<p>The present invention relates to a gear feedback system for use in a vehicle, comprising a gear recommendation means adapted to determine an optimal gear value in dependence of various influencing parameters, e.g. weight of the vehicle, velocity, rotational speed, road topography, and based upon the optimal gear value to recommend an optimal gear of the vehicle. The system further comprises a gear sensing means for sensing a currently used gear and to determine a used gear value in dependence thereto, an evaluation means to analyse and grade the currently used gear, by comparing the currently used gear value with the optimal gear value and based upon the comparison generate a grade. The system further comprises a presentation means to present the grade to the driver of the vehicle, and said grade depends on the time using a non-optimal gear, such that the grade is decreased if the non-optimal gear is used longer than a dynamic time duration, and said grade depends on the time using an optimal gear, such that the grade is increased if the optimal gear is used longer than a dynamic time duration.</p> |
