What does tripb mean?
1 Answers
tripb refers to the trip mileage, which separately calculates the driving distance. 'Trip' is an English word meaning short-distance mileage, also known as subtotal mileage. Car owners can use this function to calculate the mileage before each trip or to estimate the car's fuel consumption based on the distance traveled. Newer car odometers include two rolling counters driven by the same flexible shaft, which accumulate the current trip mileage and the total mileage respectively. The current trip mileage usually has four digits for short-term counting and can be reset, while the total mileage has six digits and cannot be reset. Currently, electronic speedometers are becoming more common, which do not use a flexible shaft but instead install a pulse generator on the transmission output shaft. Electrical pulses are transmitted via wires to the instrument panel, where pulse frequency indicates speed and a pulse counter accumulates the mileage.
