Abstract
According to the invention, an in-vehicle device for evaluating received position signals from at least one transmitter located outside a vehicle is proposed, which from subsequently ascertained position data determines various motion parameters of the vehicle. These motion parameters, such as the vehicle speed, acceleration, and change in rotational and directional angles are used to control devices for the vehicle or the engine. For instance, from the ascertained speed signal, an ABS brake system [!] or a vehicle speed limiter [cruise control?] can be controlled. Alternatively, the motion parameters can be output on a display.
Claims10
An in-vehicle device for evaluation received position signals from at least one transmitter, located outside a vehicle, that can be used to determine the position of the vehicle, characterized in that the in-vehicle device (1) has means (4) with which motion parameters of the vehicle (10) can be determined from the position data of the vehicle (10).
The in-vehicle device of one of the foregoing claims, characterized in that the means (4) determine the position at at least one point of the vehicle (10) three-dimensionally. [German literally says determine the positional determination at at least one point . . . ]
The in-vehicle device of one of the foregoing claims, characterized in that a display (9) can be provided for outputting a motion parameter.
The vehicle speed controller [sic—different term] of one of the foregoing claims, characterized in that the transmitter (2) is part of a satellite system, preferably the global positioning system.
