Abstract

A unit fitted on road vehicle's dashboard, to indicate to the driver the Speed Limit 2 of the area of road, and the speed 4 of the vehicle, with flashing of the speed limit display, and or a sound signal, should the vehicle speed exceed the speed limit. The speed limit would be transmitted to the vehicle's unit, by a transmitter 7 mounted on the first and last speed limit signs, of that area.

Description

2363885 This invention relates to Speed Limit Display Unit, for road
vehicles.
A vehicle entering into a speed limited road, the driver should observe their rear view mirror, and forward vision, Observe the speedometer,( on some vehicles the speedometer is not in a position for quickly viewing) and reduce speed.
No observance of these points, could cause an accident, or involve a prosecution for exceeding the speed limit.
According to the present invention.
A transmitter mounted on Roadside Speed Limit Signs, on beginning or ending of limit area Transmitting a signal, of the value of that speed limit.
A unit mounted on top of the dash board showing to the driver, in digital figures: A The speed limit of the area.
B The speed of the vehicle.
C Warning if the speed limit is exceeded.
The specific embodiment of the invention, will now be described, by way of example with reference to the accompanying drawing in which:- Figure 1, Shows the unit and the digital displays.
1 The unit in the form of a small box, mounted on top of the dashboard in the vehicle would comprise of: A radio or other signal receptor.
2 A received signal would be converted to the appropriate visual number, of the speed limit or delimit, and displayed on, one part of the display.
3 The vehicle speedometer would be connected to the signal receptor unit.
4 The speed of the vehicle would be displayed, on the second part of the unit.
The limit signal would be compared with the speedometer input, and should the speedometer input exceed the speed limit input, the unit would set the speed limit display, to flash, and or, emit a sound signal.
6 The unit would be with a supported memory of the speed limit, for parking etc, Figure 2 shows the roadside Speed limit sign, with transmitter, drawn with simulated wave.
7 The road speed limit signs, on the beginning and the end of a speed limit area, would be fitted with a radio or other transmitter, transmitting the appropriate speed limit.

Claims (7)

1 A unit mounted on the dashboard of a motor vehicle, to inform the driver, of the road speed limit area, into which the vehicle is traveling.
2 As claim 1 A drivers information displayed on the unit box, as:- speed limit and vehicle speed.
3 As claim 1 2 A speed limit display, to flash and or emit sound signal should the vehicle speed be more than the speed limit.
4 As claim 1 2 3 A forward facing display on the unit, of vehicle speed.
As claim 1 2 3 4 A radio or other, receiver tuned to transmissions from a roadside speed limit or delimit sign transmission unit.
6 A radio or other, transmitter unit fitted to the start, or end of roadside speed limit, or delimit signs.
7 As claim 6 A radio or other, signal, emitting from the speed limit sign unit indicating the speed limit.
