The modification is effective for use in an electronic taximeter through its ability to electrically compensate for variations in distance traveled per a predetermined number of degrees of revolutions of wheels of a vehicle in accordance with different makes and models of the vehicle. In one of the preferred forms wherein the taximeter electronics comprises means for producing only one set of electric pulses corresponding to distance traveled for the purpose of performing tariff calculations, the modification scheme provides respective one of binary-coded compensation signals dependent upon unique distance traveled per a predetermined number of degrees of the wheel revolutions of the vehicle on which the taximeter is installed, during calculation. In another form wherein the electronics comprising two sets of electric pulses corresponding to distance traveled and time of hire, although the distance pulses are subject to distance compensation, the compensation procedure is inhibited on the time pulses.
