Abstract: An on-vehicle system for assessing an operator's efficiency of a vehicle, include sensors, an audiovisual display device, a processor and a data storage. The sensors measure or detect conditions of components of the vehicle, and convert the detected conditions into analog or digital information. The data storage stores program instructions, the analog or digital information from the sensors, and other data. The program instructions, when executed by the processor, control the on-vehicle system to determine a state of the vehicle within a vehicle's environment based on the analog or digital information from the sensors, determine whether one or more of a predetermined set of behaviors has occurred based on the determined state of a vehicle, assess performance of the determined one or more of the predetermined set of behaviors, and present the operator, via the audiovisual display device, a feedback based on the assessment.

Abstract: A communication system may include a wireless communications device having a wireless transceiver and a controller cooperating therewith, and a wireless base station having a wireless transceiver and a controller cooperating therewith for communicating with the wireless communications device using orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) based upon pilot sub-carriers. The controller of the wireless base station may randomly allocate the pilot sub-carriers over time.

Abstract: A “software” radio in the form of a system is completely configurable and controllable in real-time by software and has a coordination capability to enable scaling to network aggregate data rates in the 10s of megabits per second per base station with no interference among the multiple radios. Base stations can, in turn, be time and frequency coordinated. Scalability is provided by the addition of substantially identical relay radios at each base station. A hybrid spread spectrum method and system of the invention include a protocol which facilitates coordinated frequency hopping. The system does not dwell more than a few milliseconds at any frequency center to achieve high scalability of the system in, for example, a metropolitan area. A single coaxial cable feeds control signals, electrical power signals and RF signals to a microwave antenna to reduce system hardware and installation costs.
