Embodiment Construction

[0012] refer to figure 1 , according to an embodiment of the present invention, a vehicle electronics cluster, indicated generally at 10, is shown. Cluster 10 includes conventional gauges or indicators, such as, for example, tachometer 12 , speed gauge 14 , engine temperature indicator 16 , oil level indicator 18 , and / or other conventional indicators or gauges.

[0013] To prevent traffic violations and help ensure safe driving of the vehicle, cluster 10 includes a speed warning indicator, indicated generally at 20 . In an embodiment, the warning indicator comprises a plurality of adjacently oriented lights 22 which are preferably arranged in the speedometer 14 of the cluster 10 . The lights 22 are preferably light emitting diodes (LEDs) that provide various color indications. Since the speedometer 14 preferably has a dial structure with speed markings (such as speed numbers and / or indicator lines) generally arranged in an arcuate pattern, the lights 22 are preferably arran...

Abstract

The invention relates to a cluster of vehicles with a high speed warning indicator. A gauge cluster system for a vehicle includes a speed gauge having indicia indicating the speed of the vehicle, a needle and a speed warning indicator, the speed warning indicator including being positioned so as to be substantially aligned with the indicia Associated adjacent lights. The control unit receives input including the speed of the vehicle. The GPS provides the position of the vehicle, enabling the control unit to obtain the posted speed limits of the road on which the vehicle is located. The control unit sends processed data to the cluster enabling the cluster to control the lights based on the posted speed limit such that lights associated with speeds below the posted speed limit can illuminate green and associated with speeds above the posted speed limit The lights of the ® can illuminate red, thereby providing a visual warning to the driver as to whether the vehicle is operating above or below the posted speed limit.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a display cluster for a vehicle, and more particularly to a system for a low cost vehicle that uses a Global Positioning System (GPS) to obtain a posted speed limit for a road and to show the driver that the vehicle is posting the speed limit Above driving warning. Background technique [0002] To prevent traffic violations, some luxury vehicles have a conventional system that enables the driver to select a top speed and the vehicle will warn the vehicle that the top speed has been exceeded by an audio signal. Additionally, warning symbols can be illuminated on the vehicle's display cluster. For example, users can select a top speed of 70 miles per hour, and when the vehicle's speed exceeds 70 miles per hour, the vehicle will emit an audible warning to warn the driver to reduce speed. This system is useful, but does not take into account changes to posted speed limits. Therefore, whenever the posted speed limit chang...
