HMI Solutions for Municipal Vehicles

Safe Maneuvering in Public Spaces—Despite Weather, Salt, and Changing Operators

Municipal vehicles operate in areas where people, cyclists, parked vehicles, and narrow roadways come into direct contact with one another. Street sweepers, garbage trucks, winter service vehicles, road maintenance vehicles, and specialty vehicles require rugged displays and cameras that function reliably at low speeds, during frequent maneuvering, at night, and in the presence of salt, snow, and high-pressure washing. VIA optronics provides specialized HMI solutions for applications in municipal emergency vehicles with long lifecycles and high retrofit potential.
