Abstract
In some embodiments, a method may include receiving, at a server, onboard diagnostic data associated with an operational state of a vehicle of a user; calculating vehicle-related trip expense data based on the vehicle trip distance data included in the onboard diagnostic data; generating a message including the vehicle-related trip expense data and wirelessly transmitting the message to a mobile device having an interface to present the vehicle-related trip expense data. The onboard diagnostic data may include vehicle trip distance data for a vehicle trip. The vehicle-related trip expense data may be based on a first cost rate associated with a first segment of the vehicle trip and a second rate associated with a second segment of the vehicle trip, and the calculating may be performed by a processor of the server. The onboard diagnostic data may be compatible with the OBD-II standard.
