Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[001] The present invention generally relates to the field of fleet management, and more particularly relates to a method and system for predicting a location of a vehicle when one or more real time location signals are lost.BACKGROUND

[002] The following description includes information that may be useful in understanding the present invention. It is not an admission that any of the information provided herein is prior art or relevant to the presently claimed invention, or that any publication specifically or implicitly referenced is prior art.

[003] For a vehicle, tracking a location of the vehicle plays an important role in understanding the distance travelled and helps in estimating a time of arrival of the vehicle at the desired destination. Especially, in logistics, where a fleet of vehicles for example, trucks travel for long distances across varied weather conditions and tough terrains. In suchcases tracking the location of the fleet vehicle is very important for safety reasons and to plan the rest of the fleet management. Currently a real time location is fetched from a Global Positioning System (GPS) by utilizing one or more vehicle GPS tracking devices and sent to the cloud via a cellular network such Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM) using telematics unit. The location is used by fleet owners totrack vehicles. However, in certain scenarios e. g., inside tunnels, bad weather conditions or due to onboard component failure, a loss of GPS signal may be experienced. This causes loss of transmission of the location information of the vehicle. In such cases, the fleet owner won't be able to track fleet vehicles which affects fleet management. Furthermore, loss of track of the fleet vehicle may lead to safety andsecurity concerns.

[004] Currently there are some location prediction techniques that can predict the location of the vehicle in case of real time positioning signal loss. However, such techniques fail to consider all the essential parameters of the vehicle and the trip in calculating andpredicting the location of the vehicle. Therefore, the existing techniques of predicting the location of the vehicle are inaccurate and not precise in predicting the location.

[005] JP2022023388A discloses a method and device for determining vehicle position. The device is configured to specify the position of a vehicle with high accuracy. The device acquires the position of the vehicle, the speed of the vehicle, a yaw rate of the vehicle, a sideslip angle of the vehicle to determine the position of the vehicle. Therefore, this technique does not teach predicting the location of the vehicle. Further, the parameters considered are useful only for determining position and not the location of the vehicle.

It is to be expressly understood, however, that each ofthe figures is provided for the purpose of illustration and description only and is notintended as a definition of the limits of the present disclosure.

[0026] As discussed earlier, if a positioning information becomes unavailable, a fleet owner or a management service will not be able to track the vehicle. This situation may arise dueto the position of the vehicle being in a low network area or the vehicle travelling in adeep tunnel or due to onboard component failure, etc. These scenarios can triggersecurity issues for the fleet management service and may loss the track of the fleet service and affects their business.

[0027] In order to overcome the above-mentioned challenges, the present disclosure provides technique(s) for predicting the location of a vehicle, by considering real time parametersof the vehicle and the trip data to predict the location accurately and precisely. Furthermore, with the technique(s) of the present disclosure, enables accurate location prediction of the vehicle. A detailed explanation of the proposed technique(s) is disclosed in the forthcoming paragraphs.

[0028] Figure 1 depicts an exemplary environment 100 for predicting a location of a vehicle 107, in accordance with embodiments of the present disclosure. The exemplary environment 100 illustrates the vehicle 107, which may operate in a fleet service. In a normal scenario a real time location of the vehicle 107 is fetched from a Global Positioning System (GPS) 105 by utilizing one or more vehicle GPS tracking devices109 and sent to a cloud 106 via a cellular network such Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM) using telematics unit 108. In some scenario where the vehicle 107 may travel in a bad or low network area and because of that the GPS tracking device 109 of the vehicle 107 may receive a low or no signal from the GPS 105. In such scenario, the vehicle 107 may not be able to transmit the positioning or locationinformation of the vehicle with a fleet service provider.

[0029] In a non-limiting example, the vehicle 107 may be an autonomous vehicle or a human driven vehicle. For example, vehicle 107 may be a truck, a car, a watercraft, an aerial vehicle.

An AI based system for predicting a location of a vehicle, comprises: a memory; a processor electronically coupled to the memory, the processor configured to: receive a prerequisite data upon detecting a loss of one or more signals required to track a real time location of a vehicle, wherein the prerequisite data comprises at least a set of data associated with a trip of the vehicle and a set of one or more real time data associated with the one or more parameters of the vehicle; an AI based location prediction model coupled to the processor, wherein based on the prerequisite data, the AI based location prediction model configured to: fetch a route map associated with the trip of the vehicle and a time taken for traveling a particular distance on the trip till a point of loss of the one or more signals, wherein based on the real time data, the AI based location prediction model configured to: determine an average speed of the vehicle with respect to the time; and predict a location of the vehicle based on the average speed and the time.

7. The system as claimed in claim 6, wherein to predict the location of the vehicle based on the average speed and the time, the AI based location prediction model configured to: calculate the location of the vehicle based on the average speed and the time; mark the location of the vehicle in a fleet board portal map; and transmit the fleet board portal map to a computing device of a fleet owner.

8. The system as claimed in claim 6, wherein the set of data associated with a trip of the vehicle, comprises at least one or more of: an end location of a trip, a terrain information, a traffic data and time taken for the trip; and wherein the set of real time associated with the one or more parameters of the vehicle, comprises at least one or more of: an engine torque, an engine speed, a trailer pressure, a barometric pressure, an average speed of the vehicle and a vehicle weight in a particular trip.

9. The system as claimed in claim 6, wherein the AI based location prediction model further configured to: track an ignition cycle of the vehicle to update the one or more information associated with the trip of the vehicle and the set of real time data associated with the one or more parameters of the vehicle.

10. The system as claimed in claim 6, wherein the AI based location prediction model further configured to: track a moving or an idle state of the vehicle based on the set of real time data associated with the one or more parameters of the vehicle; and update the moving or an idle state of the vehicle on the fleet board portal map.
