Abstract: A system and method for providing navigation routing options to a vehicle driver, including estimated fuel consumption and fuel cost. A server collects data from a large number of road vehicles driving different routes, where the data includes road grade, average speed, stop/start and acceleration/deceleration info and vehicle specifications, and the data is collected via a telematics or other wireless system. The server also receives map data, point of interest data and real-time traffic data from their respective providers. When a driver of a road vehicle requests navigation routing from a start point to a destination, the server provides multiple routing options including not only distance and time for each routing option, but also fuel consumption and cost. The estimated fuel consumption is computed using models based on the crowd-sensed data from the other vehicles driving the routes, where the models include a physics-based model and a machine learning model.

The method further includes generating a hop-by-hop identifier for identifying a first Diameter message processor of the plurality of Diameter message processors. The method further includes incorporating the hop-by-hop identifier into the Diameter request message. The method further includes routing the Diameter request message to a first Diameter node.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for producing seamlessly manufactured vehicle components, in particular vehicle flaps, having a continuous support of a thermoplastic plastics material, which vehicle components have at least one transparent region that is an integral part of the support.

Abstract: A method of optimizing equipment usage in a network includes determining wear of a first machine in the network. A state of a second machine in the network is determined. When the second machine will be available for use with the first machine is determined based on the state of the second machine. A state of the first machine is recorded. Optimal usage criteria for the first machine is determined based on when the second machine will be available, the recorded state of the first machine and the wear of the first machine. The optimal usage criteria is provided to the first machine. The first machine is monitored after its has received the optimal usage criteria.

Abstract: A computer-based system that manages the shipment of one or more freight units includes a measuring system for measuring dimensions and weight of a freight unit, wherein the freight unit includes products, a database for storing rules for shipping freight, and a host computer system. The host computer system is for receiving information about the freight unit to be shipped, determining whether the products of the freight unit should be classified as density-based for a shipping rate determination, determining a density-based class of the freight unit, determining whether the linear feet parameter for the freight unit exceeds a predetermined threshold value, receiving a selection input for a selected carrier from the one or more carriers displayed on the web site, and upon receipt of the selection input for the selected carrier, creating a bill of lading.
