Motor Vehicle Monitoring Method for Determining Driver Negligence of an Engine

摘要

A motor vehicle monitoring method for determining driver negligence is carried out by a company in order to determine a final assessment for the vehicle. The method for determining driver negligence enables the company to calculate an average revolutions per initial odometer value and an average revolutions per secondary odometer value, where the average revolutions per secondary odometer value is a direct indication about operating state of the vehicle or an action of an end user during a designated time period. Then the company is able to adjust the contact agreement for the designated time period upon the final assessment, wherein the responsible party that violates the contact agreement is only liable for the respective damages. The method for determining driver negligence also validates the odometer and speedometer values from illegal tampering.

1. A method of monitoring a vehicle for determining driver negligence, the method comprises the step of:
(A) providing an odometer in a vehicle, wherein the odometer generating an initial odometer value to represent a total distance traveled by the vehicle; (B) providing an engine control unit (ECU) and a global positioning system (GPS) device connected to the ECU in the vehicle, wherein the ECU generates an average revolutions per initial odometer value by repeatedly dividing a plurality of initial engine revolutions by the initial odometer value; (C) recording the initial odometer value, the average revolutions per initial odometer value, and the plurality of initial engine revolutions in order to prepare the vehicle for a designated time period; (D) pressing a reset button linked to the odometer in order to initiate a secondary odometer value, an average revolutions per secondary odometer value, and a plurality of secondary engine revolutions; (E) releasing the vehicle to an end user for the designated time period upon completion of a contract agreement; (F) recording the secondary odometer value and the average revolutions per secondary odometer value for the designated time period, wherein the plurality of secondary engine revolutions is divided by the secondary odometer value to calculate the average revolutions per secondary odometer value; (G) validating the secondary odometer value and the average revolutions per secondary odometer value of the vehicle for the designated time period; and (H) determining a final assessment with a standard engine revolutions per distance unit upon the validation of the secondary odometer value and the average revolutions per secondary odometer value.
