<p>A device (10) for measuring and recording accurate, complete, dated and timed history for the moving speed of a specific motor vehicle. The device (10) includes a removable section (12) and a fixed section (14) identified by a unique code number stored in memory. Device (10) is micro-processor based, bus compatible with personal computers and features low power consumption to allow back-up battery operation during vehicle power source interruptions. Transducer interface circuit (20) picks up pulses that are proportional to the distance traveled. Speed and distance counters receive these pulses and send this information to the data bus. Memory (156) and processor (150) process and store the speed history of the vehicle being monitored, along with other information such as when and for how long the ignition circuit of the vehicle is activated.</p> |
