Abstract: A system and a method for reporting enhanced toll road data to a toll road audit system is used to independently audit a toll system including the roadside toll equipment, back-office systems, billing systems, the conditions of the toll road, and other toll variables. The device account associated to a transponder device enters device travel data captured by the transponder device. The device travel data is relayed from the transponder device to the toll road audit server, if the device travel data is entered. The device account enters toll device condition data of a toll road device captured by the transponder device. The toll device condition data is relayed from the transponder device to the toll road audit server, if the toll device condition data is entered. A log entry from the device travel data and the toll device condition data is generated with the toll road audit server.

Abstract: A method and system for facilitating auditing tolling associated with routes is provided. The method comprises receiving a request from a user device, receiving vehicle data from a vehicle device associated with a vehicle used by a user for making a trip using a route, analyzing the vehicle data, verifying the vehicle for the trip based on the analyzing, identifying the route based on the verifying and the request, retrieving toll pricing sign information of a toll pricing sign displayed on the route based on the identifying, transmitting the toll pricing sign information to the user device, receiving a response corresponding to the toll pricing sign encountered by the user while driving the vehicle on the route from the user device, generating an audit data of the route based on a user identifier, the vehicle data, the route, the response, and the toll pricing information, and storing the audit data.

Abstract: Systems and methods for license plate matching. In one example, a system for license plate matching includes an interface configured to receive roadside data, the roadside data including a roadside image of a vehicle license plate, a database having a plurality of indexed entries, each entry including vehicle license plate fingerprint data and vehicle characteristic metadata, and a processor connected to a memory, the interface, and the database, the processor configured to execute a query against the database based on the roadside data, compare a portion of the entries to the roadside data, the processor being further configured to compare the roadside image of the vehicle license plate and the corresponding vehicle license plate fingerprint data when comparing the portion of the entries and roadside data, and generate a confidence based on a similarity between at least one individual entry of the portion of entries and the roadside data.

Abstract: According to at least one aspect, systems and methods for distributed license plate review, at one or more crowd source analysis provider, are provided. In one example, a system for license plate review includes an interface configured to receive at least a roadside image of a vehicle license plate, and at least one processor configured to partition the roadside image of the vehicle license plate into one or more segments, and assign the one or more segments to one or more crowd source analysis provider, the one or more crowd source analysis provider being configured to review and recognize at least one character of the vehicle license plate included within an individual segment of the roadside image. In an example, the crowd source analysis provider may allow a reviewer to interact with the individual segment and recognize the at least one character within that segment.

Abstract: A system for authentication an item comprises a software program executing on a server having one or more sets of instructions executable on a processor of the server. A first set of instructions of the one or more sets of instructions is configured to receive a code scanned from the item. A second set of instructions of the one or more sets of instructions is configured to authenticate the code. A third set of instructions of the one or more sets of instructions configured to transmit a message regarding the authentication of the item, wherein the first set of instructions receives the code as scanned form the item as a pass-through with respect to the mobile device whereby the second set of instructions are further configured to directly authenticate the NFC tag on the server and not on the mobile device.

Abstract: In one aspect, a vehicle monitoring apparatus includes an interface configured to connect to a diagnostic port of a vehicle, a processor coupled to the interface and configured to communicate with the diagnostic port and a sensor coupled to the processor and configured to detect a factor indicating the presence of a driver in the vehicle. The sensor causes the apparatus to transition from a first power mode to a second power mode upon detection of the factor. The apparatus draws more power from the vehicle in the second power mode than in the first power mode. The apparatus also includes a housing that includes the processor and the sensor.
