The AEVIT™ 2.0 System is the fourth generation of the AEVIT drive-by-wire driving control systems.
The AEVIT™ 2.0 System features the latest technological enhancements to user convenience, reliability, versatility, serviceability, and safety. These new driving control systems are sold as totally integrated units that contain both primary and secondary control options for virtually any motor vehicle with power assisted steering and brakes.
Safety Focused
The AEVIT System have been tested by TUV, NHTSA, Intertek, Bell Labs, ISO 9001, Texas A & M, and The Veteran’s Administration. Complies with all SAE, FMVSS, NHTSA and TUV standards.
Designed for the Driver
The AEVIT 2.0 System and components can be customized to the end-user.
15 Second Disengage
The AEVIT 2.0 System can be disengaged within 15 seconds for able-body driving mode.
Starting with a nearly indestructible roto-molded cover, the chassis measures only 12″L x 7″W x 12″H, saving valuable floor space in the vehicle. The main purpose of the chassis is not only to house the primary control modules, but also allow for quick removal of any module for service. The chassis also serves as the connection point for the evaluation controls, and contains a built-in flash drive for easy software updates and stored telemetry data.
The V.I.M is small and more powerful then the previous Gold Series CPU. This single module contains the termination point for all secondary control wire harnesses as well as a direct connection to the vehicle's On Board Diagnostic (OBD) computer.
This single touch screen is the control center for all operation and programming. All secondary controls will appear on the screen as easy to read icons. The secondary controls are comprised of all other functions apart from gas/brake and steering. These include, but aren’t limited to: ignition, lights, turn signals, wipers, A/C and cruise control. The AEVIT™ 2.0 Display measures 7" x 5" x 2.5".

AEVIT™ 2.0 Input Devices feature dust, moisture, and impact resistant housings to protect against the rigors of typical vehicle operation. They also feature extremely robust internal mechanics developed by EMC for this market over 15-years ago, have survived the test of time. Sealed ball bearings, and precision machined parts are all factors leading to many years of trouble free service. Each Input Device contains three-redundant feedback encoders to track their exact position in relation to your inputs. The “L-Series” input device for gas/brake control, features internal adjustable dampeners to allow for independent adjustment of mechanical “forced-feedback” to the driver. The “W-Series” input device for steering control, features a friction collar for ultra-smooth inputs, and an internal clutch to provide protection for the electronics inside.
The AEVIT™ 2.0 System is a servomotor control system. One servomotor is equipped to depress the OEM brake and acceleration pedal and another is used to rotate the factory steering wheel. These servomotors have proven their ultra-reliable robust design through millions of hours of operation over the past 20-years. The secret to this unprecedented reliability is the “dual wound” redundancy that is exclusive to the AEVIT™ Servomotors; two motors are contained in each housing, eliminating the need for separate backup motors. The AEVIT™ Servomotors are always communicating; the system checks both windings constantly, informing the user of any errors. The servomotor is used to directly control the gas/brake and/or steering.
Installation Examples
Below are some standard installations of the AEVIT™ 2.0 System. The chassis is typically mounted next to the passenger seat; it does not inhibit wheelchair movement in the driver's area. The servomotors are located under the driver’s dash area and connect mechanically to the steering column and the gas/brake pedals. These servomotors can be disengaged to allow operation of the vehicle utilizing the factory controls in less than 10-seconds, and do not interfere with the driver. Display and input will be mounted into place and can be positioned perfectly for each driver. Mounts are available in door, dash, or floor designs.
