Will Smart announced that it obtained a patent on 20 October for technology related to a vehicle information management system for trucks and other vehicles. Vehicles have multiple computers, and the system can accommodate cases in which mileage data differs.
The patented technology collects different information for each vehicle, calculates a standard distance, and centrally manages it in the cloud. This is expected to enable mileage to be managed using a common standard, improving the monitoring of vehicle operating status, maintenance planning, and fuel-efficiency and CO2 emissions management.
The technology is scheduled for use in the company's Will-Fleet product, an OBD II digital tachograph. Will Smart announced the patent acquisition on 9 November.
