Abstract
Contactless measurement of the distance traveled by a vehicle during selected time intervals is provided by a device operating on the Doppler principle. The device has a 'phase-locked loop' circuit which generates pulse signals having a frequency proportional to the vehicle velocity. Using the pulses as path length increases, the pulses are added in a counter and the counter output is supplied to an indicating unit to indicate the distance traveled by the vehicle.
