  • Publication number: 20260135790
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for facilitating interoperability of network traffic. One example method includes identifying, by a vehicle computing device, a first toll event at a first toll plaza of a toll agent, as part of a trip, and identifying a second toll event at a second toll plaza of the toll agent, as part of the trip. The method also includes generating, by the vehicle computing device, package data for the trip where the package data including an array of transaction data for the first toll event and the second toll event and generating a token for the trip. The token includes signed device specific data, and the device specific data includes a device identifier for the vehicle, the package data, and a timestamp. The method further includes transmitting, by the vehicle computing device, the token to the wallet provider.

  • Publication number: 20260134718
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for facilitating interoperability of network traffic. One example method includes receiving, by a commerce platform computing device, a vehicle identifier from a toll agent, where the vehicle identifier is specific to a vehicle and captured at a toll plaza of the toll agent, and identifying a wallet provider associated with the vehicle identifier. The method also includes requesting, by the commerce platform computing device, from the wallet provider, authentication of a user associated with the vehicle, whereby the wallet provider authenticates the user at the vehicle or a communication device associated with the user, and receiving, from the wallet provider, an authentication complete result. The method further includes providing, by the commerce platform computing device, a transaction payload for a transaction to pay a toll for the vehicle passing through the toll plaza, where the transaction payload includes a token specific to the card identifier.

  • Publication number: 20260134719
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for facilitating interoperability of network traffic. One example method includes identifying, by a computing device, a first toll event for a vehicle at a first toll plaza of a toll agent, as part of a trip and identifying a second toll event for the vehicle at a second toll plaza of the toll agent, as part of said trip. The method also includes generating, by the computing device, toll event information for the trip and determining. The method further includes, based on the determination that the trip is ended, transmitting the toll event information for the trip to a wallet provider computing device and submitting, by the wallet provider computing device, via a checkout application programming interface (API), to a remote commerce platform computing device, a request to transact for an aggregate toll.

  • Publication number: 20250272769
    Abstract: Techniques for enabling a payment transaction for charging an electric vehicle (EV) at a charge point (CP) are disclosed. The techniques include storing a digital card identifier (ID) in a digital wallet of the EV, wherein the digital card ID is associated with a primary account number (PAN) associated with a payment account. Upon connection to the CP, the EV establishes a TCP/IP session and receives transaction information, including a CPID and a list of payment methods. The EV selects the digital card ID based on the accepted payment methods and signs the transaction information using a private key. The signed transaction data, including the digital card ID, is transmitted to the CP. In parallel, the EV initiates an ISO 15118 session for charging setup and monitors for an authorization response, and upon approval, charging power is delivered to the EV.

  • Publication number: 20250269755
    Abstract: A system and method facilitates contract-based electric vehicle (EV) charging transactions by generating a contract bound to a digital payment card identifier (ID) linked to a payment account. A user system transmits the contract to a server system for validation against a contract certificate chain. Upon receiving a validated success message from the server, the user system provisions the contract to the EV. During a charging session, the user system transmits the validated contract to the charge point (CP). The CP verifies the contract, enabling the initiation of a card-not-present (CNP) transaction using the digital card ID. This method ensures secure authentication and payment processing for EV charging without requiring manual input from the user.

  • Publication number: 20250269756
    Abstract: Techniques for enabling secure remote commerce (SRC) transactions for electric vehicle (EV) charging at a charge point (CP) are disclosed. The techniques include establishing a mutually authenticated and encrypted communication session between an EV user system and the CP using transport layer security (TLS). The EV receives merchant information, including a charge point identifier and charge point operator certificate details. The EV retrieves payment credentials from a digital wallet, including a digital card ID assigned by an SRC system. A cryptographically signed payload containing the digital card ID, merchant information, and a timestamp is generated and signed using a private key associated with the EV. The signed payload is transmitted securely to the SRC system via an application programming interface (API). Upon receiving an authorization response approving the payment transaction, the EV transmits a command to the CP to initiate charging.

  • Patent number: 9108710
    Abstract: A pontoon boat has left and right pontoons extending longitudinally, a tunnel therebetween, and a deck supported thereon. Bow and stern ends, and a boat length therebetween, are defined by at least one of the pontoons and the deck. An opening of the deck communicating with a tunnel thereunder has an outboard engine mounted therein and a hatch disposed thereover. A longitudinal center plane is vertical and equidistant from the bow and stern ends. A drive unit of the engine has a driveshaft, a propeller shaft operatively connected thereto, and a propeller connected to the propeller shaft. A mounting bracket connects the drive unit to the deck. The engine is disposed forward of the stern end by a distance at least equal to one-fourth of the boat length. The engine is aligned with or rearward of a longitudinal center plane. A method of operating the pontoon boat is also disclosed.
