Patent attributes
A system and method for monitoring a vehicle are presented. The system includes a first imaging subsystem for acquiring a plurality of load-carrying-portion images. A cargo-detection subsystem is configured for analyzing each of the plurality of load-carrying-portion images to determine whether cargo is positioned on the load-carrying portion of the vehicle. A power-detection subsystem is configured for determining when the vehicle is running. A motion-detection subsystem is configured for determining when the vehicle is in motion. An analytics subsystem is configured for calculating at least one of (i) the amount of time that the vehicle is running, (ii) the amount of time that the vehicle is running while cargo is positioned on the load-carrying portion, (iii) the amount of time the vehicle is in motion, and (iv) the amount of time the vehicle is in motion while cargo is positioned on the load-carrying portion.
