Interactive off-road vehicle navigation and communication system
The patent US12038301B2 outlines a method designed to enhance the functionality and usability of off-road vehicles through an integrated display and communication system. The method involves supporting a display on the vehicle that communicates the vehicle's current location and operator information. It facilitates the reception of data regarding a second off-road vehicle, including its location and operator details, which are then displayed on the vehicle's screen alongside a map. Additionally, the system can show vehicle fault descriptions and provide visual or textual assistance for troubleshooting issues remotely, without needing to visit a dealer.
Further enhancements to the method include the ability to display selected off-road trails and their conditions, as well as weather data affecting those trails. The communication link can utilize either satellite or cellular technology. The system also incorporates safety features, such as notifying the operator if their vehicle is on a collision course with another vehicle. Users can track other vehicles, receive notifications when they deviate from desired trails, and select routes based on specific parameters. The display can show detailed information about other operators, including names, photographs, and ride statistics, thereby fostering a more connected and informed off-road experience.
