Mobile asset data management system
First Claim
1. A system for managing data associated with mobile assets in real time, the system comprising:
- a first asset monitor coupled to a first mobile asset for collecting monitored data associated with the first mobile asset in real time;
a user input device for receiving input data from a user;
a data storage device for storing the monitored data and the input data;
a mobile wireless transceiver for transmitting data to a management computer; and
a mobile asset processor adapted to;
determine that an event associated with the first mobile asset has initiated;
receive the collected data associated with the event from the first asset monitor;
determine that the event has completed; and
store the collected data to the data storage device.

Abstract
A computerized vehicle control system, method, and device for managing data associated with mobile assets (e.g., vehicles) in real time. The system is adapted to manage data associated with mobile assets in real time. The system includes a monitor coupled to the mobile asset for collecting data, a user input device, a storage device, a transceiver for transmitting to a computer, and a processing device for storing the collected data. The method captures data in real time associated with a mobile asset event, and includes determining that an event associated with a mobile asset initiated; collecting data in real time associated with the event; determining that the event completed; and transmitting the collected data to a central computer. The device limits the functionality in real time of a mobile asset capable of performing a plurality of mobile asset functions, and includes an asset monitor, a transceiver, and a processing device.

47. A mobile asset control device for limiting the functionality of a mobile asset capable of performing a plurality of mobile asset functions comprising:
-
an asset monitor coupled to a first mobile asset for collecting monitored data associated with the first mobile asset;
a mobile wireless transceiver for interfacing to a management computer; and
a mobile asset processor adapted to;
receive the monitored data from the asset monitor;
determine that a first mobile asset function of the plurality of mobile asset functions should be limited; and
limit operation of the first mobile asset function in real time. - View Dependent Claims (48, 49, 50, 51, 52, 53, 54, 55, 56)
