Patent number: 11858350Abstract: Systems, methods and computer readable storage media provide flexible vehicle status notifications via an instrument cluster displayed on an in-vehicle screen. In some examples, when a non-displayed gauge goes into an out-of-parameter or warning range, the gauge may be dynamically shown in the out-of-parameter or warning state in a container position assigned to the gauge in another display or in a dynamic container position in the instrument cluster. In some examples, a popup notification may be provided to inform the driver of a condition. When there are multiple notifications, they may be grouped into definable severity classifications and prioritized so that a notification determined to be a most important message at the time is presented to the driver in a notification zone central to a driver's field of vision on the instrument cluster that allows for reusing screen space for providing warning and information from a range of data sources.Type: GrantFiled: October 9, 2020Date of Patent: January 2, 2024Assignee: PACCAR Inc.Inventors: Steven Karl Jahns, Ryan Anthony Reed, Jonathan Scott Duncan, Jon Forrest Acton, Jacob Michael White, Raeef Hesham Wahib Barsoum, Brett Grant Kellerstedt, Ian Ramsay Hunt, Hervé Jen Raymond Cecchi, Anna-Magdalena Schatz, Christina Nenke, Marc George Wilczak, Nicole Johnson

Patent number: 11828359Abstract: A system, method, and computer readable storage device are provided for providing a dynamic tachometer. Based on various signal inputs from a plurality of data sources, a tachometer may be dynamically modified to include visual information and assistance to the driver in relation to the vehicle's engine speed (i.e., revolution speed of the vehicle's crankshaft). The tachometer may include one or a combination of: dynamic shift point indicators, a target engine speed range indicator, an overspeed indicator, and a power take-off mode indicator.Type: GrantFiled: October 9, 2020Date of Patent: November 28, 2023Assignee: PACCAR Inc.Inventors: Steven Karl Jahns, Ryan Anthony Reed, Jonathan Scott Duncan, Josef Lotz, Tristan Thomas Pyle, Derek Scott Sancer, Jon Forrest Acton, Jacob Michael White, Hervé Jen Raymond Cecchi, David Michael Gauch, Anna-Magdalena Schatz

Patent number: 11623519Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer readable storage media provide dynamic chassis and tire status indications associated with a vehicle. Lift axle status data may be graphically represented by a lift axle indicator dynamically provided in a shared notification/messaging space positioned within the driver's line of sight during a lift axle transition. The lift axle indicator may include a side-view representation of the vehicle including a plurality of axle sections indicating the status of each axle. The lift axle indicator may be suppressed when air pressure is stabilized. Additionally, a graphical representation of data associated with statuses (e.g., air pressure, temperature) of each tire may be provided in a top-down view representation of the vehicle including its associated tire/axle configuration and the tire pressure for each tire. The graphical representation may be configured to reflect the correct number of axles and tires per position, and may further include a tractor versus trailer designation.Type: GrantFiled: October 9, 2020Date of Patent: April 11, 2023Assignee: PACCAR Inc.Inventors: Steven Karl Jahns, Jonathan Scott Duncan, Ryan Anthony Reed, Jon Forrest Acton, Jacob Michael White, David Leetz, Mark Andrew Wagner, Hervé Jen Raymond Cecchi, Anna-Magdalena Schatz, Christina Nenke, Marc George Wilczak, Nicole Johnson

Patent number: 11584232Abstract: Systems, methods and computer readable storage media provide a flexible and variability-accommodating instrument cluster for display on an in-vehicle screen and a user experience interaction model for providing vehicle status-related information via the instrument cluster. The instrument cluster may be shown in a minimized content view, basic content view, or enhanced content view, wherein each content view may include a varying range of displayed information based on a layout template. The driver can easily scroll between the various content views while driving. The instrument cluster may alternatively be shown in a favorites view, amongst a plurality of preconfigured favorites views associated with different drivers, the favorites view including a user-selected set of gauges in a user-selected layout. A steering wheel-based shortcut control is provided that can be assigned to a changeable parameter and used to toggle the parameter in association with an instrument cluster display element while driving.Type: GrantFiled: October 9, 2020Date of Patent: February 21, 2023Assignee: PACCAR IncInventors: Steven Karl Jahns, Ryan Anthony Reed, Jonathan Scott Duncan, Derek Scott Sancer, Jon Forrest Acton, Jacob Michael White, David Leetz, Steven Robert Rainey, Mark Andrew Wagner, Raeef Hesham Wahib Barsoum, Anna-Magdalena Schatz, Tobias Graening, Christina Nenke, Marc George Wilczak, Nicole Johnson
