摘要:
The present invention is directed to an apparatus and method for providing access to educational and training services to truck drivers in the cabs of their trucks. The apparatus includes an in-vehicle communications system that combines Wi-Fi, cellular, IP radio and satellite communications systems for sending data to and from the cab. The method includes steps of accessing educational course information from an educational institution computer system, selecting a wireless communication system for communicating with the in-vehicle communication system, transmitting the educational course information via the wireless communication system, receiving the educational course information at the in-vehicle communication system, and presenting the educational course information to an occupant of the transport vehicle using a display device associated with the in-vehicle communication system. In one embodiment, the geographic location of the transport vehicle is determined, and the wireless communication system is selected based at least in part on the geographic location.
