A system configured to, and method of, transmitting connected vehicle data from a vehicle that includes carrying out a point of rest area learning process to obtain point of rest area(s); periodically obtaining a current geographical location of the vehicle; determining whether the vehicle is located within any of the point of rest area(s) based on the obtained geographical location; when it is determined that the vehicle is not located within any of the point of rest area(s), periodically transmitting the obtained geographical location; and when it is determined that the vehicle is located within any of the point of rest area(s), either transmitting an obfuscated geographical location or forgoing transmission of the obtained geographical location, wherein the obfuscated geographical location is an obfuscated representation of the obtained geographical location.

The various systems and methods disclosed herein provide for a secure, cost effective, and high accuracy location detection. In some embodiments of the system and method for high accuracy location detection, a mobile location device obtains and calculates location data from a plurality of sources without requiring expensive and power inefficient processors. In some embodiments, such secure, cost effective, and high accuracy location detection by the mobile location device is used in improved parking and payment management systems and methods. In some such embodiments, the location device communicates with remote geomapping servers and payment systems to provide automated parking and payment.

Illustrative methods and systems may determine whether a rideshare is verified based on received rideshare data. A verification code may be assigned to a rideshare trip. The verification code may be provided to a rider of the rideshare trip. The verification code may be received by a vehicle device assigned to the rideshare trip via user input or communication from the rider device. Whether the rider has entered the correct vehicle for the rideshare trip may be verified based on the verification code assigned to the rideshare trip and the verification code received by the rideshare vehicle.

Methods and apparatus for interacting with a tag in a radio target area. More specifically, the present invention relates to methods and systems for monitoring temperature and other environmental conditions in a storage area and displaying environmental conditions as digital content in a user interactive interface based upon energy levels received from a radio target area and content from a sensor generating digital content.

A system for a motor vehicle includes a sensor apparatus having a sensor for determining motor vehicle data and/or driving data of the motor vehicle, and an evaluation unit. The evaluation unit includes an emotion determination unit configured to assess the emotions of the driver of the motor vehicle on the basis of sensor signals transmitted by the sensor.

Several examples of a navigation disruption device and methods of using the same are described herein that use real-time, low-cost computation to generate conflicting/competing signals to actual Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) signals. For example, the novel, hand-held navigation disruption devices described herein (1) generate signals from a simulated satellite constellation, wherein the signals from the simulated satellite constellation conflict/compete with signals from one or more actual satellite constellations, and (2) transmit the signals from the simulated satellite constellation(s) towards an unmanned vehicle. The signals from the simulated satellite constellation(s) cause the unmanned vehicle to compute an incorrect position, which in turn disrupts its ability to navigate and operate effectively.

Disclosed are systems and methods relating to providing intersection metrics based on road network data and telematic data.
