Abstract

The invention provides a vehicle display system and method. An information display system includes an information display that communicates relevant information relating to the operation of a vehicle. The information display conveys a score representing lifetime or long-term driving or operating efficiency of the vehicle. The score can be conveyed numerically or graphically using a number of indicators. Each indicator may correspond to a different achievement level attained for efficient driving or vehicle use behavior.

Description

technical field [0001] The present application relates to an information display system and method for displaying driving performance information related to vehicle operation. Background technique [0002] All vehicles, whether passenger or commercial, include numerous gauges, indicators and various other displays to provide the vehicle operator with information about the vehicle and its surroundings. As new technologies emerge, such as hybrid electric vehicles (HEV), plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEV), and battery electric vehicles (BEV), helping drivers better understand the Various new gauges and information displays for operations have appeared. For example, many HEVs include gauges that attempt to provide the driver with information about various hybrid driving states. Some gauges will indicate to the driver when the vehicle is being propelled by the engine alone, by the electric motor alone, or by a combination of the engine and electric motor. Similarly, a dis...
