Selective implementation of an optional vehicle mode
First Claim
1. A method for selective implementation of an operating parameter in a vehicle, comprising:
- storing information regarding a compliance state and its corresponding first benefit relative to a given administrative standard defining a predetermined vehicle operation mode applicable to a particular route or area;
obtaining access to information that identifies a preferred consequential result; and
implementing a configurable operating parameter in the vehicle during travel via the particular route or area in a manner to attain the identified preferred consequential result that is different from the first benefit, wherein the implemented configurable operating parameter modifies a conformity status of the given administrative standard.

Abstract
Exemplary methods, systems and components enable selective control of an operational mode for a vehicle that is subject to an administrative standard. In some instances a qualified person or entity may attain a preferred consequential result related to a selected vehicle operation mode that may involve a vehicle operation paradigm and/or a vehicle travel route and/or a vehicle travel destination. In some embodiments, implementation of the selected vehicle operation mode may modify a conformity status of the vehicle relative to the administrative standard. Various accessible records may be maintained regarding administrative compliance states and their respective benefits, as well as regarding certification of preferable consequential results available to qualified recipients based on a correlated vehicle operational mode.
