A system for configuring at least one sensor system of a vehicle includes a processor, at least one sensor, and a memory device. The processor is configured to execute the method that includes the steps of, during a learning mode, receiving signals from the at least one sensor regarding one or more objects attached to the vehicle, storing in a memory device at least one location of one or more objects attached to the vehicle in the memory and detected by the at least one sensor. In an operating mode, the method includes the steps of receiving signals from the at least one sensor regarding the location of one or more objects external to the vehicle, determining if the location of any of the objects external to the vehicle are different from the locations of any objects stored in the memory device during the learning mode, and reporting to a vehicle system when one or more objects external to the vehicle have a one or more locations different from the locations stored in the memory device during the learning mode.

System and method for configuring at least one sensor system of a vehicle

The systems and methods of the present disclosure utilize an advantageous data transmission protocol, which facilitates determining and compensating for transmission delay between nodes in a communications network in order to correlate timing information across multiple nodes. According to the systems and methods presented herein, data may be transmitted from a first node to a second node, wherein the transmitted data includes each of (i) timing information (as measured by a first timing mechanism associated with the first node) characterizing a first set of data and (ii) a transmission time (as also measured by the first timing mechanism). A receiving time (as measured by a second timing mechanism associated with the second node) for the first set of data, may also be determined. Based on these parameters timing information characterizing the first set of data in the context of the second timing mechanism may then be determined.

Systems and methods for synchronizing processor operations over a communications network

A remote vehicle diagnostics, monitoring, configuration and reprogramming tool is provided. The system includes a fleet of vehicles equipped with wireless mobile communications means that enable fleet managers to remotely diagnose, monitor and reprogram vehicles in their fleet via an Internet Web-based browser environment. Each vehicle within the fleet is equipped with a smart device that is coupled to the data bus within each vehicle. Date commands relating to the vehicle's parameters (e.g., diagnostic parameters such as max road speed, engine RPM, coolant temperature, air inlet temperature, etc.) are sent and received using satellite and terrestrial wireless communications technology. The invention allows users to remotely perform total fleet logistics and eliminates (or reduces) the need to physically bring fleet vehicles to a repair, maintenance or configuration facility.

System, method and computer program product for remote vehicle diagnostics, monitoring, configuring and reprogramming

A system and method for monitoring, configuring, programming and/or diagnosing operation of at least one vehicle includes an on-board unit disposed on the vehicle to send and receive data corresponding to at least one vehicle operating characteristic, a plurality of modular applications, each application having an associated function that processes the data corresponding to said at least one vehicle operating characteristic obtained via the on-board unit, and an interface that allows selection among the plurality of modular applications to create a customized system.
