When Using the Factory Controls is not an Option

|
All AEVIT® systems operating the vehicle acceleration/braking and steering controls, share the same components. The only difference between the systems is the "plug & play" Input Device(s) that you will use. Each of the systems or "Series" listed on this page will contain these standard components listed here.
EMC offers optional Mounting Systems for the AEVIT® components. Check with your dealer for available options.
Standard Components are listed below:
|
- Drive Modules (2)
- Vehicle Interface Module
- Information Center LCD
- Steering Servo
- Accel/Braking Servo
- Associated Wiring

SJ-Series
The "NEW" SJ-Series is a Steering and Gas/Brake system that utilizes a 6"-10" diameter yoke for steering, and a single-axis joystick for accelerating and braking as a compact input device.
The steering wheel rotates 180 degrees in either direction and returns to center via an adjustable forced feedback mechanism that allows for custom tailoring to the drivers needs.
Special "Hybrid" software has been developed within AEVIT® to deliver the most realistic feeling to the OEM steering, gas, and brake controls yet! These hybrid settings (sensitivity) are selectable on screen via the AEVIT® Information Center, and allow you to create the "feel" of the steering best suited to your driving style or needs!
The molded steering yoke can be fitted with switches to access EMC secondary controls such as horn, dimmer, wipers, and cruise control, or can be used to access voice commands with VIC®. The yoke also contains 3-slots that allow the fitting of EMC steering orthotic devices such as spinner knobs, cuff adapters, and tri-pins.

- Look for this "new" addition to the AEVIT® lineup in early 2006!

J-Series
The J-Series input device is a Gas, Brake & Steering system that utilizes a multi-axis joystick input device. Motion in the X-axis is for Steering and the Y-axis motion is for Gas & Brake. The exposed height of the joystick is approximately 4.25" and an angular displacement, or range, of only 50 degrees is required to move the input from the full left steer position to full right steer or from the full gas position to full brake. As with all AEVIT® Gas & Brake systems, the Gas & Brake input direction can be programmed to be either gas forward or brake forward. The mechanism is extremely low-effort, requiring a maximum input force of only 0.2 lbs, and is internally spring-loaded to return to the center, or null, position. The joystick is coupled to two independent 3-channel potentiometers (one is for Gas & Brake and the other is for Steering). Each potentiometer provides three discrete input position signals to its respective drive module.
The J-Series input device can be positioned for either left hand or right hand operation. The input control enclosure measures 7.0” x 4.5” x 2.5” and weighs only 3.0 lbs. The software within the system provides four (4) unique control algorithms developed by EMC specifically for joystick steering. These allow "on-screen" programming in the Information Center by the dealer and evaluator to maximize the clients input strength and range of motion. In addition to the control algorithms, the AEVIT® joystick steering systems also incorporates software to reduce the speed of the output servomotor as the speed of the vehicle increases. This feature is designed to reduce over-steering scenarios at high speeds.

- The gas/brake direction/linearity and steering algorythm is fully programmable.

WJ-Series
The WJ-Series is a Gas, Brake & Steering system that features a unique input device introduced with the release of AEVIT®. It is a single console with a joystick constrained to motion only in the Y-axis for Gas & Brake mounted on the left, and a 4.5" miniature wheel for Steering on the right.
As for the wheel, the mechanics are exactly the same as the W-Series, but the diameter of the wheel is considerably smaller. The WJ-Series input control enclosure measures 12” x 7.5” x 2.5” and weights 6.3 lbs. This unique input device is designed specifically for clients with limited strength and range of motion, but good hand/finger dexterity.

- The gas/brake direction and linearity is fully programmable.

|
WL-Series
The WL-Series is a Gas, Brake & Steering system that utilizes the same wheel input device as the W-Series for Steering and the same lever input device as the L-Series for Gas & Brake. These input devices are designed to be mounted on each side of the driver. However, they are interchangeable so that the system can be tailored for right or left hand steering. The WL-Series utilizes a dual drive module configuration. One drive is for the Steering servomotor and one is for the Gas & Brake servomotor.
|
- The gas/brake direction and linearity is fully programmable.

|
|
|
XL-Series
The XL-Series is a Gas, Brake & Steering system that utilizes two separate control inputs. A joystick constrained to the X-axis (same as the X-Series) is used as the Steering input and a lever input device (same as the L-Series) is used for operation of the Gas & Brake.
|
- The gas/brake direction/linearity and steering algorythm is fully programmable.
|
|
|
|
XY-Series
The XY-Series is a Gas, Brake & Steering system that utilizes two separate control inputs. A joystick input device constrained to motion in the X-axis is used for Steering (same as the X-Series) and a separate joystick input device constrained to motion in the Y-axis is for Gas & Brake (same as the Y-Series). This system is well suited for persons requiring joystick control but able to utilize dual input devices.

- The gas/brake direction/linearity and steering algorythm is fully programmable.

|
WY-Series
The WY-Series is a Gas, Brake & Steering system that utilizes two separate control inputs. A wheel input device is provided for Steering (same as the W-Series) and a Y-axis joystick for Gas & Brake (same as the Y-Series). This dual drive module system is well suited for persons requiring extremely low-effort Gas & Brake control and a miniature low-effort steering wheel.
