ABSTRACT:
An electrical odometer for use in wheeled vehicles, including a transducer coupled in some manner to a wheel of the vehicle such that angular rotation of the wheel produces a series of discrete signals. The discrete signals are transformed into a first pulse train having a wave form shaped for driving a logic element. Optionally, the conditioned pulses may be divided so as to create a dependent pulse train which is then processed to produce a series of trigger pulses having approximately equal duration. A computer means for performing arithmetic operations is also provided, along with some switching means for selectively causing the computer means to perform an arithmetic operation upon the occurrence of each incoming pulse. A digital display is connected with the computer means, for displaying distance values. A means such as a numeric keyboard is provided for manually entering an initial distance value into the digital display. A switch permits selection of either a count-up mode or a count-down mode for the computer means, whereby distance increments may be added to or subtracted from the initial distance value in the digital display. One or more calibration constants, which correspond to the actual distance traveled between trigger pulses, may be employed to accommodate the selected rate at which the digital display is updated.
