Method and system for managing a land-based vehicle
First Claim
1. Method for managing a land-based vehicle, the method comprising:
- providing a database configured to store a rule base for governing prescribed usage of a vehicle and for gathering predetermined data indicative of the actual use of the vehicle;
as the vehicle is in motion and using onboard sensors, monitoring at least one parameter relating to the use of the vehicle;
transmitting data relating to the vehicle parameter for each vehicle to said database;
processing the transmitted data relative to the predetermined data to determine whether or not the actual use of each vehicle is compliant with the prescribed usage of the vehicle as set forth in said rule base; and
notifying a user of the vehicle of any non-compliance.

Abstract
Method and system for managing a land-based vehicle is provided. The method allows to provide a database configured to store a rule base for governing prescribed usage of a vehicle and for gathering predetermined data indicative of the actual use of the vehicle. As the vehicle is in motion and using onboard sensors, the method further allows to monitor at least one parameter relating to the use of the vehicle. A transmitting action allows to transmit data relating to the vehicle parameter for each vehicle to the database. A processing action allows to process the transmitted data relative to the predetermined data to determine whether or not the actual use of each vehicle is compliant with the prescribed usage of the vehicle as set forth in the rule base. A notifying action allows to notify a user of the vehicle of any non-compliance.

13. Method for managing a land-based vehicle, the method comprising:
-
providing a database configured to store a rule base for governing prescribed usage of a vehicle and for gathering predetermined data indicative of actual use of the vehicle, wherein said database is part of an inspection site;
as the vehicle is in motion and using onboard sensors, monitoring at least one parameter relating to the use of the vehicle, said parameter including at least cargo weight;
transmitting data relating to the vehicle parameter including a unique identifier for each vehicle to the inspection site as the vehicle approaches said site; and
processing the transmitted data relative to the predetermined data to determine whether or not actual use of each vehicle is compliant with the prescribed usage of the vehicle as set forth in said rule base.

21. A system for managing a land-based vehicle, the system comprising:
-
a database configured to store a rule base for governing prescribed usage of a vehicle and for gathering predetermined data indicative of the actual use of the vehicle, wherein said database is part of an inspection site;
onboard sensors configured to monitor, while the vehicle is in motion, a parameter relating to the use of the vehicle;
a transceiver configured to transmit data relating to the vehicle parameter including a unique identifier for each vehicle to the inspection site as the vehicle approaches said site; and
a processor coupled to said database to determine whether or not the actual use of each vehicle is compliant with the prescribed usage of the vehicle as set forth in said rule base. - View Dependent Claims (22)
