Abstract
Systems and methods for communicating optimal driving information through a vehicle display of a vehicle are configured to control position of an actual speed indicator along a scalar element of a display as a function of an actual speed of the vehicle; determine, in response to an actual acceleration of the vehicle, an optimal acceleration for changing vehicle speed; and control position of an optimal speed indicator along the scalar element as a function of the determined optimal acceleration.
Claims20
A vehicle display system for use with a vehicle, the vehicle display system comprising:
- a processor;
- a memory storing instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to:
- determine an actual speed of the vehicle;
- control position of an actual speed indicator along a scalar element of a display as a function of the actual speed;
- determine, in response to an actual acceleration of the vehicle, an optimal acceleration for changing vehicle speed;
- and
- control position of an optimal speed indicator along the scalar element as a function of the determined optimal acceleration.
A method for communicating information with a vehicle display system for use with a vehicle, the method comprising:
- determining an actual speed of the vehicle with a speed sensor;
- displaying position of an actual speed indicator along a scalar element of a display as a function of the actual speed;
- determining, in response to an actual acceleration of the vehicle, an optimal acceleration for changing vehicle speed;
- and
- controlling position of an optimal speed indicator along the scalar element as a function of the determined optimal acceleration.
A computer-readable medium comprising instructions that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to:
- determine an actual speed of a vehicle;
- control position of an actual speed indicator along a scalar element of a display as a function of the actual speed;
- determine, in response to an actual acceleration of the vehicle, an optimal acceleration for changing vehicle speed;
- and
- control position of an optimal speed indicator along the scalar element as a function of the determined optimal acceleration.
