System and methods for real-time virtual visual in-route vehicle monitoring. System and methods herein provide novel means of monitoring global positioning equipped vehicles, in that tamper-proof identifiers registered on vehicle topsides are electronically imaged by aerospace imaging devices, including manned or unmanned aerospace vehicles or satellites. Transponders of in-route vehicles and aerospace imaging devices correspond, said digital images digitally relay to parabolic antennas, relay to connected networks such as the World Wide Web, are transmitted therein and interfaced in real-time via end-users utilizing computerized devices and applications for purposes of real-time virtual visual in-route vehicle monitoring. Crowdsourced end-users are supplied directives and means via a computerized application alert icon to engage said alert icon in order to alert authorities upon occurrences of specified events such as, vehicle well-being concerns, security or terrorism events.

The disclosure includes embodiments for a location data correction service for connected vehicles. A method includes receiving, by an operation center via a serverless ad-hoc vehicular network, a first wireless message that includes legacy location data that describes a geographic location of a legacy vehicle. The method includes causing a rich sensor set included in the operation center to record sensor data describing the geographic locations of objects in a roadway environment. The method includes determining correction data that describes a variance between the geographic location of the legacy vehicle as described by the sensor data and the legacy location data. The method includes transmitting a second wireless message to the legacy vehicle, wherein the second wireless message includes the correction data so that the legacy vehicle receives a benefit by correcting the legacy location data to minimize the variance.

A disciplined clock provides a disciplined time and a disciplined frequency synchronous with a reference clock. The disciplined clock includes: a time receiver to: receive a common view signal from the common view clock; and produce a receiver timing signal; a local clock to: receive a frequency correction; and produce a local timing signal; a time interval counter to: receive the receiver timing signal from the time receiver; receive the local timing signal from the lock clock; and determine a time difference between the receiver timing signal and the local timing signal; and a controller to: receive the time difference from the time interval counter; and communicate the frequency correction, based on the time difference, to the local clock.

Methods for commissioning a construction vehicle for machine control operations are provided. A GNSS receiver configured for determining position information, tilt information, and heading information is coupled to a rigid member of the construction vehicle. The commissioning process provides parameters that can be used for tracking and controlling movement of an implement coupled to the construction vehicle during the machine control operations.

At least a method for determining risk behavior of a driver is described. While a vehicle is being driven, data is obtained related to the position and movement of a wireless communications device. The data may indicate the type of behavior exhibited by the driver while the vehicle is being driven.

A construction machine includes: a work device attached to a machine body in a raiseable and lowerable manner; an antenna that is attached to the machine body and receives positioning signals from satellites; a machine body IMU that senses information on a posture and motion of the machine body; an IMU that senses information on a posture of the work device; and a computing device that computes posture information indicating the postures of the machine body and the work device. The computing device performs positioning computation to compute a position of the machine body and a variance value thereof based on the positioning signals received by the antenna, subjects the position as a result of the positioning computation to first smoothing processing that is to increase a degree of smoothing as the variance value as a result of the positioning computation becomes larger, and computes the posture information.
