Electronic logging of vehicle and driver data for compliance support and prediction

A system for electronic logging of carrier data and predicting a potential impending compliance rule violation, the system comprising:

• a processor;
• and
• a memory communicatively coupled with the processor, the memory storing instructions, the instructions executable by the processor to:
• monitor a vehicle motion status for a predetermined time period and assign a logical state to a duty status variable, the duty status variable comprising any of:
• on-duty, off-duty, sleeper, and driving;
• the duty status variable exhibiting one of two binary states for the predetermined time period;
• aggregate values for each of the duty status variables over a specified quantity of the predetermined time period, the specified quantity being determined by a predetermined rule;
• detect an occurrence of at least one vehicle service event capable of changing a transit time period or transit route, the at least one vehicle service event altering the vehicle motion status;
• predict a likelihood of occurrence of a potential impending compliance rule violation due to the detected occurrence of the at least one vehicle service event, the prediction based at least in part on:
• the aggregated values,
• the detected occurrence of the at least one vehicle service event, and
• a group of compliance rules;
• determine that the predicted likelihood of occurrence of the potential impending compliance rule violation is greater than a predetermined threshold value;
• generate an audio or visual indicator of the predicted likelihood of occurrence of the potential impending compliance rule violation;
• and
• present the audio or visual indicator of the predicted likelihood of occurrence of the potential impending compliance rule violation to at least one electronic device to facilitate preventing the potential impending compliance rule violation.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having embodied thereon instructions, which, when executed by at least one processor, perform steps of a method, the method comprising:

• monitoring a vehicle motion status for a predetermined time period and assigning a logical state to a duty status variable, the duty status variable comprising any of:
• on-duty, off-duty, sleeper, and driving;
• and the status variable exhibiting one of two binary states for the predetermined time period;
• aggregating values for each of the duty status variables over a specified quantity of the predetermined time period, the specified quantity being determined by a predetermined rule;
• detecting an occurrence of at least one vehicle service event capable of changing a transit time period or transit route, the at least one vehicle service event altering the vehicle motion status;
• predicting a likelihood of occurrence of a potential impending compliance rule violation due to the detected occurrence of the at least one vehicle service event, the prediction based at least in part on:
• the aggregated values,
• the detected occurrence of the at least one vehicle service event, and
• a group of compliance rules;
• determining that the predicted likelihood of occurrence of the potential impending compliance rule violation is greater than a predetermined threshold value;
• generating an audio or visual indicator of the predicted likelihood of occurrence of the potential impending compliance rule violation;
• and
• presenting the audio or visual indicator of the predicted likelihood of occurrence of the potential impending compliance rule violation to at least one electronic device to facilitate preventing the potential impending compliance rule violation.
