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.

The invention relates to a method for asseverating video images, photos, audio-video and/or data in general, acquired from different sources (10, 11, 12, 13), wherein the images are first validated to verify the absence of tampering and then subjected to a step of certifying, in which they are encrypted.

The encrypted images are accessible only to authorised and identified users, who are provided with the decryption code. The invention also comprises a system for implementing the method.

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.

A vehicle capable of being utilized by users other than a user assigned to the vehicle is described herein. Such a vehicle may operate in various modes, including a first mode in which the vehicle allows additional users to utilize the vehicle and a second mode in which the vehicle prohibits additional users from utilizing the vehicle. A vehicle may transition from the first mode to the second mode based on various environmental factors, such as, but not limited to, vehicle demand, geolocation, and the like. When operating in a mode in which the vehicle can be utilized by users other than a user assigned to the vehicle, a user who may have been assigned a different vehicle may utilize the vehicle when proximate to the vehicle. Trip information and other details may be provided to the vehicle for transport of the user.

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.

The present disclosure relates to systems, devices, and methods for analyzing health of vehicle batteries. Vehicle batteries tend to degrade over time. The described systems, devices, and methods quantify this degradation (or quantify remaining health of the battery) by comparing average energy used to charge or discharge the battery by a charge level unit to a nominal quantity of energy used to charge or discharge a battery in optimal health by a charge level unit. Charge data for previous charge events of the vehicle battery can be used in the calculation, and can be filtered by identifying qualified charge events based on at least one of a number of metrics. Usage data for previous usage events of the vehicle battery can be used in the calculation, and can be filtered by identifying qualified usage events or subgroups of usage event based on at least one of a number of metrics.

A data logging device tracks the operation of a vehicle or driver actions. The device includes a storage device, which may be removable or portable, having a first memory portion that may be read from and may be written to in a vehicle and a second memory portion that may be read from and may be written to in the vehicle. The second memory portion may retain data attributes associated with the data stored in the first removable storage device. A processor reads data from an automotive bus that transfers data from vehicle sensors to other automotive components. The processor writes data to the first memory portion and the second memory portion that reflect a level of risk or safety. A communication device links the storage device to a network of computers. The communication device may be accessible through software that allows a user to access files related to a level of risk or safety and other software that may be related to those files.

The present disclosure is directed to systems and methods for updating asset ownership for telematics-enabled machinery. In some embodiments, the updating asset ownership system comprises asset entities that transmit telemetry data. A communication interface of the updating asset ownership system can receive the telemetry data. An asset ownership data store of the updating asset ownership system can be configured to store asset owner data that identify designated owners associated with the asset entities. An asset ownership comparator of the updating asset ownership system can process the received telemetry data. Based on the processing, the asset ownership comparator can update designated owners of asset entities stored in the asset ownership data store.

In a computer-implemented method of assessing driving performance using route scoring, driving data indicative of operation of a vehicle while the vehicle was driven on a driving route may be received. Road infrastructure data indicative of one or more features of the driving route may also be received. A route score for the driving route may be calculated using the road infrastructure data, and a driving performance score for a driver of the vehicle may be calculated using the driving data and the route score for the driving route. Data may be sent to a client device via a network to cause the client device to display the driving performance score and/or a ranking based on the driving performance score, and/or the driving performance score may be used to determine a risk rating for the driver of the vehicle.
