1. An acceleration gauge for a vehicle, comprising:

  • a first solid state accelerometer mounted along one axis of the vehicle and responsive to the vehicle movement along said one axis to generate a first acceleration signal;

    a second solid state accelerometer mounted along a second axis of the vehicle and responsive to the vehicle movement along said second axis to generate a second acceleration signal;

    a third solid state accelerometer mounted along a third axis of the vehicle and responsive to the vehicle movement along said third axis to generate a third acceleration signal;

    a housing;

    a microcomputer located in said housing and having an input for receiving said acceleration signals, a memory, an algorithm stored in said memory, calculation means responsive to said algorithm and said acceleration signals for generating control signals;

    power driver means responsive to said control signals for generating driver signals; and

    display means responsive to said driver signals for generating alpha-numeric displays giving acceleration values of the vehicle movement in all three axes in human readable form.
