Dashboards in action

ACTIA have designed dashboards for numerous vehicle manufacturers. We have provided them with an essential part of their vehicle. The dashboard is the driver's "office" and they spend their working lives using it! It is therefore essential that the layout is well designed and planned for ease of use.

The latest generation fully multiplexed vehicles from UK manufacturers Alexander Dennis and Optare, are fitted with an ACTIA dashboard system - fully intergrated with the ACTIA MultiBUS multiplex system.
The ergonomically designed dash has all driver controls within fingertip reach - laid out in an easy to use and understandable way.

The dashboard is the human interface with the bus's integrated multiplex system (that controls and monitors the complete vehicle electrical system.)

Dashboard design

The effective and ergonomic design of a dashboard starts with a blank piece of paper!

We discuss with vehicle manufacturers their dashboard requirements for their new vehicle and then work closely with them to develop and deliver the optimum system.

We often discuss the design with drivers - after all, they are going to be using the systems in the 'real world', their input is essential if the design is to work to optimum performance.

Dashboards are an integral part of our MultiBUS multiplex system. We have experienced technicians working with manufacturers to develop and improve systems and design to create the most effective dashboard solutions.
