    Abstract: This disclosure proposes a system in which two redundant asset tracking devices are used to monitor a single asset (such as a vehicle, which may contain a group of assets in cargo) via two distinct communication systems that operate in parallel, and which may operate in addition to any primary mode of communication used by the asset tracking devices (e.g., cellular communication). In some examples, each asset tracking device may communicate through separate and distinct satellite communication networks.

    Abstract: A synchronized data set is generated from multiple asynchronous data sets. An interpolated data set is generated for each asynchronous data set, at a higher data rate than recorded data rates for the asynchronous data sets. The interpolated data for each data set is then sampled at a lower data rate which is common to all the interpolated data sets. The sampled data points are synchronized between the different data sets, such that the sampled data points represent a synchronized data set. Input telematic data can be reduced to inflection points in the telematic data, and interpolation and sampling of asynchronous data sets can be limited to threshold time periods around the inflection points.

    Abstract: Described herein are examples of a system that processes information describing movement of a vehicle at a time related to a potential collision to reliably determine whether a collision occurred and/or one or more characteristics of the collision. In response to obtaining information regarding a potential collision, data describing movement of the vehicle before and/or after a time associated with the potential collision is analyzed to determine whether the collision occurred and/or to determine one or more collision characteristic(s). The analysis may be carried out at least in part using a trained classifier that classifies the vehicle movement data into one or more classes, where at least some the classes are associated with whether a collision occurred and/or one or more characteristics of a collision. If a collision is determined to be likely, one or more actions may be triggered based on the characteristic(s) of the collision.

    Abstract: Disclosed herein are systems and methods for identifying and ranking traffic bottlenecks. An example of such methods may include operating at least one processor to: receive traffic data associated with a road network comprising a plurality of road segments, the traffic data comprising vehicle speed data collected from a plurality of vehicles operating within the road network; determine a benchmark speed for each of the plurality of road segments; determine, for each of the plurality of road segments, whether a traffic disruption is present by comparing the benchmark speed thereof to vehicle speed data collected from at least one vehicle operating therealong; determine, for each of the plurality of road segments having the traffic disruption therealong, one or more road segment metrics associated therewith; identify a traffic bottleneck by aggregating a plurality of adjacent road segments having traffic disruptions therealong and the one or more road segment metrics associated therewith; and rank each traffic bottleneck based on one or more aggregated road segment metrics associated therewith.

    Abstract: The present systems, devices, and methods relate to managing vehicle battery charging. Payment for charging is preauthorized, and a receipt for preauthorization is sent from a payment management device to a user device when the user device has access to internet or cellular communications. This preauthorization receipt is later sent from the user device to a charge station where internet or cellular communication is not available, to enable charging of the vehicle battery at the charge station. Another receipt is sent from the charge station to the user device after charging of the vehicle, indicating a payment amount for actual energy used to charge the battery. Later, when the user device has access to cellular or internet communications, the user device sends the receipt indicating payment amount for actual energy used to the payment management device, for final payment balancing.
