Abstract: Systems, methods, and software can be used to provide inter-vehicle data communications for drafting operations. In some aspects, a method is disclosed comprising: selecting, by a hardware processor of a first vehicle, a second vehicle as a candidate for a drafting group; receiving, from the second vehicle, a drafting capability indication; in response to receiving the drafting capability indication, transmitting, from the first vehicle to the second vehicle, a drafting request; receiving, from the second vehicle, a drafting response; determining, by the hardware processor of the first vehicle, to establish the drafting group including the first vehicle and the second vehicle; and transmitting, from the first vehicle to the second vehicle, a drafting confirmation, wherein the drafting confirmation indicates that the first vehicle agrees to establish the drafting group with the second vehicle.

Abstract: A system and method for providing verification of tracking and monitoring devices with cargo transportation units is provided. The track and monitoring device is mounted to the cargo transportation unit to provide location tracking and security functions. The association process is typical a manual process by a technician of identifying container visual identifiers to the installed tracking and monitoring unit. Errors in the association process can occur during installation and repairs. The association between tracking and monitoring devices and their respective cargo transportation unit is verified by receiving images from one tracking and monitoring device at a server and verifying the cargo transportation unit identifier is associated with another tracking and monitoring device.
