METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR DETECTING TRANSPORTATION RELAYS
First Claim
1. A system for determining that a transportation relay has occurred, the system comprising:
- a first tracking device configured to track a location of a first load;
a second tracking device configured to track a location of a second load; and
a central computing device, the central computing device configured to;
receive the location of the first load from the first tracking device;
identify a stop event for the first load based on the location of the first load;
receive the location of the second load from the second tracking device;
identify a stop event for the second load based on the location of the second load;
determine that the stop event for the first load and the stop event for the second load are within a predetermined proximity;
determine that the stop event for the first load and the stop event for the second load occur within a predetermined time period; and
determine that the transportation relay has occurred.

Abstract
Methods and systems for determining that a transportation relay has occurred are disclosed. Systems include a first tracking device configured to track a location of a first load; a second tracking device configured to track a location of a second load; and a central computing device. The central computing device is configured to receive the location of the first load from the first tracking device; identify a stop event for the first load based on the location of the first load; receive the location of the second load from the second tracking device; identify a stop event for the second load based on the location of the second load; determine that the stop event for the first load and the stop event for the second load are within a predetermined proximity; and determine that the transportation relay has occurred.

10. A method for determining that a transportation relay has occurred comprising:
-
receiving a location of a first load from a first tracking device; identifying a stop event for the first load based on the location of the first load; receiving a location of a second load from a second tracking device; identifying a stop event for the second load based on the location of the second load; and determining that the transportation relay has occurred responsive to determining that the stop event for the first load and the stop event for the second load are within a predetermined proximity. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16)

17. A computer-implemented method comprising:
-
receiving location data pertaining to a first load from a first tracking device; identifying a stop event for the first load based on the location data pertaining to the first load; receiving location data pertaining to a second load from a second tracking device; identifying a stop event for the second load based on the location data pertaining to the second load; determining a distance between the stop event for the first load and the stop event for the second load; determining a time period between the stop event for the first load and the stop event for the second load; and determining that the transportation relay has occurred responsive to determining that the distance between the stop event for the first load and the stop event for the second load is less than a predetermined threshold distance and responsive to determining that the time period between the stop event for the first load and the stop event for the second load is less than a predetermined threshold time period. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24)
