METHOD, APPARATUS, AND SYSTEM FOR DETECTING A VEHICLE DOOR OPENING OR CLOSING EVENT BASED ON MOBILE DEVICE SENSOR DATA
20230099553 · 2023-03-30 ·

An approach is provided for detecting a vehicle door opening or closing event based on sensor data collected during a vehicle idle/stop state. The approach, for example, involves collecting sensor data from one or more sensors of a vehicle, a mobile device in the vehicle, or a combination thereof. The approach also involves determining a time period when the vehicle is in an idle state based on the sensor data. The approach further involves determining a vehicle door open event or a vehicle door close event based on pressure sensor data from at least one pressure sensor of the mobile device collected during the time period. The approach further involves providing the vehicle door open event or the vehicle door close event as an output.

Vehicle security system
11608031 · 2023-03-21 · ·

A security system is provided for a vehicle having an on-board diagnostic (“OBD”) data link cable and an OBD port. The system includes, a glass break sensor, and an input connector having a power input configured to be coupled to a vehicle battery voltage input of the OBD data link cable and to provide power to the glass break sensor. The glass break sensor is configured to detect a vibration, air pressure, or audio frequency disturbance and to generate an alarm signal when a disturbance is detected. The microprocessor is configured: to use OBD data to monitor whether the vehicle engine is running; to automatically arm the glass break sensor device when the vehicle engine is turned off; to automatically disarm the glass break sensor device when the vehicle engine is on; and to activate an alarm or a camera when in response to the alarm signal.

Systems and methods for utilizing telematics data to improve fleet management operations

According to various embodiments, a fleet management system is provided for capturing, storing, and analyzing telematics data to improve fleet management operations. The fleet management system may be used, for example, by a shipping entity (e.g., a common carrier) to capture telematics data from a plurality of vehicle sensors located on various delivery vehicles and to analyze the captured telematics data. In particular, various embodiments of the fleet management system are configured to analyze engine idle data in relation to other telematics data in order to identify inefficiencies, safety hazards, and theft hazards in a driver's delivery process. The fleet management system may also be configured to assess various aspects of vehicle performance, such as vehicle travel delays and vehicle speeds. These analytical capabilities allow the fleet management system to assist fleet managing entities, or other entities, in analyzing driver performance, reducing fuel and maintenance costs, and improving route planning.
