I.D. Systems, Inc. has been awarded patent number 8,676,670 for a mobile asset data management system, primarily for industrial vehicles. It covers a broad range of essential processes utilized by wireless vehicle management systems (VMS) including the basic network architecture for a wireless VMS that utilizes an intermediary wireless device between the system database and system’s vehicle-mounted wireless devices; vehicle access control authorizations by operator group; impact sensing that incorporates the axes, time, level, and angle of an impact to a vehicle; vehicle inspection checklists that are stored autonomously on vehicle-mounted devices, so the devices do not need to actively communicate over the wireless network to deliver the checklists; programmable, event-triggered checklists that are stored autonomously on vehicle-mounted devices; and vehicle location tracking by radio frequency signals that are generated by an intermediary wireless device between the system database and the system’s vehicle-mounted wireless devices.
