Abstract

A system and method for transceiving vehicle data is provided. The system and method provide for transceiving situation data to or from a vehicle. The system includes a situation data generator for generating the situation data and a transceiver for transmitting the situation data. The system also includes a database for storing the transmitted situation data and a display for displaying the transmitted situation data. Further, a system for storing situation and/or vehicle identification data for real time or later analysis is also disclosed.

Claims

1. A method for receiving and storing motor vehicle data from a motor vehicle, the method comprising:

receiving from the motor vehicle at least one motor vehicle data, wherein receiving the at least one motor vehicle data comprises;

receiving motor vehicle identification data (VIED) associated with the motor vehicle;

time stamping the received VID data; and

storing the received data.

2. The method as in claim 1, wherein receiving the at least one motor vehicle data further comprises determining geographical position data (GPD) associated with the motor vehicle.

3. The method as in claim 2, wherein determining GPD associated with the motor vehicle further comprises receiving global positioning satellite data (GPS) data associated with the motor vehicle.

4. The method as in claim 2, wherein receiving VIED data further comprises:

receiving a vehicle identification number (VI); and

receiving motor vehicle registration data.

5. The method as hi claim 4, wherein receiving the at least one motor vehicle data further comprises receiving the VID data on at least one mobile receiver.

6. The method as in claim 5, wherein receiving the VID data on at least one mobile receiver further comprises receiving the VID data on at least one second motor vehicle receiver.

7. The method as in claim 5, wherein receiving the VID data on at least one mobile receiver further comprises receiving the VID data on at least one satellite receiver.

8. The method as in claim 4, wherein receiving the at least one motor vehicle data further comprises receiving the VID data on at least one stationary receiver.

9. The method as in claim 8, wherein determining GPD associated with the motor vehicle further comprises the at least one stationary receiver determining GPD.

10. The method as in claim 8, wherein receiving the VID data on at least one stationary receiver further comprises receiving the VID data on at least one cellular telephone base station.

11. A system for transceiving situation data to or from a motor vehicle, the system comprising:

a situation data generator for generating the situation data;

a transceiver for transmitting the situation data;

a database for storing the transmitted situation data; and

a display for displaying the transmitted situation data.

12. The system as in claim 11 wherein the situation data generator further comprises an input device for entering the situation data.

13. The system as in claim 11 wherein the situation data generator further comprises a motor vehicle identification (VID) generator.

14. The system as in claim 11 wherein the situation data generator further comprises a global positioning satellite (GPS) system.

15. The system as in claim 11, wherein the transceiver further comprises a receiver for receiving a second situation data.

16. The system as in claim 15 further comprising:

a second database for storing the received second situation data; and

a second display for displaying the received second situation data.

17. The system as in claim 14 further comprising:

at least one land receiver for receiving the situation data; and

at least one land database for storing the received situation data.

18. The system as in claim 17, wherein the at least one land receiver comprises at least one cellular telephone base station.

19. A program storage device readable by a machine, tangibly embodying a program of instructions executable by the machine to perform a method for receiving and storing motor vehicle data from a motor vehicle, the method comprising:

receiving from the motor vehicle at least one motor vehicle data, wherein receiving the at least one motor vehicle data comprises;

receiving motor vehicle identification data (VID) associated with the motor vehicle wherein receiving from the motor vehicle at least one motor vehicle VID data further comprises;

receiving a vehicle identification number (VIN);

receiving motor vehicle registration data.;

determining geographical position data (GPD) associated with the motor vehicle, wherein determining GPD associated with the motor vehicle further comprises;

receiving global positioning satellite data (GPS) data associated with the motor vehicle;

at least one stationary receiver determining GPD;

time stamping the received VID data; and

storing the received VID data, wherein storing the received VID data comprises storing the received VID data in a relational database.
