Empowering automotive-grade HMI functionality on motorcycles

We are well accustomed to seeing rich in-car infotainment systems offering apps and widgets that help drivers monitor the vehicle status and the road situation. In comparison, it is quite surprising that the digitalization of the motorcycle cluster is, by and large, so far behind in terms of functionality and visuals. Motorcyclists are much more engaged and absorbed by the road than drivers can ever be and need a clear, steady, and timely understanding of the driving situation, without margin for distraction. The RGNT team takes this matter very seriously. Reliability, safety, and upkeeping are key drivers in the creation of their bikes.

RGNT chose Qt as it offers so many effective ready-made solutions for these purposes. In less than a year, a small team of developers was able to pick up Qt from scratch and to create and deploy an innovative HMI that has nothing to envy to more mature automotive digital dashboards.

"The prototype cluster we created with our initial platform had performance issues that would have impacted the overall motorcycle's functionality. We examined several alternative UI frameworks to fix this, but only Qt met our demands in terms of out-of-the-box functionality, flexibility, and performance. And because Qt is cross-platform, we were able to re-use much of our original environment, just running it faster, enabling us to prototype, evaluate, and deliver quickly"

Kajsa Lampa, Lead Developer at RGNT Motorcycles

The possibility to use Qt to develop on a PC and to build and deploy to target hardware with just a few clicks makes the production process not only lean but even fun. Quick design changes could be implemented on the spot and, at every update, the team could see the UI running straight on the actual moto used for testing. This allowed the RGNT team not only to check design updates in real-time and on target but also to check that the whole UI functionality was preserved or improved. Only Qt offers such an agile development workflow.

The RGNT motorcycles showcase a 7-inch display, powered by a capable microprocessing unit equipped with GPS and 4G connectivity to offer smart navigation, over-the-air updates, and complete control over the vehicle and the road.

"RGNT motorcycles are created by experienced motorcycle enthusiasts to provide the best possible user experience. Our digital cluster combines advanced maps, navigation, and real-time road information systems. With Qt, we were able to build a UI that is way ahead of the competition!"

Gideon Schipaanboord, Head of Marketing at RGNT Motorcycles.
