Display and Camera Solutions for Commercial Vehicles

Indirect vision, driver assistance, and fleet availability

In commercial vehicles, the visual interface is key to safe maneuvers, efficient routes, and low operating costs. Drivers must quickly assess turning, reversing, maneuvering, and diagnostic situations—day or night, in tunnels, in the rain, or in backlight conditions. VIA optronics develops rugged display, touch, and camera solutions for digital mirrors, rearview and turn-assist features, fleet and diagnostic data, and software-defined cockpit functions.

VIA optronics combines expertise in displays, touch technology, and cameras with patented optical bonding technology and scalable manufacturing.

Reliably Capturing Indirect Vision

Digital mirrors, front-view, and rear-view applications help drivers identify critical areas around the vehicle more quickly. VIA combines suitable camera, and display solutions for applications such as mirror replacement, blind-spot, and lane-change assistance.

  • Mirror Replacement, Front-View, and Rear-View Applications
  • Blind-Spot and Lane-Change Assistance
  • Consistent image quality during daytime, nighttime, in tunnels, and in backlit conditions

Safe Assistance for Maneuvering and Parking

When reversing, turning, and maneuvering, a clear, low-distraction view in the cockpit is essential. Camera views for reversing and close-range situations, as well as wide- and ultra-wide-angle FOV options, help drivers better assess tight spaces around the vehicle.

  • Camera views for reversing and close-range driving
  • Wide- and ultra-wide-angle FOV options
  • Low-distraction display within the driver’s field of view

Reducing Driver Workload

Commercial vehicle drivers constantly process assistance, vehicle, and diagnostic data. A clear information architecture, ergonomic display placement, and intuitive touch and control concepts reduce eye movements and cognitive load.

  • Clear information architecture for assistance and vehicle data
  • Reduced eye movements through ergonomic placement
  • Intuitive touch and control concepts

Increase Fleet Availability

Rugged components, service-oriented HMI concepts, and retrofit options support long vehicle lifecycles. Diagnostic and service data can be displayed on the HMI, making operations and maintenance easier to plan.

  • Rugged components for a long service life
  • Diagnostic and service data on the HMI
  • Retrofit options for existing fleets

Accelerating Series Integration

For new platforms and vehicle modifications, VIA utilizes different camera, lens, and housing options as well as pre-validated designs. Coordination of interfaces and installation space should begin as early as the concept phase.
