Trailer tracking and detection system

Abstract

A method of detecting and tracking a trailer. The computer-implemented method, when executed by data processing hardware causes the data processing hardware to perform operations. The operations include initiating, using a detection application, a beacon scan and detecting a signal attribute and a serial number for a plurality of beacons. The operations also include recording the signal attribute and the serial number for each of the plurality of beacons and determining, based on a proximity of a respective beacon to a user device within a predetermined time interval, that the respective beacon is communicatively connected to the detection application. The operations further include sending, in response to determining that the respective beacon is communicatively connected, a connection signal from the detection application to one of data storage of the detection application and the respective beacon.
