Projection ● Virtual image not big enough ● Poor brightness and contrast ● Doesn’t integrate to the front view, lacking of AR visuals ● Imaging is too small ● Difficult to see through the AR background ● HUD volume : about 20 liters FIC AR HUD Design Display (2019~Now) ● SR (sunlight readable) projection ● Super high contrast ● Large virtual image ● High brightness (sunlight readable) ● Distant perception (VID 2 ~15M) ● Icons won’t block the front view ● Able to see through the virtual images without blocking the front view ● Indicates important messages The distance and range of virtual image are affected by different projection angles. The virtual image distance of traditional HUD is about 2 meters, and the image projected by Laser AR HUD can be as far as 15 meters. The car drivers can see the Augmented Reality Head Up Display Design message is suspended in front and actual road conditions, reducing the time for drivers to shift their eyes to the car screen and the road, and reducing the possibility of accidents.
