AUTOMOTIVE ELECTRONIC INSTRUMENTATION-DISPLAYS AND SENSORS

Eighteen papers are compiled on automotive electronic information systems. Liquid crystal and vacuum fluorescent display technologies are discussed. An overview is provided of speech synthesis as another means of providing driver information, and a dot matrix graphic display is described. Display coordinate dimming and visual recognition time of analog and digital systems are addressed. Instrumentation functions discussed include: distance-to-empty, fuel level, time, distance-to-destination, fuel used, and fuel economy. The role of sensors and microcomputers in automotive electronic instrumentation is considered.
