Automatic vehicle location (AVL or ~locating; telelocating in EU) is a means for automatically determining and transmitting the geographic location of a vehicle. This vehicle location data, from one or more vehicles, may then be collected by a vehicle tracking system to manage an overview of vehicle travel. As of 2017, GPS technology has reached the point of having the transmitting device be smaller than the size of a human thumb (thus easier to conceal), able to run 6 months or more between battery charges, easy to communicate with smartphones (merely requiring a duplicate SIM card from one's mobile phone carrier in most cases) — all for less than $20 USD.
Autonomous Powered Earth-Moving Vehicle Control Using LiDAR Data From On-Vehicle Sensors
Systems and techniques are described for implementing autonomous control of powered earth-moving vehicles, including to automatically calibrate a LiDAR sensor's mount location on a powered earth-moving vehicle (e.g., for one or more on-vehicle LiDAR sensors that are mounted or otherwise positioned on movable component parts of a particular powered earth-moving vehicle, such as hydraulic arms, tool attachments, etc.), and to perform further automated vehicle positioning determination using the calibrated LiDAR data. The calibration may include determining at least one transformation for each LiDAR sensor between its mount location and a known position in a global common coordinate system, such as based on RTK-corrected GPS-based vehicle location, and LiDAR-based Simultaneous Localization And Mapping (SLAM) processing may be used with calibrated LiDAR data to determine vehicle position (location and orientation) on a site on which the vehicle is located.

Distributed maintenance decision and support system and method
The present disclosure is directed to a computer that receives weather information from a weather service provider (“WSP”) server and automatic vehicle locating system (“AVL”) collected information from an AVL server, accesses a material performance specification for at least one treatment material, and determines, based on the weather information and / or AVL collected information and the material performance specification, a treatment recommendation for a selected roadway segment and / or route.
