Public Transportation

Computer systems designed for heavy-duty use in mobile environments, such as fire trucks, emergency medical and other public service vehicles, need to meet the following criteria:

Modular design - allows for easy upgrades and expansions
Physical separation of screen and computer (secure installation)
Effective vibration-dampening design of computer case and mounts

Dust- and moisture-proof design
Reliable operation over a large temperature range
Use of a splash-proof rugged touch screen readable in all lights
Minimum of moving parts-preferably flash memory instead of hard disk
Embedded OS to minimize file corruption and computer crashes
Minimum space requirement
Built-in battery backup

Wireless connectivity

"Ruggedized" notebook computers meet only a few of the above design criteria, and are therefore not well suited for harsh environments and long-term use in vehicles. On the contrary, Acura's BOLDER and BRICK computer series were designed with all these requirements in mind.
