A concept vehicle will be equipped with many of Delphi’s Integrated Safety System(C) (ISS) current and near-term technologies.
ISS is designed to provide occupants with enhanced protection throughout the entire driving experience. Delphi’s ISS considers the driving experience through five distinct driving “states”: normal, warning, collision-avoidable, collision-unavoidable and post-event. Each of these “states” is designed to help protect occupants while riding or driving Delphi ISS-equipped vehicles.

Aftermarket “Garage of the Future”
Delphi is displaying a section devoted to an advanced “garage of the future” concept, which shows an integrated high technology service and diagnostic center for diesel injection, brake, clutch, air conditioning and other automotive systems.
Delphi Aftermarket Operations studied how independent service specialists can adapt their businesses to benefit from the next generation of sophisticated engine management systems and on-board diagnostics.
Using this information, Delphi’s Aftermarket team looked at the advanced requirements for diesel, clutch, braking and air conditioning businesses, and produced a vision of an integrated service center for the future. The result is a new type of workshop, which will make diagnosing, servicing and repairing vehicles a more consistent and reliable process for Delphi’s aftermarket partners.
To support the “Garage of the Future” concept, a virtual reality program has been produced to give life to the full process from customer scheduling online through diagnosis, product sourcing, repair and billing. Delphi’s vision of the garage of the future will also incorporate training programs, interactive technical assistance, and specialized diagnostic routines.
Many of the concepts being developed for the Garage of the Future will be available within the next twelve months, including: a garage portal website; a Windows-based garage management system; a new generation of electronic diagnostic tools that will include an interface for the new European on-board diagnostics systems; a new diesel workshop standard capable of dealing with the latest Delphi Common Rail systems; and the integration of air conditioning fitment and service into a new Delphi-supported scheme for independent garages.
