Abstract: The described features of the present disclosure generally relate to one or more improved systems for analyzing the electronic information associated with driving activities (e.g., driver log information) obtained from the one or more mobile computing platforms (ELDs) associated with one or more vehicles to identify a likelihood of a driver resigning or deserting his or her position. Accordingly, features of the present disclosure may identify “at-risk” drivers for the fleet operators to trigger remedial measures to prevent such adverse event (e.g., driver quitting).

Accordingly, features of the present disclosure provide a secure and tamper-resistant way to manage driver log records for audit and compliance purposes.

Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure provide a network control center that coordinates candidate vehicles suited for platooning based at least in part on the hours of service (HOS) requirements, customer constraints, and service time of each candidate vehicle. Further, the network control center may integrate a navigation system that incorporates one or more of the above factors to manage logistics associated with platooning vehicles.

Abstract: A method includes obtaining multiple images of a driver of a vehicle using an imaging sensor associated with the vehicle, where the images of the driver capture the driver's head. The method also includes identifying, in each of at least some of the images, an orientation of the driver's head in the image. The method further includes identifying an average orientation of the driver's head based on at least some of the identified orientations of the driver's head. In addition, the method includes determining whether the driver is inattentive based on the average orientation of the driver's head. Identifying, in each of at least some of the images, the orientation of the driver's head in the image may include identifying a pitch angle and a yaw angle of the driver's head in the image.

Abstract: In an example system, an hours of service system may be integrated with a navigation system and configured to dynamically change a driver's route based on changing real time conditions and remaining hours of service. This system may then automatically route a driver to a new, e.g. closer, stop when necessary so that the driver and his carrier may comply with an hours of service requirement.

Abstract: The disclosure provides a system and method for autonomously routing delivery vehicles. An autonomous routing system may generate, a plurality of routing passes, each routing pass including a set of parameters, by a processor using one or more business rules that describe a set of allowed values for one or more of the parameters. The autonomous routing system may Execute each the plurality of routing passes on a routing platform configured to generate a routing plan corresponding to a single routing pass. autonomous routing system may select, by the processor, one of the plurality of routing passes according to a comparison rule set that assigns a score to each routing plan corresponding to a respective one of the plurality of routing passes. The autonomous routing system may dispatch the selected routing pass via the routing platform.

Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to optimizing vehicle driver performance and route travel. Specifically, tracking an activity level, such as a number of steps of a fleet vehicle driver may enable a fleet management system to increase both an efficiency of a particular fleet vehicle driver and an overall efficiency of the entire fleet. As such, the present disclosure provides for the determination of inefficiencies in a fleet vehicle driver stop location, and optimizes the routes for each fleet vehicle in a fleet management system based on the tracked information.

Abstract: The described features of the present disclosure generally relate to one or more improved systems for analyzing driver performance with respect to a driving event that is correlated with corresponding image or video data (e.g., video captured by cameras mounted around the truck). Specifically, before the driving event is recorded against the driver's performance assessment, the techniques of the present disclosure analyze the image or video data corresponding to external environmental conditions around the vehicle and corresponding to the driving event (e.g., abrupt application of brakes) in order to determine whether the driver was at fault or if the driver actions were in response to conditions out of the control of the driver.

Abstract: Systems and methods for managing a plurality of movable objects are disclosed. The systems and methods include determining a proposed pairing of a first movable object and a second movable object and confirming a coupling of the proposed pairing based on, at least in part on, detecting that the first movable object and the second movable object are moving in unison.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides an automatic loading and unloading system that is adaptable for an array of freight sizes, trucks and/or trailers. In some examples, the automatic loading and unloading may inventory the parcels scheduled for delivery, identify the dimensions of the parcels, and plot a loading configuration that maximizes the use of the truck or trailer. Based on the plotting, the automatic loading and unloading system may direct the automated guided vehicles (e.g., automatic forklifts) to the parcels scheduled for delivery. The automated guided vehicles may utilize the information received from the automatic loading and unloading system to identify a route from the parcel's storage location in the warehouse, for example, to the plotted position in the truck or trailer.

Abstract: In an embodiment, a subordinate mobile communication device (SMCD) receives a content access profile from a dispatcher. The content access profile includes (i) proxy server selection criteria to facilitate the SMCD to select between a plurality of proxy servers based on a current transport mechanism type (e.g., WiFi, 3G, Satellite, etc.), each of the plurality of proxy servers being configured by the dispatcher to provide different degrees of support for Internet-based services to the SMCD, and/or (ii) a set of Internet-based service access rules to facilitate the SMCD to independently determine whether to grant or deny access by the SMCD to Internet-based services based on the current transport mechanism type of a connection between the SMCD and an access network. The SMCD determines its current transport mechanism type and uses the content access profile to selectively engage with a given Internet-based service.

The system may allocate the number of packages to the number of land vehicles. The system may determine a route for each land vehicle that brings the land vehicle within the UAV round-trip range of each destination. The system may dispatch the UAVs carrying the packages from the land vehicle at dispatch locations along the respective route.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and devices for providing hour-of-service (“HOS”) calculations via a web based host server instead of on an onboard mobile device. In the various embodiments, an onboard vehicle recording device and driver-carried mobile devices may operate independently. The onboard vehicle recording device and driver-carried mobile device(s) may exchange information independently with a host server rather than exchanging information together onboard the vehicle.
