Publication number: 20240428625Abstract: Described herein are methods of processing telematics data that include receiving initial telematics data related to a vehicle from a telematics device and processing the initial telematics data to generate processed telematics data. For each recipient of a plurality of recipients, the methods additionally include determining, from the initial telematics data and/or the processed telematics data, data that is to be made accessible to a recipient. Determining the data that is to be made accessible to the recipient comprises evaluating one or more constraints for the recipient that constrain what data the recipient is permitted to receive and determining what data has been requested to be provided to the recipient. For each recipient of a plurality of recipients, the methods additionally include distributing the determined data to the recipient. Also described herein are systems for processing telematics data in accordance with the described methods.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 28, 2024Publication date: December 26, 2024Applicant: Geotab Inc.Inventor: Neil Charles Cawse

Patent number: 11954637Abstract: A method for inferring a status asset information from data of a first type gathered by a first asset tracking device is provided. The method includes determining that a first asset tracking device coupled to a first asset and a second asset tracking device coupled to a second asset are travelling together, that the first asset tracking device has a first operating mode, and that the second asset tracking device has a second operating mode, which is different from the first operating mode of the first asset tracking device. In response, the second asset tracking device enters into a low-power mode in which it either does not gather data of the first type or does so at a reduced rate. Status information related to the second asset may be inferred from data of the first type gathered by the first asset tracking device.Type: GrantFiled: November 21, 2022Date of Patent: April 9, 2024Assignee: Geotab Inc.Inventors: Neil Charles Cawse, Jonathan Bean, Christopher J. Mendes

Patent number: 11650329Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for asset travel monitoring are provided. An example method for asset travel monitoring involves monitoring a motion sensor of an asset tracking device located at an asset to determine whether the asset has entered into a travelling state, upon determination that the asset has entered into the travelling state, monitoring the motion sensor to determine whether the asset has left the travelling state, and, upon determination that the asset has left the travelling state, obtaining a present location of the asset tracking device and transmitting the present location to a remote server.Type: GrantFiled: June 8, 2020Date of Patent: May 16, 2023Assignee: Geotab Inc.Inventors: James Patrick Howell, Thomas Arthur Walli, Irene Wong, Neil Charles Cawse
