The invention provides a method for vehicle data upload by activating at least one action trigger as a function of a vehicle communication unit, collecting at least one attribute data within a mobile vehicle, transmitting the attribute data from the vehicle communication unit to a mobile network intelligence, determining a second attribute data, producing a second action trigger, transmitting the second action trigger from the mobile network intelligence to the vehicle communication unit, and overwriting the action trigger as the second action trigger.

Method and system for vehicle data upload

One aspect of the present invention provides a method of assembling a vehicle using a communication node. A telematics module, which is operatively adapted to communicate with the communication node, is connected to the vehicle. At least one control module, for controlling at least one vehicle function, is connected to the vehicle and is also in communication with the telematics module. A command is issued for the at least one vehicle function, from the communication node to the control module. Programs and systems of using the method are also provided.

Method and system for managing vehicle control modules through telematics

The present invention provides a system, a method, and a computer usable medium that includes a program, for generating navigation instructions for a vehicle. This may be done by determining whether a first proximity area associated with a first maneuver point overlaps with a second maneuver proximity area associated with a second maneuver point and determining whether a first vehicle location is within the first proximity area. It may also be done by determining a first distance between the first vehicle location and a zero point associated with the first maneuver point and determining a second distance between a second vehicle location and the zero point associated with the first maneuver point. It may also be one by truncating the first proximity area based on a comparison of the first distance and the second distance.

Method and system for reducing maneuver proximity diameter for a waypoint navigation system

The present invention provides a system, a method and a computer usable medium including a program for generating navigation instructions for a vehicle. This may be done by determining a number of shape points between a set of primary maneuver points and determining whether the number of shape points exceeds a cardinal threshold; determining a great circle distance and a bearing between a first shape point and a second shape point, determining whether the bearing exceeds an angular threshold and eliminating the second shape point if it is determined that the bearing exceeds the angular threshold.

Method and system for reducing shape points for a navigation system

The present invention provides a system, a method and a computer usable medium including a program for providing road condition information to a mobile vehicle. This may be done by receiving a plurality of road points, determining a road profile value based on at least a portion of the road points and determining whether the road profile value exceeds a road profile threshold value. It may also be done by computing a suggested vehicle speed, when the road profile value exceeds the road profile threshold value, comparing the suggested vehicle speed to a sensed vehicle speed and sending an excessive speed alert to the vehicle based on the comparison.
