Abstract: What is disclosed is a mobile railway car monitoring system. The mobile railway car monitoring system includes a plurality of sensor nodes coupled to an undercarriage portion of a railway car, and a control node coupled to the railway car. Each of the plurality of sensor nodes is configured to monitor the undercarriage portion of the railway car when in motion and transmit information about the undercarriage portion to the control node. The control node is configured to receive the information about the undercarriage portion, process the information to determine a fault condition for the undercarriage portion, and wirelessly report the fault condition to a collection system.

Abstract: A method of operating a driver analysis system, the method including receiving vehicle operation data corresponding to operation of vehicles by drivers, identifying a peer group associated with a target driver, processing at least a portion of the vehicle operation data to determine driving performance of the target driver relative to driving performance of the peer group, generating a driving report which identifies the driving performance of the target driver, and transferring the driving report to a target device for viewing by the target driver.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to motion based message delivery. A method includes receiving an information about an asset, calculating the time required for an asset to reach a safe zone, displaying the time required for an asset to reach a safe zone, displaying a communication options to communicate with a person operating the asset, and displaying a map incorporating the location of the asset, a graphical indicator of the time required to reach a safe zone, and/or a graphical indicator of communication options. Another method may include receiving a request to communicate, determining if the communication originates from, or is directed to, an asset in a safe zone, placing the communication if the asset is in the safe zone, and/or delaying the communication until the asset is in a safe zone.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to generating proximity information. The method includes receiving and processing location information. The location information is then processed. The processed location information is then used to generate proximity information.

Abstract: The present invention relates to using information from a monitoring device and other vehicle information from a supplemental device to create enhanced data about an event involving the vehicle. An event could include vehicle turning events, vehicle acceleration, a vehicle braking event, among others. In some examples a scalar acceleration value corresponding to the vehicle is processed with supplemental information to produce enhanced acceleration information.
