Abstract: An apparatus is provided for controlling a vehicle air compressor. The apparatus comprises an input for receiving a signal indicative of operation of the vehicle air compressor. The apparatus also comprises a data storage unit arranged to, when the vehicle is in a driving state, store signals from the input. The apparatus further comprises a processing unit arranged to, when the vehicle is in a non-driving state, control the vehicle air compressor to expel moisture from the vehicle air compressor based upon signals that have been stored over a period of time in the data storage unit.

Abstract: Disclosed are various systems and methods for processing and displaying video in a vehicle. In one embodiment, a vehicle video system is provided that comprises a plurality of cameras mounted in a vehicle, each of the cameras generating a video image, and the cameras including a plurality of visible light cameras and a plurality of night vision cameras. The vehicle video system also includes a video processing unit, where each of the cameras and each of the monitors are electrically coupled to the video processing unit. The video processing unit being configured to select at least two subsets of the cameras from which output video images are obtained for display on monitors.

The vehicle video system also includes a video processing unit that is configured to select at least two subsets of the cameras and to generate an output video image that incorporates at least one of the video images generated by at least one of the cameras in a first one of the subsets. The vehicle video system also includes a digital video recording processor included in the video processing unit that cyclically records a predefined time period of the output video image.

Abstract: A vision system interface and method are provided for use in a commercial vehicle. In one embodiment, the vision system interface comprises at least one input through which at least one of a plurality of video signals is received from a corresponding plurality of cameras for display on a display device. The vision system interface also comprises a vision system controller facilitating a selection of at least one of the video signals that is to be displayed on the display device, the vision system controller being adapted to generate at least one message to be displayed on the display device. The vision system interface further comprises a screen overlay controller adapted to overlay the at least one message onto the at least one selected one of the video signals for display on the display device.
