Abstract
The invention relates to a system for monitoring and/or operating of one or more moving objects like vehicles and is characterized in that each object (10) is assigned an internet address and comprises an interface to the internet via a wireless telecommunication unit (126), whereby sensors (121) and/or actuators (123) for monitoring and/or affecting components and/or conditions of the object are connected to the interface, so that a connection between a supervisor station (11) and each object can be established via the internet for evaluating conditions of the related components by means of said sensors and/or actuators.

11. A system for monitoring and controlling at least one remotely located vehicle, via the internet, from a supervisor station, said system comprising:
-
a supervisor station having a computing device upon which monitoring and control protocols reside for related vehicles, said supervisor station being connectable to an internet based inter-communication system;
a vehicle configured for remote travel from said supervisor station without physical connection thereto, said vehicle carrying a computing device connectable to said computing device of said supervisor station via a wireless telecommunication unit and the internet, and said vehicle being assigned an internet-styled IP address for facilitating internet-based communication with said supervisor station;
a sensor located on said vehicle and configured to detect information for transmission to said supervisor station via the internet regarding vehicle conditions. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
