1. A monitoring station comprising:
- a communication interface for communication with a plurality of monitoring devices each device arranged to monitor an operational parameter of a mobile asset; and
,a processor coupled to the communication interface to receive a first operational parameter associated with a first asset and a second operational parameter associated with a second asset;
wherein the processor is configured to determine a maintenance requirement of the first asset based on the first operational parameter; and
to select a maintenance action for the second asset based on the maintenance requirement of the first asset and the second operational parameter.

6. A method of scheduling maintenance of a plurality of assets at a respective asset location, the method comprising:
-
receiving respective asset operational parameters from the plurality of assets at a remote monitoring system;
receiving respective asset identifiers, obtaining position information and determining a likely maintenance requirement for at least one asset based on the operational parameters; andscheduling maintenance actions for one of the plurality of assets based on a maintenance requirement of at least one other asset of the plurality of assets and the position information. - View Dependent Claims (7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14)
