is an electronic, modular system for steering and braking of a vehicle. It allows people with various physical impairments to drive a car in a safe and comfortable manner.

2 is an electronic, modular system for steering and braking of a vehicle. It allows people with various physical impairments to drive a car in a safe and comfortable manner. is installed in a conventional vehicle and is easy to use. Furthermore, it leaves open the possibility to steer the vehicle in a conventional manner. Individual and safe Various physical disabilities require individual solutions to drive a vehicle. The modular system therefore offers different operating units. These are programmed to the specific needs and can be adjusted by the car adaptation company upon request. Thus steering, accelerating and braking corresponds to each individual's personal needs. Each steering and braking request is transmitted entirely through an electronic connection to the wheel. This "drive-by-wire" technology is state of the art. Two separate branches monitor each other and make sure that in case of failure the functionality remains. Therefore "drive-by-wire" provides safe driving at all times. with 4 way joystick 2

Thanks to the speed-dependant steering ratio, it is easy to control the vehicle even at higher speeds and to safely keep the car on track.

3 Relaxed driving experience Due to the active force feedback provides a comfortable driving feeling. Force feedback is the return signal from the steering forces back to the driver and is adjusted according to each individual s needs. Thanks to the speed-dependant steering ratio, it is easy to control the vehicle even at higher speeds and to safely keep the car on track. Certified and tested complies with European standards ECE R79 (steering) and ECE R13H (braking). In addition, vehicle specific reports for the vehicle classes M1/N1 (vehicles up to 3.5 tonnes) are available. Thus fulfils all technical requirements in terms of safety. Due to the various adabtable operating units of driving becomes safe and comfortable - despite muscle disease, paralysis or abnormality of the arms and legs. 3
