System and method for tracking vehicle activity and reporting vehicle issues
A system according to the present disclosure includes an identification module, a data recording module, and a data upload module. The identification module is configured to identify at least one of a vehicle and a user of the vehicle. The data recording module is configured to record a location of the vehicle, an acceleration of the vehicle, and data received from a controller area network (CAN) bus of the vehicle during a driving session. The data upload module is configured to upload the vehicle location, the vehicle acceleration, the CAN bus data, and at least one of the vehicle identification and the user identification to a remote server.
1. A system comprising:
an identification circuit configured to identify a user of a vehicle;
a user interface device (UID) control circuit configured to control a UID to display a list of available vehicle activities based on an identity of the user; and
a data recording circuit configured to (i) record data received from a controller area network (CAN) bus of the vehicle during a driving session and (ii) select data channels of the CAN bus to record based on a selected vehicle activity of the available vehicle activities.
2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the selected vehicle activity of the available vehicle activities is selected by the user.
3. The system of claim 1 , wherein the data recording circuit is configured to record at least one of a location of the vehicle and an acceleration of the vehicle.
4. The system of claim 3 , wherein at least one of the location of the vehicle and the acceleration of the vehicle is determined by the UID.
5. The system of claim 3 , further comprising a data upload circuit configured to transmit at least one of data received from the CAN bus, the location of the vehicle, and the acceleration of the vehicle to a remote server.
6. The system of claim 5 , further comprising a wireless communication circuit operable to transmit data received from the data upload circuit wirelessly to the remote server.
7. The system of claim 1 , further comprising a data upload circuit configured to transmit data received from the CAN bus to a remote server.
8. The system of claim 7 , further comprising a wireless communication circuit operable to transmit data received from the data upload circuit wirelessly to the remote server.
9. The system of claim 1 , wherein the identification circuit is configured to identify the vehicle.
10. The system of claim 1 , wherein the identification circuit is configured to identify the user based on input received from at least one of a microchip associated with the user and the UID.
11. A system comprising:
an identification circuit configured to identify a vehicle;
a user interface device (UID) control circuit configured to control a UID to display a list of available vehicle activities based on an identity of the vehicle; and
a data recording circuit configured to (i) record data received from a controller area network (CAN) bus of the vehicle during a driving session and (ii) select data channels of the CAN bus to record based on a selected vehicle activity of the available vehicle activities.
12. The system of claim 11 , wherein the selected vehicle activity of the available vehicle activities is selected by a user of the vehicle.
13. The system of claim 11 , wherein the data recording circuit is configured to record at least one of a location of the vehicle and an acceleration of the vehicle.
14. The system of claim 13 , wherein at least one of the location of the vehicle and the acceleration of the vehicle is determined by the UID.
15. The system of claim 13 , further comprising a data upload circuit configured to transmit at least one of data received from the CAN bus, the location of the vehicle, and the acceleration of the vehicle to a remote server.
16. The system of claim 15 , further comprising a wireless communication circuit operable to transmit data received from the data upload circuit wirelessly to the remote server.
17. The system of claim 11 , further comprising a data upload circuit configured to transmit data received from the CAN bus to a remote server.
18. The system of claim 17 , further comprising a wireless communication circuit operable to transmit data received from the data upload circuit wirelessly to the remote server.
19. The system of claim 11 , wherein the identification circuit is configured to identify a user of the vehicle.
20. The system of claim 19 , wherein the identification circuit is configured to identify the user based on input received from at least one of a microchip associated with the user and the UID.
