ELECTRONIC DISTANCE RECORDER VERIFICATION
First Claim
1. A method of checking a vehicle'"'"'s electronic distance recorder by an independent party comprising the independent party using one or more devices to:
- obtain/receive two distance or location readings (or a distance and location reading) from the electronic distance recorder for two vehicle locations, the distance location/readings being obtained by the electronic distance recorder;
determine an apparent distance travelled between the two vehicle locations using the distance/location readings; and
compare the apparent distance travelled with a verification distance between the two locations to identify any discrepancies in the electronic distance recorder, the verification distance being determined independently from the electronic distance recorder.

Abstract
A method is provided for checking a vehicle'"'"'s electronic distance recorder by an independent party, including the independent party using one or more devices for: obtaining or receive two distance or location readings, or a distance and location reading, from the electronic distance recorder for two vehicle locations, the distance location/readings being obtained by the electronic distance recorder, determining an apparent distance travelled between the two vehicle locations using the distance/location readings; and comparing the apparent distance travelled with a verification distance between the two locations to identify any discrepancies in the electronic distance recorder, the verification distance being determined independently from the electronic distance recorder.

5. A system for checking a vehicle'"'"'s electronic distance recorder by an independent party comprising an interrogation apparatus with a receiver and processor configured to:
-
obtain/receive via the receiver two distance or location readings (or a distance and location reading) from the electronic distance recorder for two vehicle locations; determine in the processor an apparent distance travelled between the two vehicle locations; and compare in the/another processor the apparent distance travelled with a verification distance between the two locations to identify any discrepancies in the electronic distance recorder. - View Dependent Claims (7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12)

14. An interrogation apparatus with a receiver for checking a vehicle'"'"'s electronic distance recorder by an independent party, the apparatus configured to:
-
obtain/receive via the receiver two distance or location readings (or a distance and location reading) from the electronic distance recorder for two vehicle locations, determine in a processor or transmit via a transceiver the information to a processor to determine an apparent distance travelled between the two vehicle locations, and compare in the processor or transmit via the transceiver the information to a processor to compare the apparent distance travelled with a verification distance between the two locations to identify any discrepancies in the electronic distance recorder. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27)
