  • Patent number: 12665989
    Abstract: Multiple cameras within a vehicle, such as placed at multiple locations inside and/or outside a bus or semi-truck and trailer, may be chained together to provide a consolidated video stream that may be recorded and/or transmitted wirelessly to a cloud storage device. Rather that each of the cameras independently recording and/or streaming video content, each camera may be configured to deserialize an input video to identify video streams from separate cameras (e.g., such as based on associate virtual channel identifiers) and reserialize its own video stream with the other video streams in the received input. The serialized video stream is then transmitted to a next camera in the daisy chain and/or a video storage device.

  • Patent number: 12664894
    Abstract: Methods for performing operations for improving driver safety across a fleet of vehicles are disclosed. A plurality of safety events pertaining to a driving of a fleet of vehicles by a plurality of drivers are detected. A subset of the events is identified. The subset corresponds to one or more safety events of the plurality of safety events involving one or more vehicles of the fleet of vehicles to which drivers have not been assigned. A user interface is generated for presentation on a client device, the user interface including an interactive user interface element for accessing the subset of the events. One or more user interface elements are provided for accepting or rejecting recommendations for assignments of one of the plurality of drivers to each of the vehicles. The recommendations are generated based on an application of a machine-learned model to images of faces captured.

  • Patent number: 12662152
    Abstract: A vehicle dash cam may be configured to execute one or more neural networks (and/or other artificial intelligence), such as based on input from one or more of the cameras and/or other sensors associated with the dash cam, to intelligently detect safety events in real-time. Detection of a safety event may trigger an in-cab alert to make the driver aware of the safety risk. The dash cam may include logic for determining which asset data to transmit to a backend server in response to detection of a safety event, as well as which asset data to transmit to the backend server in response to analysis of sensor data that did not trigger a safety event. The asset data transmitted to the backend server may be further analyzed to determine if further alerts should be provided to the driver and/or to a safety manager.

  • Patent number: 12630050
    Abstract: A diagnostic service is selectively started at opportune times, such as when the electrical vehicle is initially plugged in. When the electrical vehicle is turned off, there may not be any messages being sent on the communication bus since most vehicle electronic controllers are disabled to conserve power. But, when someone plugs in a charger, there is a surge of bus traffic for a short period of time. The system parses through the bus traffic and looks for a particular communication bus address. The presence of this address can be used as an indicator for an opportune time to start the diagnostic service to confirm whether the electric vehicle is charging or not and to log the state of charge of the electric vehicle.

  • Patent number: 12633583
    Abstract: A system and method for predicting vehicle battery failures includes maintaining a rolling buffer of voltage data from a vehicle and analyzing the data during engine state transitions. The system detects transitions from engine off to on states and analyzes voltage data from a predetermined time period preceding the transition to identify minimum voltage values. These values are compared against configurable threshold voltages to assess battery health. The system generates time series models from historical voltage data to predict future voltage values and potential battery failures. The system generates customized alerts through a graphical user interface indicating predicted time until battery failure and recommended maintenance actions.

  • Patent number: 12627973
    Abstract: Disclosed are systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable media for customized mobile device management. Mobile devices are used to aid vehicle operators but may also distract vehicle operators from focusing on safe operation of the vehicle. To alleviate this issue, a mobile device management system allows for generation and management of customized device management configurations that cause a mobile device to be configured into a restricted operating mode that restricts selected functionality of the mobile device that may distract the vehicle operator. For example, the restricted operating mode may restrict access to specified applications installed on the mobile device and/or restrict presentations of notifications.

  • Patent number: 12626200
    Abstract: An electric vehicle (EV) charge management system is configured to monitor, manage, and optimize EV charging processes. The system can continuously monitor charge-related data from various sources, including the EVs themselves, charging infrastructure providers, schedule data, and/or other relevant systems, to identify charging issues in real-time. Users can define customized charge profiles for each EV or groups of EVs, such as target charge levels (e.g., 80%), low charge levels (e.g., 20%), charging schedules, maximum charging rates, and/or other criteria that are indicative of a potential charging issue. These charge profiles allow users to have greater control over the charging process, ensuring that their EVs are charged in a way that reduces fleet downtime (e.g., charging time in the middle of a driver's shift) and optimizes productivity of the fleet.

  • Patent number: 12621184
    Abstract: A system receives vehicle metric data from a gateway device connected to a vehicle. The vehicle gateway device gathers data related to operation of the vehicle and/or location data. The system receives data from multiple vehicles in a fleet. The vehicle gateway device gathers vehicle metric data at a high frequency. Instead of transmitting a large amount of vehicle metric data at a fine level of granularity, the vehicle gateway device aggregates and buckets the vehicle metric data over a period of time (such as, every five minutes). The system uses the bucketed data for fleet management analysis.

  • Patent number: 12613103
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for vehicle diagnostic aware route planning and navigation. A route management system receives diagnostic data from vehicle diagnostic harnesses and analyzes it along with historical vehicle data to determine vehicle parameters and potential routing conflicts. The system detects vehicle conditions through diagnostic codes or sensor data and determines appropriate route modifications based on factors including vehicle location, service requirements, and delivery schedules. Vehicle attributes are determined through analysis of both VIN data and diagnostic signals to create comprehensive vehicle profiles for routing purposes. When conflicts are detected, the system can modify routes to include service locations or identify replacement vehicles based on compatible configurations.
