Carrying out calculation methods with a control unit of a transportation vehicle

A transportation vehicle comprising:

• mobile telematics control equipment, the transportation vehicle being configured to accommodate a mobile telematics control unit therein, wherein the mobile telematics control unit is configured so as to be removable from the transportation vehicle,
• wherein the mobile telematics control unit includes a computing unit being configured to perform telematics functions while the mobile telematics control unit is positioned inside the transportation vehicle,
• wherein the computing unit is configured to perform vehicle-independent calculations while the mobile telematics control unit is positioned outside the transportation vehicle,
• wherein the mobile telematics control equipment also includes a key for the transportation vehicle,
• wherein the key includes an identifier stored thereon, whereon the identifier is evaluated during activation of the vehicle-independent calculations, and
• wherein the transportation vehicle key is used to store and transfer the calculations performed outside the transportation vehicle and preliminary results of the calculations.

A method for performing computing procedures by mobile telematics control equipment including a mobile telematics control unit for a transportation vehicle, wherein the mobile telematics control unit is removable from the transportation vehicle, the method comprising:

• performing telematics functions in the transportation vehicle while the mobile telematics control unit is positioned inside the transportation vehicle;
• and
• performing vehicle-independent calculations while the mobile telematics control unit is positioned outside the transportation vehicle,
• wherein the mobile telematics control equipment also includes a key for the transportation vehicle,
• wherein the key includes an identifier stored thereon,
• whereon the method further comprises evaluating the identifier during activation of the vehicle-independent calculations,
• storing the calculations performed outside the transportation vehicle and preliminary results of the calculations on the key, and
