Abstract:
A system and related methods for management, planning and control of a connected fleet of vehicles. A unique, single integrated platform may be provided for management, planning and control of a connected fleet of vehicles, including fleet planning, in-fleeting operations, vehicle acquisition and provisioning, vehicle assignment, vehicle transfers, vehicle use operations, vehicle servicing, vehicle maintenance and repairs, and de-fleeting operations. Fleet communications can be by cellular, wireless, or low earth orbit satellite communications. Fleet vehicles include a programmable TCU installed in the vehicle and connected, directly or indirectly, to the CAN bus or similar vehicle network, and carries out various operations, including controlling vehicle access. Where outside communications links are not available, access to a vehicle may be through a protected, secure, single-use token stored on a user's computing device upon making a reservation, which is later securely communicated to the vehicle. The vehicle processes the token and allows access if the information in the token is valid.

Claim (Index 2):
The system of  claim 1 , wherein said fleet management services comprise a process for allowing access to a fleet vehicle that is not able to establish electronic communication with said at least one fleet management system server, comprising:\n accepting a reservation from a user for a particular fleet vehicle; creating a reservation object for the user's reservation, said reservation object comprising a unique reservation identification number or code; transmitting the reservation object to a mobile computing device of the user for storage on the mobile computing device; at or near a start time for the reservation, establishing a short range communication link between the telematics control unit in the particular vehicle and the user mobile computing device; receiving, in the telematics control unit, a data packet transmission from the mobile computing device, wherein the data packet transmission includes data from the reservation object; verifying, by the telematics control unit independently and without communication with a remote system server, the reservation information; presenting, from the telematics control unit to the user mobile computing device, a random challenge involving the unique reservation identification number or code; receiving, by the telematics control unit, a solution to the random challenge from the user mobile computing device; authenticating the short range communication link if the solution from the user mobile computing device is validated by the telematics control unit; and after authentication, receiving, by the telematics control unit, one or more commands from the user mobile computing device.
