METHOD OF INTEGRATED PRESENTATION OF VISUAL INFORMATION FOR VEHICLE DRIVER Russian patent published in 1999 - IPC

FIELD: transport engineering; vehicle driver's information support. SUBSTANCE: primary information from condition parameter pickups is processed to obtain final physical values forming ergonomic forms of presentation of information, including integrated characteristics. Engineering or aesthetic levels of graphic images easily identified at first glance on display are used as functions of selective display image. These levels characterize sound state under optimal conditions, sound state under non-optimal conditions, pre-emergency and emergency types of vehicle state. Formed graphic images are displayed in three-dimensional coordinate system, for instance, in form of polygon or flow inscribed in circle. Transfer from one level to the other takes place automatically at change of vehicle state. EFFECT: provision of maximum safety of vehicle control and complete realized notion concerning state of vehicle at minimum information load on driver. 7 cl, 5 dwg
