Abstract: A network device includes a memory, a display, a user interface, and a network communication module configured to receive vehicle data, driver information, and driver communications, at pre-determined times, from a plurality of portable wireless data transfer and display devices via a long-range wireless network. The network communication module is further configured to send and receive network communications with one or more of the portable wireless data transfer and display devices via the long-range wireless network. The network device is configured to present the vehicle data, the driver information, the driver communication, and the network communications from the plurality of portable wireless data transfer and display devices via the display. The user interface is configured to allow for selection of the drivers presented and is configured to accept user inputs of network communications via the user interface.

Abstract: A network device includes a memory, a display, a processor, and a network communication module configured to receive vehicle data, driver information, and driver communications from a plurality of portable wireless data transfer and display device via a long-range wireless network, each portable wireless data transfer and display device being associated with a corresponding one of a plurality of vehicles. The memory configured to store the vehicle data, the driver information, and the driver communications. The processor is configured to process at least one of: the vehicle data, the driver information, and the driver communication into summary electronic reports and present the summary electronic report of the plurality of vehicles in real-time by location via the display. The network device is configured to allow for selection of the drivers presented and is configured to send work requests to wireless devices in use by the selection of the drivers presented.

Abstract: A portable wireless data transfer and display device comprises a user interface, a communication module, a display, and a short-range wireless communication module configured to wirelessly receive vehicle data from a data acquisition device mounted inside a vehicle when in close proximity to the data acquisition device. The device is configured to accept inputs of driver information from a user, to send the vehicle data and the driver information through the communication module to a network device via a long-range wireless network, and to receive one or more work requests from the network device via the long-range wireless network. The device is configured to present the work request via the display, to accept an input from a driver responding to the work request, and to forward the input from the driver to the network device via the long-range wireless communication module and the long-range wireless network.

Abstract: A portable wireless data transfer and display device includes a user interface, a communication module, a display, and a short-range wireless communication module configured to wirelessly receive vehicle data from a data acquisition device mounted inside a vehicle when in close proximity to the data acquisition device. The portable wireless data transfer and display device is configured to accept inputs of driver information from a user via the user interface and further includes a long-range wireless communication module configured to send the vehicle data and the driver information through the communication module in real-time or at intervals that approximate real-time to a remote network device via a long-range wireless network. The portable wireless data transfer and display device is further configured to present at least one of: the vehicle data, the driver information, processed data, driver communications to the user via the display.

Abstract: A network device includes a memory, a processor, a display, and a network communication module configured to receive vehicle data, driver information, and driver communications, at pre-determined times, from at least one portable wireless data transfer and display device via a long-range wireless network. The network device is configured to present the vehicle data, driver information, driver communication, driver summary electronic report to a user via the display. The network device is configured to remotely update of at least one portable wireless data transfer and display device or at least one data acquisition devices associated with a portable wireless data transfer and display device via the network communication module.
