System and method to detect vehicle movement

A system of detecting vehicle movement, the system comprising:

• a memory configured to comprise one or more executable instructions and a controller configured to execute the executable instructions, wherein the executable instructions enable the controller to:
• (a) measure one or more signal variables as a first variable data set;
• (b) at some duration of time after the first variable data set is measured, measure the one or more signal variables as a second variable data set;
• (c) compare the first and second variable data sets;
• (d) determine if substantial differences exist between the first and second variable data sets;
• and
• (e) when it is determined that substantial differences exist between the first and second variable data sets, generate a notification configured to indicate the vehicle movement has been detected;
• wherein the executable instructions further enable the controller to:
• prior to step (b), (f) measure global navigation satellite system (GNSS) location data from a GNSS module as first GNSS location coordinates;
• (g) after it is determined that substantial differences exist between the first and second variable data sets, measure the GNSS location data from the GNSS module as second GNSS location coordinates;
• (h) compare the first and second GNSS location coordinates;
• (i) determine if substantial differences exist between the first and second GNSS location coordinates;
• and
• wherein step (e) is further defined as generate a notification configured to indicate vehicle movement has been detected when it is determined that both (1) substantial differences exist between the first and second variable data sets and (2) substantial differences exist between the first and second GNSS location coordinates.

A non-transitory and machine-readable medium having stored thereon executable instructions adapted to detect vehicle movement, which when provided to a controller and executed thereby, causes the controller to:

• (a) measure one or more signal variables as a first variable data set;
• (b) at some duration of time after the first variable data set is measured, measure the one or more signal variables as a second variable data set;
• (c) compare the first and second variable data sets;
• (d) determine if substantial differences exist between the first and second variable data sets;
• and
• (e) when it is determined that substantial differences exist between the first and second variable data sets, generate a notification configured to indicate vehicle movement has been detected;
• wherein the executable instructions further enable the controller to:
• prior to step (b), (f) measure global navigation satellite system (GNSS) location data from a GNSS module as first GNSS location coordinates;
• (g) after it is determined that substantial differences exist between the first and second variable data sets, measure the GNSS location data from the GNSS module as second GNSS location coordinates;
• (h) compare the first and second GNSS location coordinates;
• (i) determine if substantial differences exist between the first and second GNSS location coordinates;
• and
• wherein step (e) is further defined as generate a notification configured to indicate vehicle movement has been detected when it is determined that both (1) substantial differences exist between the first and second variable data sets and (2) substantial differences exist between the first and second GNSS location coordinates.
