Vehicle travel meter
First Claim
1. A vehicle travel meter comprising a first sensor for monitoring a first variable of travel of a vehicle over a route, a second sensor for monitoring a second variable of travel of the vehicle over the route;
- memory means arranged to store a plurality of sets of travel data corresponding to a plurality of locations on the route, each set consisting of a value of the first variable and a value of the second variable of travel;
selecting means for selecting a set of travel data stored in the memory means in which the value of the first variable is substantially identical to a value of the first variable measured by the first sensor;
performance determining means for determining a difference between the value of the second variable of the selected set of travel data and a value of the second variable measured by the second sensor, and display means for displaying in real time the difference determined by the performance determining means to a driver of the vehicle.
