Paper Title
Instrument Cluster Configuration Using GUI Based On VB.Net
Abstract
The purpose of the project is to design and develop a GUI (graphical user interface) based Driver information
system. Instrument clusters are the traditional readout meters available in the dashboard of cars and motorbikes. In regard of
the conventional meters that are in existence, the analog meters have disadvantages in lack of storage capability and
accuracy whereas digital meters have display problems in dim light areas. In order to overcome these disadvantages the
instrument clusters can be controlled and made user friendly with the help of GUI. Graphical User Interface allows the
drivers to interact with instrument clusters using images rather than text commands and command linearguments. The goal
is to enhance the efficiency and ease of use for the underlying logical design. These actions are usually performed through
direct manipulation of the graphical elements. This can be implemented in instrument clusters with the help of .NET
software along with the assistance of MS access as back end tool.
