ABSTRACT:
An automobile overspeed warning system includes speed sensors for sensing the rate at which an automobile is travelling and speed selectors for receiving an input from the automobile driver indicating a top speed which the driver seeks not to exceed. The overspeed warning system compares the two values and activates an alarm when the desired limit is exceeded. The system can be used in conjunction with an existing cruise control system as a back-up system to warn the driver that the cruise control system has not been reset and also to overcome its many disadvantages, or it can be used independently of a cruise control system to prevent the driver of an automobile from unknowingly or inadvertently operating his or her vehicle in excess of a certain speed for safety or other reasons. The system can be provided as a retrofit kit or as an integral part of an existing micro-processor controlled electrical system within the automobile.
