1. A method of reporting a position of a transport vehicle, comprising:
- a. recording, by a mobile terminal system, time and position information upon detection of a change from a first operational condition to a second operational condition of the transport vehicle;
b. after a time period has elapsed after said detected change, determining, by said mobile terminal system, whether the transport vehicle remained in said second operational condition for at least a predefined portion of said time period; and
c. reporting, by said mobile terminal system, said time and said position information to a site remote from the transport vehicle if the transport vehicle remained in said second operational condition for at least said predefined portion of said time period.

7. A mobile terminal system for reporting a position of a transport vehicle, comprising:
-
a. a vibration sensor;
b. a motion detection component that receives input based on readings of said vibration sensor, said motion detection component determining an operating condition of the transport vehicle through an analysis of said received input;
c. a recording component that records time and position information upon detection of a change from a first operational condition to a second operational condition of the transport vehicle;
d. a reporting component that reports said time and said position information to a site remote from the transport vehicle if it is determined that the transport vehicle remained in said second operational condition for at least said predefined portion of said time period. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10, 11, 12)

13. A position reporting method, comprising:
-
a. recording, by a mobile terminal system, time and position information upon detection of a change from a first operational condition to a second operational condition of the transport vehicle; and
b. reporting, by said mobile terminal system, said time and said position information to a site remote from the transport vehicle only if it is determined that the transport vehicle remained in said second operational condition for a predefined period of time. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
