Abstract
Methods and systems for providing event driven vehicle position reporting are disclosed. For example, if a conventional communication system normally utilized by the vehicle for position reporting is turned off, behaving abnormally or otherwise disabled, methods and systems in accordance with the present disclosure may provide supplemental means and capabilities to continue vehicle position reporting. Furthermore, in certain embodiments, the supplemental reporting systems are configured so that they cannot be turned off or disabled.
