MONITORING SYSTEMS

摘要

An in-vehicle drive-line vibration monitoring system which includes sensing means (20) associated with one or more drive-line components (7) to sense the vibration thereof and provide signals representative thereof. A control unit (21) receives the vibration signals from the sensing means (20) and processes these signals to provide output display signals indicative of the sensed vibration. A visual and/or auditory display unit (20) displays these signals to the vehicle operator. The control unit (20) may additionally or alternatively provide output signals for disengaging a clutch (4) in the drive-line or changing the operative ratio of a transmission or gearbox (3) in the drive-line if a predetermined vibration condition is attained.
