Abstract: Methods and systems for controlling an asset tracking device and, in particular, determining when an asset tracking device is aboard a ship. The device may have a ship mode in which the device determines it has been loaded onto a ship and in which geolocation is not determined. The device may further have an ocean mode to which it transitions from the ship mode in which it ceases to look for a cellular connection in order to send location reports. The device may detect a beacon signal from a ship-mounted base-station to trigger the ship mode and may detect, or fail to detect, one or more wireless signals or identifiers as the trigger to transition to ocean mode.

Abstract: Methods and systems for controlling an asset tracking device and, in particular, determining when an asset tracking device attached to a trailer is in close proximity to a truck. The device may enter a sleep mode when the trailer has been coupled to a truck with an electronic logging device (ELD). Thereafter, the device ceases obtaining a GPS location and transmitting the location to a central server. While the trailer and truck remain coupled, the device leverages the ELD by using it to send its GPS location to the central server and therefore, prolong its battery life.

Abstract: A method at an image capture apparatus, the method including receiving, at the image capture apparatus, a trigger to begin image capture; based on the trigger, starting image capture for a fixed duration; and providing image capture data to a processing service.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for determining tampering at a device coupled to a moveable object includes receiving a plurality of orientation states of the device, the plurality of orientation states measured by an orientation sensor, determining, based on the received orientation states, at least two expected orientation states, receiving a further orientation state of the device measured by the orientation sensor, in response to determining that the further orientation state differs from the at least two expected orientation states, generating a tamper alert.

Abstract: Described herein is a method for asset transportation verification. The method comprises detecting a trigger for asset transportation verification; tracking one or more first asset location updates of a first asset tracking device; tracking one or more second asset location updates of a second asset tracking device; determining, responsive to the trigger, whether the second asset tracking device is co-located with the first asset tracking device based upon the one or more first asset location updates and the one or more second asset location updates; generating an alert in response to determining the first asset tracking device is not co-located with the second asset tracking device.

Abstract: In some examples, a system receives an image captured by a camera of a first cargo transportation unit (CTU) in response to an activation of the camera, the activation of the camera of the first CTU responsive to an event. The system determines based on the image an identifier of an entity that owns, operates, or has access to the first CTU or a second CTU, and logs the identifier of the entity in chain of custody information stored in a storage medium.

Abstract: A method at a computing device for replacing sensor data from a sensor that has failed, the method including receiving an indication at the computing device, that the sensor has failed; receiving image data from a location associated with the sensor; and using the image data to replace sensor data from the sensor that has failed.
