Data processing system for monitoring vehicle operation

摘要

The system is connected to the sensors monitoring the driving and ambient conditions of a vehicle. It undertakes the complex analysis to determine the optimum safe vehicle operation. Speed, distance from other vehicles, outside temperature, dampness, visibility, loading, vehicle characteristics and other parameters, are quickly identified and compared with ideal values. The system comprises a process (27) linked to RAM memory (28) for storing variable data such as weather conditions, and ROM (26) for unchanging data such as vehicle type, with a further memory (29) for safety values and control operation. The risks and the behaviour of the driver in these traffic conditions over a predetermined time can be evaluated and displayed. An operation centre (23) in bidirectional communication with the vehicle can impose safety controls.
