SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR ASSESSING MOBILE ASSET EFFICIENCIES
First Claim
1. An asset management computer system for analyzing mobile asset movement within a work environment, said asset management computer system comprising:
- one or more memory storage areas; and
one or more processors in communication with said one or more memory storage areas;
wherein said one or more processors are, collectively, configured to;
receive operational data indicative of the location of at least one mobile asset within said work environment during one or more time periods;
compare said operational data to work area data defining one or more work areas, each of said work areas comprising an area within said work environment defined by a virtual perimeter;
segment said operational data into a plurality of position segments based at least in part on said comparison, each of said position segments representing a period of time classified according to the location of said at least one mobile asset in relation to said one or more work areas; and
determine, based on said operational data, one or more operational characteristics for each of said position segments.

Abstract
Various embodiments of the present invention are directed to an asset management computer system for assessing operational data indicative of the movement of one or more mobile assets within a work environment. The mobile assets may be, for example, employees, packages, or vehicles moving through a work environment. According to various embodiments, the asset management computer system may be configured for analyzing the operational data and segmenting it into a plurality of position segments representing periods of time classified according to the mobile asset'"'"'s position in relation to one or virtual work areas. In addition, the asset management computer system may be further configured to determine operational characteristics for each of the position segments, generate a graphical representation of the position segments, and provide operational statistics based on the position segments, which can be used to assess asset behavior and the efficiency of a work environment'"'"'s design.
