PSA selects development approaches which meet specific business objectives of our
customers and help them to organize their business and technology strategies cost
effectively and in accordance with high quality standards. PSA's team of high skilled
professionals has a wide experience of software development using cutting edge technologies
and tools. Some projects accomplished by PSA are described and classified below.
 | The SV2 project is to develop firmware version 2.0 of LDV Streamer running on new hardware. The Light Duty Vehicle (LDV) Streamer is a hardware device that enables OEM customers to retrieve the most commonly used parameters from the diagnostic bus of a Light Duty Vehicle. |
| PSA performed investigation and estimation for implementation of Media library and GPS functionality on the Android platform with the use of additional map service and 3D party library for media. The media library enables a user to listen to the radio and satellite radio as well as to watch TV, and view a picture gallery. The GPS module allows getting location of the device, show location on the map, plan route and manage the Point Of Interest database with the ability to show them on the map. 2D and 3D modes are supported for the GPS Map functionality. The speech module is used for announcing a route and the nearest POI. |
| The project objective was to develop an ABS (Anti-lock Braking System) diagnostic application. Following the SAE's J1587 vehicle communication standard PSA developed additional functionality to display fault code information such as active fault codes and faults history, description of the device, a description of the fault, the device number and the fault number, and the occurrences count for active faults. The diagnostic application tool also provided the capability to clear all historical information. |
| Integration of proprietary technology into Pro/ENGINEER. PSA provided consulting and development services to assist in the integration. |
| Development of a commercial electronic transmission control application for a hand held diagnostic unit. During this project PSA assisted in the development of a commercial electronic transmission control application following SAE's J1939 and J1708 vehicle communication standards, and developed the software under those guidelines. |
| The project objective was to port a 3D dimensional analysis application to HP-UX, SGI, IBM, and Windows 2000. PSA provided onsite development to port the current release of 3D Tolerance Analysis product to Pro/ENGINEER v2000i2. The platforms the product was ported to were: HP-UX, SGI, IBM, and Windows 2000, HP/9000 Series 700 (HP-UXA 10.20), SGI R10000 MIPS4 (IRIX 6.5), SUN SPARC Workstation (Solaris 2.6), Windows 2000. PSA also created installation programs for Windows NT and Windows 2000. |
| PSA was contracted to develop a hand held engine monitoring and diagnostics unit. This hand held display unit is capable of providing a technician with a wide variety of diagnostic information as regards engine status. Development responsibilities for PSA included the processing of all engine control signals received by the diagnostics unit All user input commands are handled via numeric and control keys. Output display is facilitated by a four line, twenty character LCD display. |

| The project objective was to program additional features for engine diagnostics and monitoring units. PSA team made modifications to the application and provided C++ language support to the client. |
| The project objective was to enhance clients' patented Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing (GDT) libraries to include changes for better interpreting the ANSI y14.5 and ASME standards for GDT Modifications included code that changes several warnings into errors, allowing a 0.0 position tolerance when the maximum material condition is applied, check for more than two coaxial datums for a circular runout tolerance, and provision of consulting on various other tolerancing issues. PSA delivered the GDT libraries for Windows NT and several Unix platforms. |
| The project objective was to develop more full featured user interface capabilities and graphics rendering to support customers infotainment system requirements. PSA team developed DVD service capabilities for handling audio playback commands including play, pause, stop, table of contents, scheduler, etc. and implemented flash file system capabilities PSA has worked on various projects involving automotive infotainment systems. Key areas of development have included enhancements to PJWorks to enable a more full-featured infotainment user interface and graphics rendering, and the integration of a vector font engine for use on the SH4 platform (with Amanda companion chip) running VxWorks. The program enables vector fonts with rotation, anti-aliasing and alpha blending capabilities that provides the end customer with the desired performance for rendering navigation information on the screen. |
| The objective of the project was to develop a Multiple Protocol Cartridge (MPC) application to perform service diagnostics and programming functions with a truck using the J1587 network communications protocol. PSA added fault codes and data list functionalities by following SAE's J1587 vehicle network communications protocol and developed the software under those guidelines. |
| PSA participated in testing the server software, monitoring the installation field tests and verifying message handling and faults for the Onboard Diagnostic Unit. The Onboard Diagnostic Unit is a vehicle diagnostics solution that captures vehicle diagnostics information and allows fleet managers to monitor the vehicle states remotely, perform preliminary diagnostics to determine the severity of the situation, and direct the vehicle to a nearby service facility as needed. The Onboard unit then can download the information to hand-held units to determine and analyze the problem more effectively. |
| The project objective was to port an engineering analysis product integrated with the Pro/ENGINEER CAD system to the latest version of Pro/ENGINEER (v2000i2), and to the currently supported hardware platforms. PSA setup build environments and ported the CAD integrated variation analysis application to the latest version of Pro/ENGINEER running on Unix and Windows 2000. |
| The project objective was to port SAE's (Society of Automotive Engineers) vehicle communication standard RP1210A to Windows CE platform. PSA ported RP1210A standard to run on Microsoft Windows CE Platform. |
| The project objective was to port vehicle data system applications to Multiple Protocol Cartridge and PC compatible computer. PSA developed vehicle data systems and ported these applications to Multiple Protocol Cartridge and PC compatible computer. PSA team also implemented a Multiple Protocol Cartridge user interface and designed a training program for developing vehicle data system applications. |
| PSA replaced mouse and keyboard interface of the Vehicle Design Application and provided the client with software design expertise. The project included modification of the existing man-machine interface with the Vehicle Design Application by replacing mouse and keyboard interface with driving the Vehicle Design thermal imaging rendering functionality from an ASCII data script. |
