Publication number: 20190299794Abstract: Systems and methods are described for tracking charge information of a vehicle. A sensor monitors one or more parameters of the vehicle over a period of time. A telematics device receives and processes the parameters to determine a vehicle telematics information. The telematics device transmits the vehicle telematics information to an entity device.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 27, 2018Publication date: October 3, 2019Applicant: Valvoline Licensing and Intellectual Property, LLCInventors: Adam E.

Patent number: 8554513Abstract: A method of testing and proving fuel efficiency improvements includes installing a telematic device in each of a first plurality of vehicles and a second plurality of vehicles. The telematic devices collect baseline fuel consumption data during a first time period and collect test fuel consumption data during a second time period. Between the first and second time periods, at least one operating parameter of the second plurality of vehicles is modified such that the baseline fuel consumption data and the test fuel consumption data can be analyzed to determine any fuel efficiency improvements caused by the modified operating parameter. To ensure reliable and statistically-significant results, each plurality of vehicles may include 15 vehicles and each time period may include 60 days.Type: GrantFiled: October 28, 2010Date of Patent: October 8, 2013Assignee: Ashland Licensing and Intellectual Property, LLCInventors: Victor Lee Kersey, Adam E. Sworski, Timothy L. Caudill, Joshua Frederick, Tom Bidwell, Frances Lockwood
