    摘要: The present invention relates to a traffic information display system mounted on a vehicle to provide a map which is easy to see and which permits the driver of the vehicle to recognize the present position of the vehicle, etc. A control means used in this system determines a road on which the vehicle is present, on the basis of an output provided from a present position and direction detecting means, and fetches plural road data including the said road from a map information memory means. Then, the control means transforms the coordinates of start and end points of each road present in the road data into coordinates on a display screen, and provides those coordinates and a command to connect the start and end points using a straight line to a deformed map preparing means. The deformed map preparing means displays the road between each start point and each end point using a straight line, thereby providing a map which is easy to understand for the driver.

    摘要: A switch system for an automotive vehicle enables the driver to properly operate various devices mounted on the vehicle without reducing or limiting the driver's field of view to any practical extent. In one form, the switch system includes a plurality of switches for operating various devices mounted on the vehicle; a switch selection detector for detecting which one of the switches is selected by a driver; a display for displaying the result of a driver's switch selection detected by the switch selection detector as well as the operating conditions of the devices as a result of the driver's switch selection; and a reflector in the form of a half mirror provided at a location above a dash board for reflecting the contents of the display so that the driver can watch the displayed contents of the display as reflected on the reflector. In another form, the reflector is omitted and the display is provided at a location above a dash board and below the driver's sight line through a front windshield so as not to reduce the driver's forward viewing field through the windshield so that the driver can watch the displayed contents of the display while watching the road ahead.
