SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR INDICATING ENGINE POWER BAND INFORMATION ON A TACHOMETER DISPLAY

摘要

A vehicle is described. The vehicle includes an engine, a drivetrain coupled to the engine, and a computing device including a memory and a processor coupled to the memory. The processor is configured to determine a peak horsepower of the engine and a first rotational speed of the engine associated with the peak horsepower, and determine a peak torque of the engine and a second rotational speed of the engine associated with the peak torque. The vehicle additionally includes a tachometer coupled to the computing device and including a tachometer display. The tachometer is configured to indicate, on the tachometer display, the first rotational speed and the second rotational speed provided by the computing device.

1. A system for indicating engine power band information on a tachometer, said system comprising a computing device comprising a memory and a processor coupled to said memory, wherein said computing device is configured to be coupled to a tachometer and to at least one sensor, wherein the tachometer is configured to indicate a first rotational speed associated with an engine power band and a second rotational speed associated with the engine power band, and wherein the at least one sensor is configured to detect and transmit at least acceleration data to said computing device, wherein said memory includes processor-executable instructions that, when executed by said processor, cause said computing device to:
determine a peak horsepower of the engine and a first rotational speed of the engine, based at least partially on the acceleration data received from the at least one sensor, wherein the first rotational speed is associated with the peak horsepower; determine a peak torque of the engine and a second rotational speed of the engine, wherein the second rotational speed is associated with the peak torque; and transmit a signal to the tachometer to indicate the first rotational speed and the second rotational speed.
