1. An operation management system for a vehicle controllable by an operator to perform various vehicle actions, the system including a processor, a memory, and a human-machine interface, the processor configured to:

  • record sequences of operator-initiated vehicle actions into the memory;

    record a distance value associated with each vehicle action relative to a previous vehicle action in the sequence into the memory;

    generate a new sequence in the memory beginning with each vehicle action;

    track a time delta and a distance delta for each sequence;

    determine whether the time delta is greater than or equal to a time threshold or whether the distance delta is greater than or equal to a distance threshold for one of the sequences;

    if either the time threshold or the distance threshold is met, determine whether the sequence includes at least a predetermined number of vehicle actions in the sequence and

         1) delete the sequence from the memory if the number of vehicle actions is not at least the predetermined number of vehicle actions or

         2) save the sequence to the memory if the number of vehicle actions is at least the predetermined number of vehicle actions; and

    select one or more saved sequences from the memory and display on the human-machine interface a representation of the one or more saved sequences.
