SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR MONITORING VEHICLE SPEED AND DRIVER NOTIFICATION
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A system for monitoring the speed of a controlled vehicle driven by a driver, comprising:
- at least one vehicle system configured to provide data based on current driving conditions; and
a controller configured to receive and analyze the data and to generate a speed threshold;
said controller further configured to;
modify the speed threshold when the data indicates that a low visibility condition is present;
compare the speed threshold with the current driving speed of the controlled vehicle; and
provide at least one of a notification and recommendation to the driver if the current driving speed exceeds the speed threshold.

Abstract
A vehicle speed monitoring system and method is provided that determines a speed threshold based on provided inputs from various vehicle systems and measures the speed threshold against the current driving speed. In the event the threshold speed is exceeded, the system notifies the driver and/or makes a recommendation depending on the present driving conditions.
