The halo (Patent Pending)
We reinvented the wheel...literally

The Halo is a breakthrough vehicle driving system innovation. We have engineered full throttle and braking into the grip of the steering wheel, allowing anyone who can reach the steering wheel with even one hand to effectively maneuver the vehicle to safety. 

The Halo was conceived while looking at other driving hand controls and realizing we could incorporate full vehicle mobility control into the rim of the steering wheel itself, giving passengers the ability to maneuver even if their driver is incapacitated. 

Retrofit: A retrofittable kit, the Halo can be tailored to most vehicle types as an aftermarket add-on and can be installed in the field with minimal tools or facility requirements. 

 

Changing The Rules: For personnel who risk going into harms way, the Halo is a gamechanger, even a lifesaver. 

 

To help prove our point, here's some Army Infantry feedback on this capability from AEWE 2021 at Ft. Benning:

  1. “Good drivability from anywhere in the vehicle.”

  2. “The throttle not only reduces the time of a downed driver drill significantly, but also eliminates the need to put additional soldiers in harm’s way.”

  3. “Was way faster and afforded more time to other soldiers to render aid to the Soldier.”

  4. ...and our favorite: “I can think of no reason why this device should not be implemented in all necessary vehicles as soon as possible.” ...yeah, we can't either. 

There are 3 Components to the Halo system.

1 - Steering Wheel - Simple swap. 

  • 360 degrees of throttle and brake control 

  • Quick Release available to assist removal of injured driver.

  • Quick-connect wiring for on-the-fly troubleshooting/replacement

2 - Control Module - Controls communication between Halo system              components and with vehicle systems.

  • Receives commands from Steering wheel sensors and translates signal for Pedal Rig Motor

  • Contains proprietary PCB 

  • Programmable for situational or behavioral considerations (e.g. auto-brake, over-throttle)

  • Potential for Autonomous system integration 

3 - Pedal Rig - Until brake-by-wire is allowed, the brake must be                   operated mechanically.

  • Motor controlled by PCB with axle connected to brake pedal

  • Can be modified to connect and control gas pedal as well. 

  • Industrial grade housing to protect against physical hazards
