Vehicle Monitoring Devices, Vehicle Monitoring Management Devices, and Vehicle Monitoring Systems
First Claim
1. A vehicle monitoring device comprising:
- first circuitry configured to communicate with circuitry of a vehicle being monitored and to receive information regarding the vehicle at a plurality of moments in time;
second circuitry coupled with the first circuitry and configured to generate a plurality of messages, wherein individual ones of the messages include the information regarding the vehicle which was received at one of the plurality of moments in time and timing data which is indicative of timing of the vehicle data according to an independent timing protocol which is utilized by the vehicle monitoring device and another device which is remote from the vehicle monitoring device; and
wherein the first circuity is configured to communicate the plurality of messages externally of the vehicle monitoring device.
