The system ( 1100 ) is configured to access and combine off-vehicle content with on-vehicle data in order to enable, disable or manage at least one function of the mobile device ( 1107 ) over the secure wireless network.

A system ( 1100 ) and method ( 1200 ) for generating vehicle data and surrounding contextual data into a standardized form by combining disparate, non-standardized onboard vehicle data into a central repository which is updated in real-time, that normalizes that data from non-standard to pre-defined formats, and then makes the pre-defined data available for consumption to authorized applications and users in raw form, or as outputs to a data product comprising data from multiple onboard signal generating sources through APIs. The system ( 1100 ) comprises an assigning authority engine ( 1105 ), a mobile device ( 110 ) for a vehicle ( 1000 ), a connected vehicle device ( 135 ) comprising on-vehicle data for the vehicle ( 1000 ), and an off vehicle source selected from a database ( 1125 ), a cloud source ( 1180 ), or a physical structure ( 1140 ).

A system ( 1100 ) and method ( 810 ) for monitoring and minimizing vehicle carbon emissions is disclosed herein. The system ( 1100 ) comprises a mobile device ( 110 ) for a vehicle ( 1000 ), a connected vehicle device ( 135 ) comprising on-vehicle data for the vehicle ( 1000 ), and an off vehicle source ( 70 ) selected from a database ( 1125 ), a cloud source ( 1175 ), or a physical structure ( 1140 ). The mobile device ( 110 ) is configured to access and combine off-vehicle content ( 75 ) with on-vehicle data relating to carbon emissions, in order to enable, disable or manage at least one function of the vehicle ( 1000 ) over a secure wireless network ( 80 ).

A system and method for micro-navigation of a mobile object ( 1000 ) is disclosed herein. Micro-navigation provides guidance to destinations that are not normally found on maps or in navigation systems. In one micro-navigation method, data is collected ( 1501 ) related to route transit to specific end points that are not typically mapped. The end points are identified ( 1502 ) by relating specific geo coordinates, or physical landmark based characteristics, or electronically described and defined end point to a an identification that will be entered and stored in a location database. Guidance ( 1503 ) is provided to vehicles traveling to those end points or destinations, with additional information relevant to a route and/or a specific vehicle and configuration updated and made available to the system.

A system ( 900 ) and method ( 1100 ) instructing a vehicle ( 910 ) where and when to refuel is disclosed herein. The system ( 900 ) comprises a server ( 925 ) for receiving a workflow for a vehicle ( 910 ). The workflow comprises an origination location ( 901 ) of the vehicle, a destination ( 950 ) of the vehicle ( 910 ), a route ( 905 ) to the destination, a cargo, a time of departure and a time of arrival. The server ( 925 ) determines a plurality of fuel stops ( 930 ) along the route ( 905 ).

A system ( 100 ) and method ( 250 ) for a temporary secure connection between a vehicle device ( 135 ) for a vehicle ( 1000 ) and wireless authorized network ( 60 ) is disclosed herein. The system ( 100 ) comprises a vehicle ( 1000 ) comprising a vehicle device ( 135 ) and a known service provider comprising a physical location ( 58 ), a server ( 56 ) and a wireless authorized network ( 60 ). The vehicle device ( 135 ) is configured to initiate an authorized transaction ( 65 ), authorized by an assigning authority ( 1105 ), for a service ( 66 ) over the wireless authorized network ( 60 ) with the known service provider ( 55 ).

A system ( 1100 ) and method ( 1600 ) for generating an event session for a mobile object utilizing data and computational information from on-vehicle and off-vehicle sources is disclosed herein. The system ( 1100 ) comprises an assigning authority engine ( 1105 ), a mobile device ( 110 ) for a vehicle ( 1000 ), a connected vehicle device ( 135 ) comprising on-vehicle data for the vehicle ( 1000 ), and an off vehicle source selected from a database ( 1125 ), a cloud source ( 1180 ), or a physical structure ( 1140 ). The assigning authority engine ( 1105 ) is configured to inform an instruction set based on the data and at least one input from off-board data and on-board data, initiate a record of one or more outputs into a super-set of outputs to generate an event session, and associate the event session with a single common time signature and event.
