Latest Patents

Steinwedel is associated with 1 patent, titled “Context-Based Vehicle Idling Detection System.” The invention monitors engine operational data to identify vehicle idling. When an idling parameter exceeds a threshold, the system gathers contextual information, such as camera feeds, location data, and environmental conditions. It analyzes these inputs to determine the circumstances of the event, categorize the idling state, and generate reports describing the category and operating conditions. By combining multiple data streams, the system aims to distinguish productive idling from unproductive idling in real time.
