Abstract
A system (900) and method (1100) instructing a vehicle (910) where and when to refuel is disclosed herein. The system (900) comprises a server (925) for receiving a workflow for a vehicle (910). The workflow comprises an origination location (901) of the vehicle, a destination (950) of the vehicle (910), a route (905) to the destination, a cargo, a time of departure and a time of arrival. The server (925) determines a plurality of fuel stops (930) along the route (905).
Claims15
A method for instructing a vehicle where and when to refuel, the method comprising:
- receiving at a server a workflow data for a vehicle, the workflow data comprising an origination location of the vehicle, a destination of the vehicle, a cargo, and a time of departure;
- utilizing at the server a real-time location for the vehicle;
- determining at the server at least one fuel stop along a route from the origination location to the destination of the vehicle;
- calculating the at least one fuel stop for the vehicle based on the workflow, the real-time location of the vehicle, the workflow data, and a location of the at least one fuel stop;
- and
- transmitting to the vehicle guidance to the at least one fuel stop from the real-time location of the vehicle, wherein the guidance includes micro-navigation within the fuel stop location for fueling during a predetermined fueling time period.
A method for instructing a vehicle where and when to stop to replenish, the method comprising:
- determining, at a server, a real-time GPS location for a vehicle;
- determining, at a server, at least one stop along a route for the vehicle to replenish;
- calculating, at the server, the at least one stop for the vehicle based on a workflow, a real-time operator profile, a real-time location of the vehicle, a real-time vehicle data, at least one dynamic compliance rule, and a selected stop profile;
- and
- transmitting from the server to the vehicle guidance to the selected stop from the current location of the vehicle, wherein the guidance includes micro-navigation for replenishing the vehicle during a predetermined time period.
