Abstract
A system and method for using a mobile device to capture the proper execution of a series of one or more tasks with pre-assigned constraints that are associated with a specific set of assets, where those assets have certain known physical attributes and characteristics and are configured in a known manner is disclosed herein. The assets are preferably vehicles such as trucks.
Claims12
A system to generate position and state-based electronic signaling from a vehicle, the system comprising:
- a vehicle;
- a computing module connected to a data bus and a plurality of on-board sensors of the vehicle;
- an assigning authority engine for authorizing actions for the vehicle residing at a server;
- a processor;
- and
- at least one positioning capturing device, wherein the at least one positioning capturing device is a GPS, magnetometer, accelerometer, odometer and speedometer derived, or hybrid calculated values;
- wherein the processor is configured to compare an on-vehicle re-creation of a traveled ground path of the vehicle as described by the vehicle's location as reported by the at least one position capturing device;
- and
- wherein the processor is configured to report the plurality of ground path descriptions in a format that is represented by a linear, logarithmic, or geometrically scaled set of ascending or descending values determined by a number of user-defined increments away from a specific user selected geospatial zero point, to a pre-selected route selected from an authorized database by an assigning authority.
A method to generate position and state-based electronic signaling from a vehicle, the method comprising:
- comparing an on-vehicle re-creation of a vehicle's traveled ground path as described by the vehicle's location as reported by at least one position capturing device and a plurality of sensor readings at any time and at any interval that location is collected as described by a user generated set of reporting conditions and intervals, wherein the at least one positioning capturing device comprises a GPD, an accelerometer or magnetometer;
- and
- reporting the plurality of ground path descriptions in a format that is represented by a linear, logarithmic, or geometrically scaled set of ascending or descending values, wherein the scaled set of ascending or descending values is determined by a number of user-defined increments away from a specific user selected geospatial zero point, to a pre-selected route selected from an authorized database by an assigning authority.
A method for providing positioning data to a vehicle moving along a known ground path, the method comprising:
- accessing a database from an authorized vehicle over a secure network utilizing a mobile device, the authorized vehicle moving along a known ground path and utilizing at least one positioning capturing device comprising a GPD, an accelerometer or magnetometer;
- transmitting, from the database to the authorized vehicle, vehicle distance and vector information;
- and
- utilizing the vehicle distance and vector information to follow the known ground path to an identified endpoint, wherein the known ground path is described by a packet of information comprising a plurality of units of measure and a plurality of vectors.
