APPARATUSES AND METHODS FOR PROVIDING TRANSPORTATION CONTAINER TEMPERATURE CONTROL
First Claim
1. A system for transportation container temperature control, comprising:
- a plurality of insulated compartments on a motored vehicle, each of the plurality of insulated compartments being configured to hold one or more items during transport;
a temperature regulating system;
a communication device; and
a control circuit coupled to the communication device and the temperature regulating system, the control circuit being configured to;
receive, via the communication device, a plurality of target temperatures each associated with an insulated compartment of the plurality of insulated compartments;
determine current temperatures in each of the plurality of insulated compartments; and
for each insulated compartment of the plurality of insulated compartments, cause the temperature regulating system to affect a temperature inside the insulated compartment based on a current temperature and a target temperature of the plurality of target temperatures associated with the insulated compartment.
