  • Publication number: 20120323404
    Abstract: A system for determining instances when a vehicle's indicated speed exceeds a governing speed includes a receiver to receive information from which a vehicle's location envelope, indicated direction of travel, and indicated speed can be derived, and a processor. The processor is configured to ascertain a location envelope in which the vehicle is located, an indicated speed of the vehicle, and a direction of travel of the vehicle at a sample time. It is also configured to and select the governing speed for the vehicle at the sample time, which includes ascertain possible road segments with at least a portion within the location envelope, eliminate road segments with a road segment direction of travel inconsistent with the indicated direction of travel, and select as the governing speed a speed associated with a remaining road segment. The processor will then determine if the indicated speed exceeds the governing speed.

  • Publication number: 20110301806
    Abstract: A method and system are provided for intelligent fuel monitoring and real-time dynamic route planning for a vehicle. The system includes one or more sensor devices monitoring a vehicle status; and a processing system coupled to the one or more sensor devices, the processing system having a memory and a processor, wherein the processor is programmed to: receive a plurality of data such as: vehicle status sensor data, points of interest data, environmental data, user data, route data. The processor then learns driver behavior from the plurality of data that influences selection of driving routes; processes the plurality of data for a current route; determines an optimal route based on the plurality of data processed for the current route and the learned driver behavior; and outputs the optimal route.

  • Publication number: 20110246067
    Abstract: A dynamic routing system includes a data collection module, a static routing module, an orientation module, a learning module, and a route determination module. The data collection module receives real time trip data corresponding to a moving asset from a remote location, and the static routing module determines candidate routes from a source to a destination for the moving asset. The orientation module is configured to gather publically available information associated with candidate routes, and the learning module is configured to generate a learned route database based on the publically available information from the orientation module and the real time trip data from the data collection module. The route determination module determines an optimized route for the moving asset based on the learned route database. The system further includes a communication interface configured to transmit an optimized route signal.

  • Publication number: 20100179849
    Abstract: A method for identifying backhaul opportunities is provided. The method includes receiving data corresponding to a position, time and status from a plurality of vehicles. The method includes generating a database of trips made by the plurality of vehicles based on the data received, wherein each of the trips is identified with a start point and an end point. The method also includes determining similarity between the trips to cluster the trips, wherein said determining comprises comparing a spatial distance between respective start points and respective end points with a pre-determined distance criteria. The method further includes identifying a frequency of each of the trips clustered made by the plurality of vehicles, wherein each of the trips are actual routes traveled between respective start points and respective end points. The method also includes generating a model for historical vehicle movement based on the identified frequent trips.
