Abstract
Two hermetically sealed chambers alternately hold the atmospheric pressure in response to a timing pulse generated each time a vehicle travels a predetermined distance. The difference between the atmospheric pressures held in the sealed chambers is detected by a semiconductor pressure sensor disposed between the sealed chambers. Two sample and hold circuits alternately sample and holds the detection output of the semiconductor pressure sensor in response to the timing pulse. A comparison circuit compares the hold outputs of the sample and hold circuits to generate an output corresponding to the difference or the grade of the vehicle. If necessary, the output of the comparison circuit is converted to a pulse signal having a pulse time width corresponding to the output.
