A system to augment the collected odometer data points with more precise location data which provides an indication of a location of a vehicle associated with the odometer at a given time, such as Global Positioning System (GPS) GPS data points. Additionally, the GPS data points may be collected at a higher sampling rate than the odometer data points, thus providing a more precise indication of a distance traveled by a vehicle at any given time.

An information processing apparatus performs first correction for correcting, in a case where a loop of a movement path of a sensor is detected, a position and orientation associated with a first measurement point used for estimation of a position and orientation to a position and orientation based on a second measurement point that is present near the sensor when the loop is detected.

A vehicle may include a cluster and an engine control unit (ECU), where the cluster may generate a travel distance signal that indicates a travel distance detected by a vehicle speed sensor, and the ECU may be configured to set a travel distance at the time of an immediately previous key-OFF as a current travel distance when the travel distance signal indicates the initial value at the time of an ignition-ON, and to set the temporary previous travel distance and the temporary current travel distance as a previous travel distance and the current travel distance, respectively, when a temporary previous travel distance prior to a current time point by a predetermined period and a temporary current travel distance at the current time point are greater than or equal to the set current travel distance.

A hubodometer for attachment to a wheel hub comprising an outer housing enclosing equipment for measuring distance travelled based on the wheel hub's number of revolutions, and a NFC-based communications link for transmitting to an external unit data related to the measured distance and for receiving operational data such as the diameter of the vehicle's wheel, and the position of the hub to which the hubodometer is attached. The equipment comprises a first electronic assembly conjoined with the outer housing and a second assembly comprising an anti-rotation pendulum provided with two permanent magnets of opposing polarities, the positions of which subtend an angle smaller than 180 degrees. The first electronic assembly comprises a bipolar Hall sensor moving in a circular path that traverses North and South fields of the magnets, whose output signal is a rectangular wave in which different mark-to-space ratios are associated with forward or reverse travel direction.

The present invention relates to a trailer odometer for measuring distance travelled by a trailer and other performance information. The trailer odometer is designed to be connected to a wheel hub, and features a counter for measuring axle/wheel rotation, a conversion unit for converting rotations into distance in miles/kilometers and a wireless transmission module for transmitting distance information to a remote electronic device. In one potential embodiment, an electrical box, designed to be an aftermarket product, performs the same or similar function and can be positioned/mounted near a hitch of the trailer.

A system and method is provided for determining where a vehicle has parked in a parking lot. The method includes determining a geometry for a parking lot; receiving vehicle event data including periodic vehicle event data for vehicle speed and steering angle; tracking a movement of a vehicle using the vehicle event data; and determining where a vehicle has parked using a steering angle to determine a number of turns in the parking lot geometry.
