First Claim
Patent Images
1. A system comprising:
- at least one processor configured to;
receive, over a network, position data acquired by a position sensor;
receive, over the network, an image of a first cargo transportation unit (CTU) acquired by a camera on a second CTU in response to a trigger initiated by the first CTU; and
determine a location of the first CTU or the second CTU based on the position data and information in the image of the first CTU.

Abstract
In some examples, a system includes at least one processor configured to receive, over a network, position data acquired by a position sensor, receive, over the network, an image of a first cargo transportation unit (CTU) acquired by a camera, and determine a location of the first CTU or a second CTU based on the position data and information in the image of the first CTU.

13. A system comprising:
at least one processor configured to; receive, over a network, position data acquired by a position sensor; receive, over the network, an image of a first cargo transportation unit (CTU) acquired by a camera; determine a location of the first CTU or a second CTU based on the position data and information in the image of the first CTU; and select a use of the position data acquired by the position sensor that is part of a CTU that has been stationary for longer than a specified time duration. - View Dependent Claims (14)

15. A non-transitory machine-readable storage medium storing instructions that upon execution cause a system to:
-
receive, over a network, position data acquired by a position sensor; receive, over the network, an image of a first cargo transportation unit (CTU) acquired by a camera on a second CTU in response to a trigger initiated by the first CTU; and determine a location of the first CTU or the second CTU based on the position data and information in the image of the first CTU. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18)

19. A first cargo transportation unit (CTU) comprising:
-
a position sensor that is activated intermittently and deactivated during respective time intervals; a camera; and a controller configured to; receive, responsive to an indication of a second CTU, a trigger to activate the position sensor and the camera, and in response to the received trigger; cause the position sensor to acquire position information, cause the camera to capture an image of the second CTU, and send, over a network to a remote service, the position information and the image of the second CTU to cause the remote service to determine a location of the second CTU. - View Dependent Claims (20)
