3.1
What is joysteer®
joysteer® offers the opportunity to people with a disability (users) to steer their vehicle via a
very flexible "user interface", if they are not able to drive by using a steering wheel.
joysteer®
provides a mechanical interface, to which all MMI’s can be mounted (One hand -
/two hand joysticks, micro-
wheel, handlebar, etc.). The broad pallet of MMI’s allows
correspondence with all consumer needs.
joysteer® is designed for additional installation in ordinary road vehicles. The conventional
steer, brake and accelerating systems remain; therefore, driving by using the steering wheel
and pedals is still possible.
joysteer® is modular. The system can be upgraded with further modules at any given time.
3.2
Conventional driving with J-PAS function
The vehicle can either be driven by with the MMI or conventionally with the steering wheel.
When driving with the steering wheel, the motors are also commutated with the J-PAS
function. This allows the steering wheel coming back to the zero position at all the time.
Important:
Assure, that the installation is done in such a way, that the joysteer® System is always
“ON”
while driving, either operated with the MMI or with the J-PAS function. Driving with System
OFF is not allowed!
The J-PAS Parameters has to be set in such a way that the steering wheel returns to zero at
all the time.
