Problems solved by technology

One problem with the rapid implementation of such intelligent transportation systems is that many existing vehicles (the current vehicle stock) do not have the functionality required to implement such systems with any degree of efficiency
Likewise, if only a fraction of the vehicles parked in a predetermined area are visible to an intelligent parking control system, it cannot effectively control the flow of traffic in a vacant parking space

Embodiment Construction

[0039] specific reference Figure 1a and 1b , shows a motor vehicle 5 having a plurality of electrical systems 10 supplied with electrical power from a mains power system 12 of the motor vehicle 5 . It will be appreciated that motor vehicle 5 also includes a variety of other systems and components such as, but not limited to: propulsion system, transmission system, multiple wheels, suspension system, body structure, and space for one or more occupants . These additional systems and components are not in the Figure 1a are shown in , since they are not directly relevant to the present invention.

[0040] As is known in the art, the power system 12 includes a distribution system (connector), a power source such as a generator, and at least one battery or power storage device for use when the generator is not running. The power system 12 also includes a plurality of 12V power sockets 13 , and the power sockets 13 may be in the form of cigar or cigarette lighter sockets 13 . Such...

Abstract

An apparatus for transferring data from a motor vehicle to a remote data processing system includes a first plug-in device for insertable into an on-board diagnostic (OBD) port of the vehicle and a second plug-in device insertable into a power socket of the vehicle. The first plug-in device receives power from and collects diagnostic data from the OBD port and transmits the data via a short-range communications link. The second plug-in device receives power from the power socket, receives the diagnostic data transmitted by the first plug-in device, and re-transmits the diagnostic data along with a geographic location of the vehicle to a remote data processing system. The apparatus provides a simple and cost-effective device that can be fitted to the current vehicle stock in order to enable the rapid introduction of intelligent vehicle monitoring systems.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to motor vehicles, and in particular, to an apparatus comprising means fitted to a motor vehicle using an existing power outlet capable of communicating information about the motor vehicle to a remote location. Background technique [0002] There is an increasing demand for motor vehicles capable of interacting with other remote devices such as telematics systems for intelligent vehicle monitoring purposes, such as intelligent transportation systems, intelligent parking systems, and Vehicle usage system. [0003] Such systems rely on the transmission of data about various attributes of the motor vehicle to a telematics system to provide the required functionality, and it is likely that future vehicles will be equipped with integrated systems to provide the required data. [0004] For example, in the case of intelligent transportation systems, the location of most of the motor vehicles within a defined area must be known i...
