Abstract
A display system is configured to be mounted to a vehicle, the system including a display and one or more sensors. The display system may be configured to determine, based at least in part on data from the one or more sensors, a speed of a vehicle to which a sign is coupled. Based at least in part on the speed of the vehicle, the display system may position the sign in a first position based at least in part on the speed of the vehicle being less than a threshold speed, or a second position based at least in part on the speed of the vehicle being greater than or equal to the threshold speed.
Claims20
A vehicle-mounted system comprising:
- a sign;
- a sensor to sense a speed of the vehicle-mounted system;
- an adjustment mechanism to adjust position of the sign relative to a vehicle to which the sign is coupled;
- one or more processors communicatively coupled to the sensor and to the adjustment mechanism;
- and
- memory communicatively coupled to the one or more processors, the memory storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the vehicle-mounted system to perform operations comprising:
- determining, based at least in part on first data from the sensor, a first speed of the vehicle to which the sign is coupled, wherein the first speed is non-zero;
- positioning, by the adjustment mechanism and based at least in part on the first speed of the vehicle being less than a threshold speed, the sign in a first position;
- determining, based at least in part on second data from the sensor, a second speed of the vehicle to which the sign is coupled, wherein the second speed is non-zero;
- and
- positioning, by the adjustment mechanism and based at least in part on the second speed of the vehicle being greater than or equal to the threshold speed, the sign in a second position.
A method comprising:
- receiving first data from a sensor;
- measuring, based at least in part on the first data, a first speed of a vehicle to which a sign is coupled;
- positioning, by an adjustment mechanism and while the vehicle is in transit, the sign in a first position based at least in part on the first speed of the vehicle being less than a threshold speed;
- receiving second data from the sensor;
- measuring, based at least in part on the second data, a second speed of the vehicle to which the sign is coupled;
- and
- positioning, by the adjustment mechanism and while the vehicle is in transit, the sign in a second position based at least in part on the second speed of the vehicle being greater than or equal to the threshold speed.
