摘要:
A determination is made whether a minimum threshold period (or frequency) change has occurred in an oscillator signal indicating the initial presence of a vehicle over an inductive sensor. The change in period of the oscillator signal is measured over each of a plurality of frame segments. A magnitude of period change in the oscillator signal is recorded. If the number of frame segments that occur between detection of the threshold change in period and the magnitude change in period is less than a predetermined number, the detector does not make a speed measurement calculation. If the number of frame segments equals or exceeds the predetermined number, the time rate of change of the period of the oscillator signal is estimated. A vehicle detector calculates a sensor entry distance for a particular vehicle. A vehicle entry time is calculated by dividing the magnitude of period change by the rate of period change. Speed is then calculated by dividing the entry distance by the vehicle entry time. The speed measurement is directed to an output by activating the output for a period of time proportional to the speed of the vehicle. Multiple vehicles may be detected by adjusting the minimum threshold period change, after each vehicle passes, by the peak change in oscillator signal period caused by that vehicle. Vehicle length may be calculated by multiplying the measured speed by the total time between vehicle entry and exit from the loop area, and subtracting the length of the detection area.

A system is provided for approximating rotational speed of a oscillating rotational member such as a vehicular transmission input or output shaft (2). The system includes a rotational speed sensor (4) and a processor (6) operable to provide at an output signal (S.sub.approx.) equal to at least one of signals (S.sub.3, S'.sub.3, S.sub.5, S'.sub.5 and S.sub.7 S'.sub.7) according to the number of speed measurements made by sensor (4) within a predetermined time period (T).

A navigation instrument for roadway vehicles comprises a first counter for counting pulses each occurring in response to the vehicle moving a predetermined distance to detect the distance travelled from the starting point of a trip, a second counter for counting clock pulses to detect the time elapsed from the start of the vehicle. A microcomputer or digital circuitry is provided to compute on the data received from the first and second counters to derive an output data representative of the average speed of the vehicle over the distance so far travelled and to compare the computed average speed with a desired speed to detect the deviation of the actual average speed from the reference. A comparator is provided to detect when this deviation exceeds a predetermined value to generate a warning signal to alert the vehicle driver to correct the vehicle speed.

A highway detection system may include a telematics device associated with a vehicle having one or more sensors arranged therein, a mobile device associated with a user traveling in the vehicle, and a server computer. The server computer may receive traveling data for a trip of the user from the one or more sensors and via the telematics device. The server computer may then determine whether the user is traveling within a city or on a highway based on analysis of the traveling data for the trip of the user, which may include a statistical analysis to calculate standard deviations of metrics in the traveling data. In response to the determination, the server computer may generate a notification to transmit to the user based on whether the user is traveling within a city or on a highway and transmit the notification to the mobile device associated with the user.
