System and method for transportation vehicle monitoring, feedback and control
First Claim
1. A method for monitoring operation of at least one transportation vehicle and generating information based on the monitored operation, the method comprising:
- monitoring at least one operation criterion of the transportation vehicle during operation of the transportation vehicle on the transportation vehicle;
storing data corresponding to the at least one transportation vehicle operation criterion in a first memory on the transportation vehicle;
transmitting the data corresponding to the at least one operation criterion from the transportation vehicle to a base-station;
comparing the transmitted data corresponding to the at least one operation criterion with at least one operation parameter;
transmitting feedback data to the at least one transportation vehicle based on the comparison between the monitored at least one operation criterion with the at least one operation parameter;
storing the data corresponding to the at least one transportation vehicle operation criterion in a second memory at the base-station; and
formulating archived scenario data from the data stored in the second memory at the base station that is configured to be used for vehicle operation.

Abstract
A system provides monitoring/feedback to a transportation vehicle regarding the state of that vehicle based on, at least, information provided by sensors located on or in the transportation vehicle. Monitoring the transportation vehicle provides information about the status of the transportation vehicle and equipment on or in the vehicle. Feedback information is provided to the transportation vehicle based on the information received during monitoring. Additionally, feedback information may be formulated based on additional criteria receiver from equipment other than the sensors located on or in the vehicle, for example, meteorological systems, geographic location systems, e.g., a radar system, a global positioning system, etc. The information provided by the sensors and the formulated feedback information may be stored in memory on the transportation vehicle as well as at a stable location for archiving and subsequent analysis.

77. A system for analyzing operation of at least one transportation vehicle and generating information based on the analyzed operation, the system comprising:
-
an on-vehicle component that is located on a transportation vehicle and monitors operation of the transportation vehicle; and
an off-vehicle component that is located off the transportation vehicle during monitoring of the transportation vehicle by the on-vehicle component, wherein, the on-vehicle component monitors at least one operation criterion of the transportation vehicle during operation of the transportation vehicle, and stores data corresponding to the at least one operation criterion, and wherein, subsequent to monitoring of the transportation vehicle operation, the on-vehicle component transfers the data corresponding to the at least one operation criterion to the off-vehicle component, and wherein, the off-vehicle component compares the transmitted data corresponding to the at least one operation criterion with at least one operation parameter and analyzes it, stores the transmitted data corresponding to the at least one transportation vehicle operation criterion and formulates archived scenario data from the stored data, the archived scenario data being configured to be used for vehicle operation. - View Dependent Claims (78, 79, 80, 81, 82, 83, 84, 85, 86)
