Abstract: A method of managing patrols includes one or more processors receiving GPS data from multiple patrol mobile devices. The processors receive GPS data for the patrols and compare the same to GPS coordinates for patrol points. Patrol points are displayed on a digital map using patrol status visual indicators. The patrol status is based upon the length of time between the last patrol of the patrol point and the time remaining until its next scheduled patrol frequency time expires. The map is continuously automatically updated in real time to display the patrol status of each patrol point, for example, as patrolled or unpatrolled.

Abstract: GPS data is paired with planned travel routes for mobile objects including vehicles. A system obtains GPS data from a mobile object and compares the GPS data to planned travel routes. The comparison includes comparing GPS coordinates of the mobile object to the planned travel routes to determine if a specified level of GPS coordinates are within a specified distance or buffer distance from a planned travel route within a specified period of time, the mobile object is travelling in the same direction of a planned travel route, and the planned travel route is unique. If such conditions are met, the mobile object is assigned or matched to a planned travel route.

Abstract: A method for facilitating a vehicle travel route includes accessing, via at least one electronic device, a geographic map stored in a memory. Travel regions, curb approach settings and maneuver settings are provided on the geographic map, the travel regions being designated as preferred, restricted or prohibited and the curb approach settings and the maneuver settings being designated as no preference, restricted or prohibited. A first set of one or more of the travel regions, the curb approach settings and the maneuver settings are associated with a first travel scenario. The travel regions, curb approach settings and maneuver settings associated with the first travel scenario are displayed on the geographic map on at least one electronic device. A processor generates a travel route based upon the first travel scenario. The at least one electronic device displays the travel route for the vehicle to travel.

Abstract: A method of managing and sharing information based upon telematic information related to mobile devices includes one or more processors receiving telematic data from one or more mobile devices. The processors receive trigger criteria from at least one processing entity. The trigger criteria is based upon the telematic data and represents an event to initiate a request to share information relating to the mobile devices. The processors automatically initiate a notification representing a request to share the information with at least one external third party device based upon the telematic data corresponding to the trigger criteria. The processors then automatically share the information with the at least one external third party device based upon a response to the notification and facilitate display of the information on the at least one external third party device.

Abstract: A method of determining if an object is allowed to board or disembark a vehicle. The method includes determining an object to be a candidate for boarding or disembarking a vehicle at a vehicle stop along a vehicle route. An assignment status is automatically assigned, via a processor, to the object representing whether the object is allowed to board or disembark the vehicle at the stop. The assignment status is based on attributes associated with the object, the street and the stop. The attributes are predetermined and stored in at least one memory storage device. The assigned assignment status is communicated to an operator. Based on the assigned assignment status, the vehicle is designated to stop for the object to board or disembark the vehicle at the stop.
