Abstract:
A GPS traveling control system utilized in a moving vehicle for receiving signals from global positioning satellites and for automatically controlling the operation of a plurality of different vehicle components in the vehicle, the GPS traveling control system comprising:a GPS global positioning device for receiving signals from the global positioning satellites and then deriving global positioning data about longitude/latitude, time/date, speed, or altitude of a vehicle; a memory device storing a plurality of control conditions relating to control of said different vehicle components and at least one instruction corresponding to each control condition; each control condition defining a judgement condition to determine whether the corresponding instruction is to be executed; and each control condition containing at least one control parameter; and a microprocessor for comparing the global positioning data from the GPS global positioning device with each of the control conditions in the memory device, determining whether the global positioning data is matched to at least one corresponding control condition and, if yes, controlling each vehicle component to which a corresponding control condition is matched by executing the at least one corresponding instruction.
