Why AirTouch? (from the General Manager of CCI)

AirTouch Creative Controls, Inc.’s (CCI) revolutionary new hand control is ideal for drivers who are looking for ease in operating a vehicle's gas and brake controls.

Creative Controls, Inc. is very proud to announce that we have put the finishing touches on our re-designed “AirTouch” Extreme Gas and Brake Control system. When we decided to go back to the drawing board and re-design the system, we had many meetings and discussions with people in the industry telling us what they wanted or needed from a product such as this.

On the end user or “client” side, we took a hard look at what the person who had to live with this product and depend on it on a day-to-day basis needed. “We need to do it right from the beginning” said Tom Stowers, owner of Creative Controls, Inc. DBA Creative Controls Handicapped Driving Equipment. So the handle was re-designed to give a better “feel” for the client.

The other consideration was the variable skill level and abilities of the client. We decided to address this issue with re-designing our “on board computer processor”. The system now employs two processors to not only ensure a robust system but also enabled us to offer much more in terms of a very “agile” system. We are now controlling the secondary functions through our on board computer. No more clumsy boxes and pendant’s cluttering up the driver space. Just a very elegant LCD display and one elbow button.

On the Driver Trainer side we looked at the challenges of the Driver Trainers. There needed to be a system with flexibility to fit the ever changing needs of their “clients”. There are so many different abilities and skill levels that the Driver Trainers have to encounter on a day-to-day basis, so we took a hard look at what they needed from a system such as AirTouch. One of the considerations was the ability to “alter” the response of the gas and brake control system easily and quickly. It also needed to be “user friendly”. What we came up with is a computer control processor, which has a unique communication capability. With our new system we can now offer a variety of Programs to adjust to each client’s needs.

This can be accomplished in different ways. We now have the ability to download to the Evaluation Vehicle from either a laptop or desktop computer, or the Internet. Yes the system now has an IP address that can be utilized by the Drivers Trainers to dramatically change the level of service they offer. Imagine having a client session at 9 A.M. with a particular set of capabilities and another client at 2 P.M. with a totally different set of needs. You now have the ability to adapt to the clients needs quickly and efficiently. Or on the other hand, imagine sitting in your office and having the capability to change your Evaluation Vehicle’s response from your desk! Now you can with the new “AirTouch Extreme”.
