A method includes defining a pre-load zone that has reliable communication along a route. The pre-load zone is associated with a trip of a vehicle traveling along the route. A starting location of the trip is located outside of the pre-load zone. The vehicle is configured to enter the pre-load zone and exit the pre-load zone prior to reaching the starting location of the trip. The method includes receiving a trip request message that identifies the pre-load zone from the vehicle after the vehicle enters the pre-load zone and prior to the vehicle exiting the pre-load zone. The method also includes sending a trip response message to the vehicle that the vehicle receives prior to exiting the pre-load zone. The trip response message includes trip data specific to the trip that is selected based on the association between the pre-load zone and the trip.

Method and system for communicating data with vehicles

A communication method includes the steps of, at a first system, communicating with a second system for the establishment of a mutual clock and, at the first system, performing a first set of operations based on the mutual clock and performing a different, second set of operations based on a first clock of the first system, wherein the first clock is different from the mutual clock.

Information describing one or more items is published to multiple subscribers. A subsequent change to the information requested by one of the multiple subscribers (such as a change in the status of an item corresponding to the information) is communicated to each of subscribers to which the information was previously published.

Maintaining synchronization of information published to multiple subscribers

A set of pluggable rules are used to define low-level security rules in terms of high-level security concepts. The rules are part of a pluggable module that can interact with a business logic to provide different granularities of control.

A method and system for verifying resolution of attributes of a computer program. The verification system analyzes a command-based computer program prior to runtime to determine whether the input attributes associated with a command would be properly resolved prior to execution of that command at runtime. During verification, the verification system processes the commands of the program in sequence. For each input attribute of a command, the verification system identifies a source (e.g., output attribute of a command) of the value for the input attributes. The verification system then determines whether that source would be properly resolved during execution of the computer program.

A method and system for preparing a program for customization. The customization system 'compiles' a computer program by identifying the content of each statement of the computer program that may be customized. The customization system identifies the type associated with each statement. Based on the type of statement, the customization system identifies content of the statement that can be customized and stores the identified content in a custom content bundle. The customization system then replaces the identified content in the statement with an include content command that includes the content identifier of the corresponding content. When the computer program is executed, the include content command of the statement causes the retrieving of a content associated with its content identifier from a custom content bundle.

A method and system for matching new customer records to existing customer records in a database. The new customer records are validated for quality and normalized into a standard form. A hash key is selected to generate a candidate set of records from the existing records in the database that likely matches the new customer records. The new customer records are then matched to each of the records in the candidate set. Once the matching has been performed, a decision is made on whether to create a new customer record, update an existing record, or save the new record in a pending file for resolution at a later time. In another embodiment, there is a methodology for learning matching rules for matching records in a database. The matching rules are then used for matching a new customer record to existing records in a database.
