Abstract:

Apparatus and method for determining when a vehicle has arrived or departed from a planned or an unplanned stop, while minimizing or completely eliminating driver intervention. The apparatus comprises a mobile communication terminal located onboard a vehicle for receiving destination information, generally using wireless means, from a central facility or hub. A speedometer also located onboard the vehicle determines the speed of the vehicle and a position sensor onboard the vehicle determines the vehicle position. The vehicle speed and position are provided to a processor, also located onboard the vehicle, which uses the speed and position information to determine a vehicle arrival or departure from a planned or unplanned stop. The processor generates an indication of the event, either arrival or departure, directly to the central facility, to the vehicle operator, or both.
