Abstract
A utility vehicle that includes a vehicle control system having one or more real time clocks (RTC). The RTC can be embedded in the vehicle control system, or in components or subsystems of the vehicle control system, and can be either dedicated electronics or software based. Information provided by the RTC can be used to synchronize components and subsystems of the vehicle control system. Further, such inclusion of the RTC can enable the vehicle control system to initiate a number of time based functions, including, for example, time based functions relating to battery charging, wake-up and shut down of components, status reporting, periodic vehicle level events and maintenance, and management of time based operation or use of the utility vehicle or components thereof, including vehicle cameras.
