Abstract: A system for monitoring certain vehicle operating information and recording other data includes a vehicle interface unit (22) permanently mounted to a vehicle, and a data recorder unit (20) removably interconnectable with the vehicle interface unit (22). The vehicle interface unit (22) receives signals from the vehicle through the vehicle's interface connector (24), such as signals pertaining to distance traveled and other operating characteristics, e.g. operation of headlights, directional signals, brakes, or seat belts, and such signals are communicated through a communications link to the data recorder unit (20). The data recorder unit (20) includes a memory (250) in which such information is stored, and the data recorder unit (20) can be disconnected from the vehicle interface unit (22) and interconnected with an external device such as a computer (100) or printer (102) for outputting information stored in the memory (250). The data recorder unit (20) can also be used to store other information, such as pertaining to business expenses or the like. The data recorder unit (20) allows an operator to designate whether the miles traveled by the vehicle are for business or personal use, thus enabling the operator to keep close track of business or personal use of the vehicle and other expenses incurred by the operator. Information stored in the data recorder unit (20) can either be printed out on a printer (102) or download into a computer (100) for generating a subsequent printed report.

Abstract: In order to record vehicle driving data with a higher resolution, in particular at the beginning of an accident, a memory control is disclosed which permanently scans with two different frequencies (f1 and f2) the analog measurement signals (1) detected by a measurement sensor of a data processing device suitable for a vehicle, once the analog signals have been digitalized, and which stores them in two parallel ring memories (22 and 23) clocked at the f1 and f2 frequencies. When an accident is recognized, the ring memory (22) clocked at the slower frequency is stopped once a determined follow-up time (9) has elapsed, and at the same time data storage in the ring memory (23) clocked at the higher frequency is immediately interrupted and transferred to another semiconductor memory (26) in order to maintain high-frequency data recording for the duration of the accident phase.

Abstract: In the field of engine-powered vehicles is desirable to monitor vehicle operating parameters and provide a vehicle operator with an indication when the monitored parameters enter undesirable operating conditions. It is further desirable in many instances to provide a visual indication of the relative magnitude of the sensed parameter which is in an undesirable operating condition. The subject invention provides an apparatus (10) for monitoring the operating condition of a vehicle of the type having a plurality of sensor devices (12) for sensing separate vehicle parameters and producing respective parameter signals responsive to the sensed parameters. The apparatus (10) includes a processor means (14) for receiving the parameter signals, processing each of the parameter signals to determine if the associated sensed parameter is in an undesirable operating condition, and producing respective display control signals in response to the parameter signals indicating undesirable operating conditions for the sensed parameters, respectively. The apparatus (10) further includes a display device (18) for receiving the display control signals and sequentially providing a visual indication of the magnitude of each sensed parameter which is in an undesirable operating condition in response to the display control signals.
