Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer programs are presented for the assignment of courses based on driver behavior. One method includes monitoring driver behavior and analyzing reported events to generate course recommendations. These recommendations are based on configurable rules set by a fleet manager. A safety inbox user interface (UI) allows for the review of events and the assignment of one or more courses to a driver. The method further includes recording the assigned course as pending, notifying the driver, updating the driver application to reflect the course requirement, detecting course completion by the driver, and updating the Safety Behavior Management System (BMS) with the course completion record. This systematic approach ensures that drivers are aware of and complete necessary educational courses to improve driving safety and adherence to fleet standards.

Abstract: Alarm system arrangements (e.g., methods, apparatus, etc.) including receiving data originating from an entity located outside of a monitored premise, the data providing information detailing an impending request for temporary access of the monitored premise; and using the data to determine a predefined access plan to allow the temporary access to a predefined sub-area of the premises without triggering an alarm event, and to implement the predefined access plan at a time of receipt of an actual request for the temporary access. One example involves using the data to determine a predefined access plan which includes temporarily disabling of the alarm system's ability to recognize an alarm event with respect to activities occurring with respect to a predefined sub-area of the premises during the temporary access, and to implement the predefined access plan at a time relative to receipt of an actual request for the temporary access.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for identifying parking spaces, including emitting an ultrasonic signal and receiving a reflected signal; and providing a grid which of a region having a plurality of cells. Each cell is assigned to a partial region of the region surrounding the vehicle and an occupancy value is assigned to each cell. The reflected signal is assigned to a set of cells of the grid based on a transit time of the ultrasonic signal between emission and reception. The occupancy values of the cells to which the reflected signal is allocated are increased by a specific value. An occupancy information item is determined based on the occupancy values of the cells. The signal emitting/receiving and the reflected signal assigning are repeated multiple times. Parking space identification is performed based on an occupancy status of the cells specified using the occupancy information item determination.
