Abstract: A tracking system for tracking of objects to be transported by at least one transport vehicle is provided. The tracking system includes object sets comprising an object and at least one tagging device with unique identification signal to be permanently sent out and received by a short-range wireless communication unit arrangeable in the transport vehicle. The tracking system further comprises, arrangeable in the transport vehicle, an electronic main controller unit, operatively coupled at least to the short-range wireless communication unit, and a telematics control unit for communicating with a cloud-based computer system.

Abstract: The disclosure relates to a system for monitoring consumable material quantities, having at least one loading plate having an upper side providing a loading surface, at least two weight sensors arranged spaced apart from one another on a lower side of the loading plate, and at least one monitoring electronics unit connected or connectable to the weight sensors. To make this monitoring more cost-effective and technically simpler, the system has at least two containers arranged adjacent to one another on the upper side of the loading plate for accommodating a quantity of a consumable material in each case, wherein the monitoring electronics unit is configured to ascertain from sensor signals of the weight sensors, generated before and after consumable material is taken from one of the containers, from which container the consumable material has been taken and/or which quantity of the consumable material has been removed.

Abstract: A method and system for operating a utility vehicle, including detecting an insertion movement of a spare part box into an accommodation space of a shelf element in a load compartment of a utility vehicle; on detecting the insertion movement, capturing an image dataset indicative of the interior of the spare part box with a scanning unit assigned to the accommodation space; and evaluating the image dataset to determine the contents of the spare part box. A warning or replenishment order may be automatically generated when the number of a particular part is below a minimum threshold.

Abstract: A rack system for a commercial vehicle including at least one guide rail fixable to at least one vehicle structure of the commercial vehicle, and at least one rack slidingly supported by the guide rail back and forth in a lateral direction of the commercial vehicle. To laterally balance a loading of the commercial vehicle the rack system comprises at least one fixing unit for temporary fixing the rack selectively in one of several fixing positions disposed along the guide rail by fixing the rack to the guide rail and/or to the vehicle structure.

Abstract: A rack system for a commercial vehicle including at least one guide rail fixable to at least one vehicle structure of the commercial vehicle within a rear storage compartment of the commercial vehicle. To provide a more efficient way of offering rack space to get a better trade-off between the amount of racks and space for other items, to maximize the utilization rate of the rear storage compartment, the rack system comprises at least two racks slidingly supported by the guide rail back and forth in a lateral or longitudinal direction of the commercial vehicle and arranged in series to each other with respect to the guide rail.

Abstract: Described herein are systems and methods for the provision of data particularly for use in generating a blockchain environment for tracking emissions of a hybrid electric vehicle. The systems and methods include reading in position data representing a geographical position of a hybrid electric vehicle, reading in operating data representing an operating state of a drivetrain of the hybrid electric vehicle, forming a data block at least comprising the position data and the operating data, and adding the data block to a blockchain.

Abstract: A cargo space is monitored for objects connected to respective beacon-transmitting devices which transmit identification signals associated with the objects. Signal strengths of received signals and repetition periods associated therewith are determined using a monitoring device which checks whether each received beacon identification signal identifies a respective object in an object inventory of the cargo space based on comparisons of the signal strengths with current signal strength threshold values respectively associated with them and on comparisons of the respectively associated beacon repetition periods with respective current repetition period threshold values. The monitoring device detects whether the cargo space is currently in a first state (in which loading and unloading operations of objects in the cargo space is permissible) or a second state (in which loading and unloading is not permissible).

Abstract: A system for providing a mobility network is provided. The system is configured to receive a first request message transmitted from a first user device, the message indicating a pick-up location and a destination in a network area. The system is further configured to identify a first carrier unit available to respond to the first request message and generate a first response instruction providing data to indicate the pick-up location of the first request message. The system is further configured to transmit the first response instruction to the first carrier unit and generate path data and destination data according to the first response instruction and the first request message. The system is also configured to transmit the path data and the destination data to the first carrier unit and update the stored carrier unit operating conditions.
