Abstract
Disclosed is a system providing tracking and wireless communications for remote diagnostics of a vehicle which transmits data communicated over a vehicle system's CAN bus to a remote location, which is adapted to use data received from a vehicle in order to compare the performance of the vehicle and/or of the operator of the vehicle with the performance of other vehicles and/or operators of other vehicles, which incorporates advanced power management functionality for conserving power, particularly when the system is disconnected from a main power supply, and which facilitates the identification of vehicles that have not reported back to the system or that have not moved within a specified time period.
