  • Publication number: 20060025907
    Abstract: A vehicle information system including a computing system, a vehicle application, an access-layer application, a vehicle-application database, and a communication adapter is provided. The computing system may run an operating system and a plurality of applications. The vehicle application, which is executable by the computing system, may provide policy processing of a parameter received from the access-layer application. The access-layer application has a first interface adapted to communicate with the vehicle application and a second interface adapted to communicate with the operating system. The vehicle-application database may house information for processing the parameter. The communication adapter may pass the at least one parameter between the second interface and the vehicle controller.

  • Publication number: 20050060070
    Abstract: A system, method, and computer program product is provided for remote vehicle diagnostics, telematics, monitoring, configuring, and reprogramming. The system includes an on-board unit disposed on at least one vehicle, an application-service-provider infrastructure, and an interface. The on-board unit is operable to send and receive data corresponding to at least one vehicle operating characteristic. Located on the application-service-provider infrastructure is an application suite. The application suite includes at least one modular application each of which has an associated function that processes said data obtained via the on-board unit. The interface is operable to select from the application suite at least one of the modular applications that will use the associated function to diagnose, monitor, configure, reprogram, and/or obtain telematic information from the at least one vehicle.

  • Patent number: 6714857
    Abstract: A monitoring system that determines vehicle position and fuel consumption in a jurisdiction, and jurisdiction crossings. The system includes a vehicle having a fuel reservoir from which fuel is consumed as an energy source. The system also includes a positioning system for generating the present position information of the vehicle. The information includes latitude and longitude data points. Additionally, the system includes a fuel monitoring device in the fuel reservoir, whereby the fuel monitoring means generates information including the present level of fuel in the fuel reservoir. Also, a data collection device for collecting the present position information and the present level of fuel information. Finally, the system includes a processor located at a remote site from the vehicle, the processor receives data from the collecting device.
