Abstract
A data monitoring apparatus uses a GPS receiver, micro controller, a plurality of sensors and actuators, a memory, a radio transmitter and a data communication antennae. The apparatus accumulates real-time data concerning position and time and other operational parameters of a geographically mobile object for example a vehicle for transmission to a monitoring station. Transmission channel utility may be improved through transmission of accumulated historical data to a separate monitoring station.
