Abstract
Disclosed are methods, systems, and non-transitory computer-readable medium for vehicle information reporting of a vehicle using Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) receivers and a satellite communication transceiver for a satellite system. For instance, the method may include obtaining GNSS data to determine position, altitude, speed, track, or vertical rate information for the vehicle; receiving inputs from timers, sensors, or a user interface of the vehicle; determining whether to transmit a message based on rules applied to the obtained GNSS data and the received inputs; in response to determining to transmit the message, compiling the message based on a message content rule, the message being configurable with respect to a maximum size of a radio-determination-satellite service (RDSS) message of the satellite system, the message including an emergency message when the rules indicate an emergency situation; and transmitting the message via the satellite communication transceiver to a satellite of the satellite system.
