WM Auto Meter- programmable and handles multiple currencies (and gov't issued coupons)

his mechanism is substantially more sophisticated than the simple rate, time and distance fare schedules which are used in vehicle management systems with integrated fare meters in the prior art. The completely customizable events which utilize a programmable scripting language to determine their functionality allow a programmer in the locality where the vehicle management apparatus is to be used to create any function desired including ones that are non linear, geographically specific, or even random.

The mechanism is also not limited to working in a single currency. Each tariff of a fare schedule may be specified in any appropriate currency or even non currency accounting structures such as bonus points or ration coupons. Where an exchange rate exists between the tariff currency and the primary display currency, charges will be automatically translated into the primary display currency and kept as a single running balance. Where no such exchange rate is practical or warranted, such as with the use of bonus points or ration coupons, the primary fare will be displayed, and the alternative accumulated accounting values will be flashed for brief but readily viewable periods on the vehicle management device display means. At the end of a journey, the primary display fare may be converted into any alternative currency for which an exchange rate exists. A country which uses dual currencies such as the US Dollar and Cambodian Real, or the US Dollar and the Mexican Peso, can be quickly toggled between any programmed currency at the touch of a button at the end of a journey. Periodic exchange rates may be updated by wireless or serial communication means.
