METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR REMOTELY MONITORING AND CONTROLLING A VEHICLE VIA A VIRTUAL ENVIRONMENT
First Claim
1. A method for remotely monitoring and controlling a vehicle, the method comprising:
- establishing a first model of a work area representative of the real world;
collecting data on a second model of the work area via one or more sensors associated with the vehicle;
determining a material discrepancy between the first model and the second model;
transmitting the material discrepancy to a user remotely separated from the vehicle; and
displaying data from the first model, the second model and the material discrepancy to a user for resolution or classification of the discrepancy.

Abstract
A method and system for remotely monitoring and controlling a vehicle comprises a remote user interface for establishing a first model of a work area representative of the real world or an environment around the vehicle. Sensors collect data on a second model of the work area. Each of the sensors is associated with the vehicle. An evaluator determines a material discrepancy between the first model and the second model. A transmitter transmits the material discrepancy to a user remotely separated from the vehicle. A display module displays data from at least one of the first model, the second model and the material discrepancy to a user for resolution or classification of the discrepancy.
