An embodiment system for mild hybrid starter and generator (MHSG) failure diagnosis of a mild hybrid vehicle includes a data detection part configured to detect data for determining whether to activate a catalyst, and a controller configured to determine whether there is an MHSG failure using a deviation between a required torque and an actual operating torque of an MHSG after determining whether catalyst activation is needed and whether to start a stage of the MHSG failure diagnosis based on the data detected by the data detection part.

Computing systems for vehicle diagnostics are provided. In accordance with some aspects, a computing system may receive, from a vehicle (e.g., from a computing device installed in and/or at the vehicle), a diagnostic code generated by an on-board diagnostic (OBD) system of the vehicle. The computing system may determine an issue with the vehicle based on the diagnostic code and may determine, based on the issue, a remedial action for addressing the issue and a timeframe for performing the remedial action. The computing system may store data identifying the issue, the remedial action, and the timeframe in a record associated with the vehicle.

Methods and systems of enabling a transportation mode on a telematics device coupled to a vehicle are provided. One method includes detecting a first event or receiving a command for enabling a transportation mode, running a transportation mode power-saving scheme in response to receiving the first event or the command, and exiting the transportation mode power-saving scheme in response to detecting a second event.

In one aspect, an example method includes (a) determining, via a thermal conductivity sensor of an automobile damage detection device, one or more thermal conductivities at one or more locations on an automobile; (b) transmitting, via a network interface of the automobile damage detection device, a request for anticipated thermal conductivity data from an automobile claims system, wherein the anticipated thermal conductivity data corresponds to anticipated thermal conductivities at the one or more locations on the automobile; (c) in response to transmitting the request, receiving, via the network interface from the automobile claims system, the anticipated thermal conductivity data; and (d) in response to receiving, from the automobile claims system, the anticipated thermal conductivity data, displaying, via a graphical user interface, a graphical representation of the determined one or more thermal conductivities and the anticipated thermal conductivity data.

This disclosure relates to a method for situation-dependent storage of data of a system, in which data of the system is detected, is amalgamated in at least one data block and is stored in a volatile memory, and in which, in response to the occurrence of at least one predefined trigger event in the at least one data block, amalgamated data are transferred from the volatile memory into a read-only memory, and in which a time window, in which the data for the at least one data block is captured, is selected automatically and dynamically according to the at least one trigger event.

Techniques are described for correlating entity identification information with refuse containers being serviced by a refuse collection vehicle (RCV). Location data can be collected by location sensor(s) on the RCV at a time when a triggering condition is present, such as a time when a lift arm is operating to empty a refuse container into the hopper of the RCV. The location data can be provided as input to an algorithm that estimates a container location through a vector offset to account for the distance and direction of the RCV lift arm relative to the location sensor in the RCV. The container location can be correlated with parcel data to determine the parcel that the container was on or near to when it was serviced, and the customer or other entity associated with the parcel can be correlated to the particular container based on the analysis.

A system for recording event data of an autonomous vehicle is disclosed. The present disclosure suggests an EDR system operation scheme suitable for properly investigating the cause of a vehicle accident. Subsystems of an autonomous driving control system may determine whether an event satisfying a preconfigured condition has occurred, and send to an EDR system a trigger signal to trigger recording of data elements related to the event when the occurrence of the event is detected. The EDR system may record data elements that are useful to reconstruct a map of an external environment surrounding an autonomous vehicle at the time of the occurrence of the event or to reconstruct an internal environment of the vehicle.

In at least one example embodiment, a computer system includes a memory storing instructions and at least one processor configured to executed the instructions to cause the computer system to obtain sensor data, the sensor data corresponding to measurements of at least one component of an electric powertrain system of at least one vehicle and generate a first digital twin based on the obtained sensor data, the first generated twin associated with a type of the at least one vehicle.

Vehicles can employ onboard telematic monitoring devices to collect vehicle and operation data, such as for improved vehicle fleet management. Such telematic monitoring devices are dependent on power from a vehicle, such that data collection and communication can be interrupted if a telematic monitoring device is disconnected or has a poor connection. The present disclosure relates to battery devices, which provide power to telematic monitoring devices as needed in order to maintain data collection and communication, or other more limited functionality. The present disclosure also relates to systems including battery devices, and methods for operating battery devices. The present disclosure also relates to detecting temperature of batteries, as well as emergency input and messages for telematic monitoring systems.

An information processing device stores vehicle information on each of a plurality of vehicles, and the information processing device includes one or more processors configured to: acquire an attribute of a user who browses the vehicle information; and change a display content that is the vehicle information displayed on a terminal device based on the attribute.
