Automated vehicle tracking and service provision system

Abstract

An automated vehicle tracking and service provision system including a central controller, a local controller located in each vehicle, the central controller and the local controller including a wireless communication interface for communication of information between the central controller and the vehicle decision making software based on fuzzy logic algorithms. In a preferred embodiment, the local controller includes a processor. A global positioning systems (GPS) sensor coupled to the processor for providing vehicle location in terms of latitude and longitude, a memory coupled to the processor, a plurality of sensors coupled to the processor and adapted to provide information on a plurality of parameters related to the vehicle such as fuel level, collision status, brakes and such like, a user interface coupled to the processor for providing user input from input devices such as a credit card reader, smart card reader or keyboard, a wireless transceiver is coupled to the processor for communicating data from the processor to the central controller and for receiving data from the central controller, and a display. A further embodiment provides for a voice or audio input/output interface coupled to the user interface for providing voice activation of the processor or voice transmission via the wireless transceiver to the central controller.
