Differentiate between users in shared touch environments.
Pilot ID technology identifies which user is interacting with a touchscreen or touch surface, even in multi-user scenarios.
Enhanced Safety in Automotive Cockpits
In vehicles, Pilot ID provides the GUI controller with real-time information about the active user, whether it be the driver or passenger. This enables safety-focused features such as:
-
Driver restrictions to minimize distractions while driving.
-
Guided interactions for safer operation.
Pilot ID can also be introduced as an in-life system upgrade.
Beyond Automotive: Privacy & Control
Pilot ID is also ideal for environments where security, privacy, or shared control is critical. Examples include:
-
Restricting access to specific areas or features on a display.
-
Allowing administrators to manage parts of a screen while others interact simultaneously.
-
Applying time-based usage limits to reduce distractions.
PilotDetect
Hands off Detection Feature for Safer Driving
GE-T GmbH and TouchNetix have joined forces to introduce a breakthrough in automotive safety: PilotDetect, an advanced steering wheel Hands-Off Detection (HOD) solution.
By combining GE-T’s innovation expertise with TouchNetix’s cutting-edge sensing technology, PilotDetect delivers reliable hands-off detection that can be easily integrated into modern automotive systems.
Smarter Steering Wheel Interaction
Powered by aXiom's Pilot ID technology, PilotDetect does more than simply detect touch. It:
-
Identifies the active driver through a unique signal ID
-
Enables dynamic HMI adjustments based on the detected user
-
Ensures driver-only access to driver-specific vehicle functions
If no contact with the steering wheel is detected within a predefined timeframe, safety protocols can be automatically activated, supporting compliance with modern driver monitoring requirements.
