摘要： Position data received wirelessly from a vehicle enrolled in an inspection waiver program are employed to determine when the enrolled vehicle is approaching an inspection station. After determining that the enrolled vehicle is approaching an inspection station, and if the enrolled vehicle has a valid inspection waiver, a bypass confirmation can selectively be provided to the vehicle operator, authorizing the operator to bypass the inspection station. The task of determining when an enrolled vehicle is approaching the location of an inspection station can be performed using a processor disposed in the vehicle, or at a remote location separate from both the vehicle and the inspection station, or at the inspection station. The inspection stations can be mobile so that their locations are varied to prevent operators from intentionally avoiding an inspection, as may occur with fixed inspection stations.
摘要翻译：采用从登记在检验放弃程序中的车辆无线接收的位置数据来确定登记的车辆何时正在接近检查站。在确定登记的车辆正在接近检查站后，如果登记的车辆有有效的检查豁免，则可以向车辆操作者选择性地提供旁路确认，授权操作者绕过检查站。可以使用设置在车辆中的处理器或与车辆和检查站分开的远程位置或检查站来确定登记车辆何时接近检查站的位置的任务。检查站可以是移动的，使得它们的位置是变化的，以防止操作者有意地避免检查，如固定检查站可能发生的那样。

摘要： A fuel authorization program based on equipping fuel station, fuel pumps, and vehicles with components to enable automatic fuel authorization for enrolled vehicles. The program includes fuel pumps including a pump transmitting sensor that automatically emits a pump ID. As a vehicle pulls in next to the pump a vehicle coupling receiving sensor detects the pump ID signal and a proximity link is created. The vehicle sensor passes the pump ID via hardwire or Bluetooth to vehicle fuel authorization processor (which can be part of a telematics device). The vehicle processor transmits the pump ID (and any fuel authorization credentials needed, such as a PIN or VIN) via WI-FI to a Station processor for fuel vendor authorization. If approved, the pump is enabled. As the vehicle moves away the coupling sensor link is broken and the vehicle transmits a “disconnect” message via Wi-Fi and the pump is disabled.

摘要： Described herein is a fuel authorization program that requires data to be dynamically retrieved from a vehicle data bus during the fuel authorization process. This can be implemented using a smart cable that is installed in enrolled vehicles. The smart cable includes a housing suitable for commercial environments, a cable to logically couple the smart cable to the vehicle data bus, a second data link to be used to logically couple the smart cable to a fuel authorization “puck” in a vehicle, and a controller. The puck handles communication with the fuel vendor. The controller automatically implements the functions responding to a query from the puck received over the second data link by dynamically acquiring data from the vehicle data bus using the first data link, and conveying the data to the puck using the second data link.

摘要： Disclosed herein are techniques for implementing vehicle ECU reprogramming, so the ECU programming, which plays a large role in vehicle performance characteristics, is tailored to current operational requirements, which may be different than the operational characteristics selected by the manufacturer when initially programming the vehicle ECU (or ECUs) with specific instruction sets, such as fuel maps. In one embodiment, a controller monitors the current operational characteristics of the vehicle, determines the current ECU programming, and determines if a different programming set would better suited to the current operating conditions. In the event that the current programming set should be replaced, the controller implements the ECU reprogramming. In a related embodiment, users are enabled to specify the ECU programming to change, such as changing speed limiter settings.
摘要翻译：这里公开了用于实现车辆ECU重新编程的技术，因此在车辆性能特征中起重要作用的ECU编程被定制为当前的操作要求，其可能与制造商在初始编程车辆ECU时选择的操作特性不同（或ECU）具有特定的指令集，如燃料图。在一个实施例中，控制器监视车辆的当前操作特性，确定当前的ECU编程，并且确定不同的编程集是否更适合当前的操作条件。如果当前的编程集合应该被替换，则控制器执行ECU重新编程。在相关实施例中，用户能够指定要改变的ECU编程，例如改变限速器设置。

摘要： A fuel authorization system enables data to be exchanged between vehicles and a fuel vendor, to verify that the vehicle is authorized to receive fuel. Each fuel island is equipped with a camera and a short range radio (RF) component. Participating vehicles are equipped with fuel authorization component including an IR transmitter and a RF component that can establish a data link with the fuel island's RF unit. When the camera senses a vehicle in the fuel lane, an RF query is sent to the vehicle. Participating vehicles respond with an IR transmission. An RF data link is then established between the enrolled vehicle and the fuel vendor to verify that the vehicle is authorized to receive fuel. Once the verification is complete, the fuel dispenser is enabled. In some embodiments, the IR data link is not required, as the camera can distinguish between multiple fuel lanes.

摘要： A method of providing visual feedback to a driver based on data collected during vehicle operation. A processor at the vehicle analyzes vehicle data, and determines when predetermined threshold values have been reached for particular parameters. Whenever such a threshold is reached, an audible indication is provided to the driver, indicating that the baseline has been exceeded. Certain parameters have at least two threshold values. When a first threshold value is reached, an alert is presented to the driver, but no data is recorded or reported. When a second threshold value is reached, another alert is presented to the driver, and data is recorded for reporting to a driver manager or supervisor. This approach provides a driver warning, that if they correct the triggering behavior, their supervisor is never notified of that behavior. However, if the behavior escalates, and the second threshold is breached, the behavior is recorded.
摘要翻译：基于在车辆操作期间收集的数据向司机提供视觉反馈的方法。车辆上的处理器分析车辆数据，并且确定何时已经达到特定参数的预定阈值。无论何时达到这样的阈值，都会向驾驶员提供可听见的指示，指示已经超过了基线。某些参数具有至少两个阈值。当达到第一个阈值时，向驾驶员显示警报，但不记录或报告数据。当达到第二个阈值时，向驾驶员提供另一个警报，并记录数据以报告给驾驶员经理或主管。这种方法提供了一个驱动程序警告，如果它们纠正触发行为，他们的主管从来没有被通知。然而，如果行为升级，并且违反了第二个阈值，则会记录行为。

摘要： Data is collected during the operation of multiple vehicles in a fleet. Such data can be used by fleet operators for efficiency analysis and improvements; however, the sheer quantity of available data makes such analysis potentially difficult and time consuming. Disclosed herein are several fleet performance monitoring graphical user interfaces (GUI) that simultaneously display different types of fleet data to a user, using combinations of different data types designed to enable fleet users to efficiently manage their fleet by trends and exceptions, which are efficiently and graphically presented to the fleet operator. One such GUI simultaneously displays fleet vehicles on a map, alerts by vehicle, fleet uptime, and maintenance information. In at least one embodiment, the map identifies vehicles having critical alerts using a different color coding than vehicles not associated with such alerts. In at least one embodiment, the fleet uptime metrics simultaneously display vehicle metrics and driver metrics.

摘要： System and method for enabling predefined events to be used to trigger the collection of vehicle position data. A combination GSM device and GPS device is used to collect vehicle position data and to convey that position data to a remote computing device for review and/or analysis. There is a tradeoff between collecting too much data (cell phone bill is too high) and collecting too little data (value added analytics cannot be achieved without sufficient data). The concepts disclosed herein relate to method and apparatus to enable the data collection/transmission paradigm of such a GSM/GPS to be varied (or triggered) based on the detection of one or more predefined events. This enables data which can contribute to value added analytics to be acquired, without wasting airtime on unimportant data.
