    Abstract: A method and apparatus for identifying and validating vehicle operators to multiple electronic systems, such as fleet management centers and electronic monitoring systems, in a communication system. The invention is particularly useful in the commercial trucking industry where multiple electronic applications require the identification of a vehicle operator. Each vehicle operator in the communication system is preassigned a unique identification code which is used to request a login or logoff from the validation system. A database of all vehicle operator identification codes is stored at a central station. The identification code is transmitted from the vehicle to the central station when a login or logoff is desired. If the identification code of the requesting operator is found in the database, any electronic system requiring the vehicle operator's identification is notified of the login of logoff event and the identification of the vehicle operator requesting the event.

    Abstract: A method and apparatus for identifying and validating vehicle operators to multiple electronic systems, such as fleet management centers (110) and electronic monitoring systems, in a communication system. The invention is particularly useful in the commercial trucking industry where multiple electronic applications require the identification o f a vehicle operator. Each vehicle operator in the communication system is preassigned a unique identification code which is used to request a login or logoff from the validation system (208, 210, 212, 216, 214). A database of all vehicle operator identification codes is stored at a central station. The identification code is transmitted from the vehicle to the central station (102) when a login or logoff is desired. If the identification code of the requesting operator is found in the database (210), any electronic system requiring the vehicle operator' s identification is notified of the login or logoff event and the identification of the vehicle operator requesting the event.

    Abstract: Method and apparatus for providing virtual capacity to a service provider. A service provider contacts a third party service provider when the service provider can not perform services for a customer. A solicitation is sent by the service provider and accepted by the third party service provider. After acceptance, status and/or location information from the third party service provider is redirected within a network management facility so that the information is sent to the service provider, rather than to an entity normally associated with the third party service provider. After services have been performed by the third party service provider, the third party service provider is generally free to accept service requests from other service providers, whereby messages transmitted by the third party service provider are routed to the new service provider.

    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.
