A method and system for managing electric vehicle (EV) distributed energy resource(s) (DER) are disclosed. A DER analytics engine may receive electricity consumption data of a plurality of sites from corresponding electricity meters of the plurality of sites, detect EV charging information based at least in part on the electricity consumption data, obtain EV telematics data of EVs associated with the EV charging information, reconcile the EV charging information and the EV telematics data, and generate, based on the reconciled EV charging information and the EV telematics data, models for at least one of continuous EV load prediction, electrical vehicle supply equipment (EVSE detection), and/or optimization for at least one of aggregated load, load per feeder, or maximum revenue for time-of-use tiers.

A control apparatus includes a controller configured to select, depending on a type of vehicle data obtained by monitoring a state of a vehicle, a driver or an owner of the vehicle as an authorized party who grants permission to provide the vehicle data to a third party other than the driver and the owner, and notify the selected authorized party of information prompting for the permission.

An occupant-dependent setting system for a vehicle includes a setting processor, a server apparatus, and first and second authentication processors. The setting processor provides the vehicle with setting to make occupant-dependent setting available in the vehicle. The server apparatus includes a server memory that holds personalized setting data regarding an occupant to be on board the vehicle. The first authentication processor authenticates the occupant on board the vehicle. The second authentication processor authenticates a combination of the occupant on board the vehicle and the vehicle, on the condition that the occupant on board the vehicle is authenticated by the first authentication processor. On the condition that the combination of the occupant and the vehicle is authenticated by the second authentication processor, the setting processor acquires the personalized setting data from the server memory and provides the vehicle with the setting.

A server includes a controller that repeatedly acquires history data for a vehicle, and limits data items acquired as the history data in a case in which an age of the vehicle is greater than or equal to a first threshold.

A vehicle identifier and a nonfungible token (NFT) associated with the vehicle identifier are stored on an electronic ledger. The electronic ledger is a distributed electronic ledger shared between at least a computer and a remote computer. Upon transitioning a vehicle to an on state, the electronic ledger is queried to identify programming instructions associated with the NFT. Upon retrieving the identified programming instructions from the electronic ledger, the vehicle is actuated based on the retrieved programming instructions.

A vehicle setting system includes an occupant data acquisition processor, a server apparatus including a provisional generation processor, a provisional acquisition processor, and a setting processor. The occupant data acquisition processor acquires or estimates physical data regarding an occupant on board the vehicle, at least in a case with absence of a setting value for the occupant held in a vehicle memory of a vehicle. The provisional generation processor acquires the physical data regarding the occupant, and generates a provisional setting value for the relevant occupant. The provisional acquisition processor acquires the provisional setting value. The setting processor records, in a vehicle memory of the vehicle, the provisional setting value as the setting value for the occupant, and provides the vehicle with setting of the provisional setting value.

A testing system for interfacing with a vehicle diagnostic system and performing a diagnostic test on a vehicle. The testing system includes a housing configured to at least partially retain a processor in circuit communication with test circuitry configured to selectively communicate with vehicle's onboard diagnostic system via a test cable. The test cable retrieves diagnostic data from the onboard diagnostic system, and the processor performs a diagnostic test which is sent to an output device for displaying the test results. Results are transmitted to a computing device comprising an application system having an interpreter for displaying diagnostic data on a display of the computing device.

Value-based data transmission in an autonomous vehicle, comprising: acquiring sensor data from a plurality of sensors of the autonomous vehicle, the sensor data comprising a plurality of portions; determining, for each portion of the sensor data, a value based on one or more objects identified in the sensor data; determining, based on the values for the sensor data, an upload policy; and transmitting, based on the upload policy, one or more portions of the sensor data to a server.

A destination recommending apparatus includes: a navigation device configured to collect driving pattern information of a user; and a controller configured to calculate a visit probability of a destination at a current location or the visit probability of the destination at a current time, based on the driving pattern information. The controller is configured to predict the destination based on the visit probability.

Disclosed herein is a method of managing tachograph data based on a blockchain network. The method of managing tachograph data based on a blockchain network includes: allocating, by a tachograph, the block number of a block to be generated for tachograph data collected while a vehicle is driving; generating a block by using a server seed allocated by a server and a seed count value, which is a variable whose value changes each time the tachograph generates a block in an offline state; and transmitting the block hash value and block data of the generated block to the server.
