Fuel Efficient Demonstrator (FED) Alpha In-dash Vehicle Display Transition to Apple iPad for Reduced SWAP-C

Abstract

This paper discusses the transition of the Fuel Efficient Demonstrator In-dash Vehicle Display (FED IDVD) from a ruggedized computer to an Apple iPad. The hardware differences between the original IDVD used in the vehicle and the iPad are discussed, as well as the differences in developing the software. A high level overview of the development of the iPad application is given, along with some code examples and comparisons with the original code as well as code examples compared to the original code. The reduced size, weight, power and cost (SWAP-C) are examined, and lessons learned from this project are discussed.
