Drivers may not always observe the posted speed limit on the highway or street, in an effort to swiftly reach their destination. If an individual chooses to drive too fast and exceed a posted speed limit while on the road it may lead to a vehicular accident causing damage and time delays for others.
The present invention generally relates to a speed related system. More specifically, the invention is a speed limitation system.
It is an object of the invention to provide a speed limitation system that can automatically limit a vehicle's maximum traveling speed.
It is an object of the invention to provide a speed limitation system that helps prevent vehicle speed related accidents.
It is an object of the invention to provide a speed limitation system that manages and controls a plurality of a vehicle's maximum traveling speeds utilizing a plurality of speed limit signs.
What is really needed is a speed limitation system that can automatically limit a vehicle's maximum traveling speed that help prevent vehicle speed related accidents that manages and controls a plurality of a vehicle's maximum traveling speeds utilizing a plurality of speed limit signs.
The present invention will be described by way of exemplary embodiments, but not limitations, illustrated in the accompanying drawings in which like references denote similar elements, and in which:
Various aspects of the illustrative embodiments will be described using terms commonly employed by those skilled in the art to convey the substance of their work to others skilled in the art. However, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the present invention may be practiced with only some of the described aspects. For purposes of explanation, specific numbers, materials and configurations are set forth in order to provide a thorough understanding of the illustrative embodiments. However, it will be apparent to one skilled in the art that the present invention may be practiced without the specific details. In other instances, well-known features are omitted or simplified in order not to obscure the illustrative embodiments.
Various operations will be described as multiple discrete operations, in turn, in a manner that is most helpful in understanding the present invention. However, the order of description should not be construed as to imply that these operations are necessarily order dependent. In particular, these operations need not be performed in the order of presentation.
The phrase “in one embodiment” is utilized repeatedly. The phrase generally does not refer to the same embodiment, however, it may. The terms “comprising”, “having” and “including” are synonymous, unless the context dictates otherwise.
The speed limitation system 100 includes a speed limit sign 110, a radar producing device 120, a radar receiving device 130 and an engine control device 140. The speed limit sign 110 has a front facing 111 that can be any suitable speed limit sign that indicates a predetermined speed limit 112, such as 55 miles per hour MPH, as illustrated in
The speed limitation system is a system that supports safe driving. The radar producing device is approximately 6-½″ wide by 3-½″ long and emits a radar beam to scan a barcode's disposed on the front of the speed limit signs. Once the radar receiver captures the miles per hour the vehicle should be going, it will use the engine control device to reduce the speed. Parents of teen drivers are among the many people who may find the speed limitation system both effective and convenient to use. The speed limitation system features a radar beam emitted from a radar producing device to scan a barcode posted on speed signs on the road. The speed limitation system relatively quickly and safely modifies a vehicle's speed so that it is in compliance with the rules of the road.
While the present invention has been related in terms of the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art will recognize that the invention is not limited to the embodiments described. The present invention can be practiced with modification and alteration within the spirit and scope of the appended claims. Thus, the description is to be regarded as illustrative instead of restrictive on the present invention.
