Abstract: A method utilizing real-time location information in a fleet management system. Simultaneous wireless communication connections are maintained between a respectively corresponding number of vehicles in a fleet and a central control center. The messages are received at the central control center, and each one of the messages includes information indicating the geographic location of a respectively corresponding vehicle in real-time or near real-time. The messages are collected and stored in the central control center. In response to a user request, a fleet management tool or report is provided in real-time or near real-time, the management tool or report being based at least in part on the messages indicating the geographic location of the vehicles.

Abstract: A method and system utilizes an interface for the blind and low vision passengers in a touch screen passenger information module (PIM). The PIM is enabled to operate in at least two modes. A low vision mode provides different user input framework on the touch screen as well as appropriate audio prompting. The interface enables a blind or low vision person to interact with the PIM easily, including using the PIM to pay for the fare. The low vision mode can be initiated by the passenger.

Abstract: A system for interacting with a passenger within a vehicle is provided. The system includes, but is not limited to, in-vehicle equipment which communicates with a remote server, a wireless communication device which communicates information between the remote server outside of the vehicle and the in-vehicle equipment, and a mobile device having a display. The in-vehicle equipment retrieves content from the remote server. The mobile device receives passenger information from the passenger. The mobile device pairs with and provides passenger information to the in-vehicle equipment. The in-vehicle equipment provides content to display on the mobile device in response to the provided passenger information.

Abstract: Credit card transactions are processed and managed for a fleet of motor vehicles for hire. A plurality of simultaneous wireless communication connections is maintained between a respective plurality of vehicles in the fleet and a central control center. A plurality of messages is received at the central control center, each one of said messages including credit card transaction information. For each vehicle, the messages and said credit card transaction information are stored in the central control center in real-time or near real-time. A credit card transaction reconciliation report can be produced at any time, in response to a user request, for a motor vehicle identified in the user request. The credit card transaction reconciliation report utilizes the messages and credit card transaction information collected and stored in the central control center.
