Abstract: A system for collecting data from a machine lacking network connectivity may comprise a mobile vehicle. The mobile vehicle may be configured for providing a vehicle communication network to a data hauling device of the machine, the machine being remote from a stationary site having a site-specific communication network. The mobile vehicle may further be configured for retrieving data from the data hauling device via the vehicle communication network, detecting the site-specific communication network, and uploading the retrieved data to the stationary site using the site-specific communication network.

Abstract: Operational data from vehicles operating over a haul road at a work site may be used to determine when road conditions exist that require maintenance to be performed on the haul road. As the vehicles travel over the haul road, sensors transmit sensor signals with the operational data for locations along the road. An electronic control module (ECM) of each vehicle determines road quality indicators for the locations and compares the road quality indicators to predetermined road quality indicator limits. When two or more vehicles determine that a road quality indicator at a location is outside the predetermined road quality indicator limits, or if the same vehicle determines that a road quality indicator at the location is outside the predetermined road quality indicator limits, a road maintenance request message may be generated that will result in the necessary maintenance to be performed at the location.
