Abstract: A method for monitoring activities of a construction or mining vehicle. Signals from at least one acceleration sensor, accelerometer (2), and/or at least one angular rate sensor, gyro (4), are processed on a computing platform (3) which is programmed to determine the activity state of the vehicle based on signals received. A device arranged to perform the method may also include a device (7) for storing or communicating the result of the determination of the computing platform (3).

Abstract: A method for providing status information pertaining to an asset is disclosed. The method stores information from a first reporting source about the asset and information from a second reporting source about the asset into a database such that the information from the first reporting source and the information from the second reporting source can be accessed from the database. The stored information includes status information about the asset that was received from at least one of the reporting sources. The status information about the asset is then provided to a client for the purpose of displaying a visual representation of the status information on the client.

Abstract: A system and method for controlling power usage of a reporting device associated with an asset is disclosed. According to one embodiment, a method determines whether the reporting device is in a sleep mode or an active mode and in response to determining the reporting device is in the sleep mode, the method maintains the sleep mode and in response to determining a state change associated with the reporting device, the method powers up the reporting device to the active mode.
