Abstract

A system for validating transportation data comprises a server, a mobile device, and a first set of executable instructions on the mobile device configured to provide navigation instructions according to a test route. Expected transportation data readable by the server for the test route is included. A second set of executable instructions are configured to read an actual transportation data collected for the test route and to compare with the expected validation data.

Claims

1. A system for validating transportation data comprising:

a server;

a mobile device;

a first set of executable instructions on the mobile device configured to provide navigation instructions according to a test route;

expected validation data readable by the server for the test route; and

a second set of executable instructions configured to read an actual transportation data collected for the test route and to compare with the expected validation data.

2. The system of claim 1, wherein the second set of executable instructions are further configured to set an alert flag if expected validation data does not equal the actual transportation data collected.

3. The system of claim 1, wherein the first set of executable instructions are configured to download one or more test routes from the server.

4. The system of claim 3, wherein the second set of executable instructions are further configured to read a different expected validation data for each test route, and to compare said each different expected validation data to actual transportation data collected for each test route.

5. The system of claim 1, wherein the mobile device contains a wireless radio to communicate over a wireless network.

6. The system of claim 5, wherein the mobile device comprises a mobile phone.

7. The system of claim 6, wherein the mobile device contains a global positioning system.

8. The system of claim 7, wherein the mobile device is configured to transmit its position in real time to allow the server to compare individual transportation data collected to individual expected validation data.

9. The system of claim 1, wherein the actual transportation data collected comprises data selected from the group consisting of:

license plate data, speed data, vehicle classification, number of axles data, toll data, origin toll point, destination toll point and other toll points.

10. A method for validating tolls comprising:

providing navigation instructions according to a test route;

reading expected validation data for the test route;

reading actual transportation data collected for the test route; and

comparing the actual transportation data collected to the expected validation data.

11. The method of claim 10, further comprising setting an alert flag if actual transportation data does not equal the expected validation data.

12. The method of claim 10, further comprising downloading one or more test routes.

13. The method of claim 12, further comprising reading a different expected validation data for each route, and comparing said each different expected validation data to actual transportation data collected for each test route.

14. The method of claim 13, further comprising comparing individual actual transportation data collected to individual expected validation data in real-time.

15. The method of claim 14, wherein the actual transportation data collected comprises data selected from the group consisting of:

license plate data, speed data, vehicle classification, number of axles data toll data, origin toll point, destination toll point and other toll points.
