Description

The present invention relates to dashboards for vehicles on water, land, air, and in particular to the use of a removable dashboard in a vehicle for displaying operational information about its condition and making changes to its operation.

Any vehicle dashboard should provide good visibility of all scales and sensors necessary to monitor its condition, while remaining fairly easy to use, to provide all the information necessary for the driver both during movement and during stopping and parking.

The closest analogue can be considered the solution US 20140257623 A1 "Removabledashboard instrument system". The system comprises at least one sensor configured to provide information regarding the operation of a motor vehicle to a vehicle controller, a vehicle controller configured to control the transmission of information related to information measured at least one sensor to a portable communication device for display on the display of a portable communication device.

Geroscope (accelerometer)

The disadvantages of this device is that a portable communication device, such as a phone or smartphone, is used as a removable panel, and not a device specially designed for this purpose, the screen area of such a device (smartphone) is small even if it is, for example, the Xperia Z Model Ultra with a diagonal of 6.44 inches. Such a screen is unable to qualitatively display the mandatory instruments necessary for the vehicle’s movement at a time, such as a tachometer, speedometer, coolant temperature gauge, oil pressure gauge, battery charge level gauge, fuel gauge, odometer. In addition, in the proposed solution of FIG. 6, an example has been drawn showing the engine speed (6.9 MPH), the outside temperature (78 °) and elapsed time (0:23 ET), as well as a grid informing about the slope of the terrain along which the vehicle is moving, accordingly important information about speed and fuel is not displayed. It should be noted that the speed sensor (speedometer) is required to display in accordance with paragraph 7.4 of the rules of the SDA.

In addition, the existing example illustrates digital display, but not with dials, which is difficult to recognize. In accordance with the above, the driver will have to peer and pay much attention to the panel and not the road, which, accordingly, can lead to a decrease in driving safety.
