Abstract
Methods and systems for detecting malfunctioning on-board telematics units in vehicles. A computing device may receive a first and second geofence location for a vehicle from a fleet management system. The computing device may determine whether it received a third location from an on-board telematics unit of the vehicle within a time period between receiving the first geofence location and receiving the second geofence location. The computing device may determine that the on-board telematics unit associated with the vehicle is in a state of anomaly in response to determining that the third location was not received from the on-board telematics unit of the vehicle within a time period between receiving the first geofence location and receiving the second geofence location.
