Abstract
System state indicator in particular for a vehicle dashboard, the system having a given use potential and comprising evaluation means such that, on the basis of measurements related to the conditions of use of the vehicle and/or the physical characteristics of the system and/or the vehicle and/or the vehicle environment conditions, the evaluation means calculate at a time t parameters characteristic of the state of the system, characterized in that the state indicator simultaneously displays at time t at least three different parameters characteristic of the state of the system and its range.
Claims15
State indicator for a flat running system comprising at least, for each wheel, a tire casing, a deflation warning device and means for supporting a tread of the tire casing in the event of deflation of the tire casing, the system having a given use potential and comprising evaluation means such that, on the basis of measurements related to conditions of use of said vehicle and/or to physical characteristics of said system and/or to said vehicle and/or to environment conditions of said vehicle, said evaluation means calculate at a time t parameters characteristic of the state of said system, in which said state indicator simultaneously displays at said time t at least:
- the potential for use of said system at said given time t;
- the range of use of said system at said given time t;
- and
- a quantity C related to the severity of the parameters of use of said system at said given time t.
