1. A computer-implemented method for mapping trip trajectories, comprising:

  • identifying, by one or more computing devices, one or more vehicle trips and one or more trip parameters associated with at least a portion of each vehicle trip, the one or more trip parameters comprising an engine-off taxiing parameter, the at least a portion of each vehicle trip identified based at least in part on a trip grouping system configured to create data groupings relative to the one or more vehicle trips, and the one or more vehicle trips comprising;

    a first trajectory portion corresponding to engine cool down after landing for a selected aircraft;

    a second trajectory portion corresponding to one or more locations and/or times during which engine-off taxiing is available for use by the selected aircraft; and

    /ora third trajectory portion corresponding to one or more locations and/or times during which engine-off taxiing was actually employed by the selected aircraft;

    identifying, by the one or more computing devices, one or more trajectory configurations associated with the at least a portion of each vehicle trip and one or more parameter configurations associated with the at least a portion of each trip parameter;

    requesting, by the one or more computing devices, location data associated with the one or more vehicle trips and trip parameter data associated with the one or more trip parameters, the location data comprising data pertaining to latitude, longitude, and/or altitude;

    generating, by the one or more computing devices, trip trajectory data based at least in part from the location data associated with the one or more vehicle trips and the one or more trajectory configurations associated with at least a portion of each vehicle trip, and further based at least in part from the trip parameter data associated with the one or more trip parameters and the one or more parameter configurations associated with the at least a portion of each trip parameter; and

    providing for display, by the one or more computing devices, the trip trajectory data and the trip parameter data on a map of a geographic area including one or more locations defined by the location data associated with the one or more vehicle trips, the one or more locations defined by the location data provided for display on the map of the geographic area including the first trajectory portion, the second trajectory portion, and/or the third trajectory portion; and

    identifying a cost-savings measure associated with an aircraft taxiing protocol at least in part using the trip trajectory data and the trip parameter data provided for display on the map of the geographic area, the cost savings measure corresponding to employing engine-off taxiing;

    wherein the one or more parameter configurations comprise a mapping formula for mapping values for the one or more trip parameters to a visual spectrum.
