A system for testing-configuring one or more vehicles includes a task communication module obtaining a task data packet having a selected software-based task to be performed on a selected vehicle, where a task command identifier identifying the task, a command matching module selecting a predefined task command from among a set of stored task commands based on the task command identifier where the predefined task command executes either a selected standardized protocol (i.e., a set of locally stored instructions) or a selected customized protocol to perform the task (i.e., a set of bypass instructions to retrieve a selected script file having a set of customizable instructions), and a command execution module executing the selected standard protocol in response to the predefined task command being the selected standard protocol, and executing the selected customized protocol employing the selected script file based on the predefined task command being the selected customized protocol.

System and method for wirelessly performing software-based tasks on vehicles

A system includes a vehicle managing system (VMS) and a task managing system (TMS). The VMS is configured to communicate to a selected vehicle and is configured to include a vehicle connection module (VCM) and a task allocation module (TAM). The VCM is configured to identify the selected vehicle based on a vehicle identifier of the selected vehicle. The TAM is configured to obtain a task order associated with the selected vehicle, where the task order defines one or more tasks to be performed on the selected vehicle. The TMS includes multiple task execution controllers (TECs) and a task scheduling controller (TSC). The TAM of the VMS is configured to provide the task order for the selected vehicle to the TSC, and the TSC is configured to assign the task order to a selected TEC, which executes the task order for the selected vehicle.

Vehicle managing system for managing vehicles to be tested-configured and method thereof

A telematics control system includes: an external server configured to serialize a script with an external protocol buffer and transmit the serialized script to a telematics control units (TCU); a vehicle having sensors and the TCU, the TCU configured to: deserialize the script with a TCU protocol buffer, execute the script via an interpreter preloaded on the TCU, store data from the sensors based on the script.
