Gateway system with multiple modes of operation in a fleet management system

A method and a gateway system of a mobile asset are described. A voltage produced by a power system of the mobile asset is monitored by a gateway system. In response to determining that a first fluctuation occurs in the voltage produced by the power system of the mobile asset over a first interval of time, the gateway system operates in a first mode. In response to determining that a value of the voltage produced by the power system of the mobile asset is less than a voltage threshold, the gateway system automatically transitions to operating in a second mode, which is different from the first mode and causes the gateway system to consume less power than when it is operating in the first mode.

11709498 · 2023-07-25 · ·

The invention discloses a method, system and related device of implementing vehicle automatic loading and unloading, so as to achieve the automatic loading and unloading of the unmanned vehicle. The method includes: controlling, by a vehicle controller, a vehicle to drive automatically and stop at a loading and unloading position; obtaining, by a loading and unloading control apparatus corresponding to the loading and unloading position, vehicle identification information of the vehicle; verifying the vehicle identification information and controlling a loading and unloading machine to load and unload when the verification succeeds; sending a loading and unloading completion indication to the vehicle controller after the loading and unloading is completed; and controlling, by the vehicle controller, the vehicle to leave the loading and unloading position when receiving the loading and unloading completion indication.

VEHICLE INFORMATION TRANSMISSION SYSTEM

A vehicle information transmission system that carries out communication with a management server that manages a vehicle includes an electronic control unit. The electronic control unit is configured to acquire vehicle information in accordance with a third sampling pattern that is a combination of a first sampling pattern and a second sampling pattern. The vehicle information is transferred within an in-vehicle network installed in the vehicle. The first sampling pattern is a sampling pattern in which the vehicle information is sampled at a change point at which a predetermined change has occurred. The second sampling pattern is a sampling pattern in which the vehicle information is sampled at intervals of a predetermined period. The electronic control unit is configured to transmit the acquired vehicle information to the management server.

MAINTENANCE SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR ECS ELEMENTS

A maintenance system is provided for an environment conditioning element of an environmental control system (ECS) of a vehicle. The system includes a data collection module configured to receive geographical areas of travel for the vehicle over respective periods of time. The data collection module is configured to determine a pollution value and a time value for each of the geographic areas of travel. The system further includes a pollution count module coupled to the data collection module and receiving the pollution values and the time values. The pollution count module is configured to determine a pollution count for the environment conditioning element based on the pollution values and the time values. The system further includes a reporting module coupled to the pollution count module and receiving the pollution count. The reporting module is configured to generate a report for a user that includes the pollution count.

Systems and Methods for Crash Determination
20180012429 · 2018-01-11 · ·

Systems and methods for crash determination in accordance with embodiments of the invention are disclosed. In one embodiment, a vehicle telematics device includes a processor and a memory storing a crash determination application, wherein the processor, on reading the crash determination application, is directed to obtain sensor data from at least one sensor installed in a vehicle, calculate peak resultant data based on the sensor data, where the peak resultant data describes the acceleration of the vehicle over a first time period, generate crash score data based on the peak resultant data and a set of crash curve data for the vehicle, where the crash score data describes the likelihood that the vehicle was involved in a crash based on the characteristics of the vehicle and the sensor data, and provide the obtained sensor data when the crash score data exceeds a crash threshold to a remote server system.

Record-and-replay control device, replay control device, and record-and-replay control method

A record-and-replay control device includes a video data acquisition unit configured to acquire video data from an imaging unit to capture an image of outside of a vehicle; an event detector configured to detect an event of the vehicle; an event detection direction acquisition unit configured to acquire an event detection direction of the event; a recording controller configured to store video data caused by the detected event as event recording data with a first angle of view; a replay controller configured to replay selected event recording data; and a display controller configured to control a display unit to display, out of thumbnail images of the stored event recording data, a thumbnail image indicating the event recording data to which the event detection direction is correlated, as a thumbnail image obtained by adopting a second angle of view with enlargement in the event detection direction.

System and Method for Scheduling Vehicle Maintenance and Service
20230237857 · 2023-07-27 ·

Described herein is a system and method for predicting when repair and maintenance needs to be performed on a vehicle. The estimates can be based on one or more of in-vehicle sensor measurements during vehicle usage, external observations such as weather and traffic and road conditions and manually or digitally input maintenance and service reports. The gathered information is compared to information in a database from historical maintenance and service and the resulting damage and costs for those. The information is classified by the type of vehicle and the age and usage of the vehicle. Maintaining and refreshing the information and predictive models in the system is also part of the invention.
