Land vehicle communications systems and process for providing information and coordinating vehicle activities

摘要

A communication system architecture (SA) (100) for a vehicle which may be integrated into the vehicle's multiplexed electronic component communication system (112), and a process for communicating with the vehicle (111) to provide information for and about the vehicle's operational status and coordinating the vehicle's operational status and coordinating the vehicle's activities. The process for communicating with the vehicle (111) will involve a communication service for which the vehicle's (111) driver will enroll for. The service will be capable of providing various levels of information transfer and coordination. The levels may include vehicle information such as (1) the need for servicing and guiding to a location of the nearest service centre with the necessary parts in stock, (2) routing, and (3) load brokering and coordination offering alternative vehicles for load transport according to the circumstances. The effect of environmental circumstances on the fleet of cargo vehicles is a parameter used by the service.
