The apparatus generates a real time signal. A processor receives the vehicle speed input signal and the time signal and generates therefrom an information signal corresponding to certain data. This data includes a starting time and a duration for each period of operation of the vehicle, and a distance covered during such period, and can include an indication of the purpose of the vehicle usage. The information signal is stored in memory as it is generated. An output device, which may be a printer, receives the stored data for output of the data. | |
