1. A system for data management of a plurality of target devices of at least one vehicle, comprising:
- at least one portable computer device configured for wireless connectivity to at least one network, the at least one portable computer device comprising at least one processor and at least one memory with program instructions thereon, that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the processor to;
(a) connect to the at least one network;
(b) identify at least one of the plurality of target devices of the at least one vehicle;
(c) at least one of;
(i) directly or indirectly receive at least a portion of data input to or output from at least one target device of the plurality of target devices, and (ii) directly or indirectly transmit data to at least one target device of the plurality of target devices; and
(d) display at least a portion of at least one of;
(i) the data input to or output from the at least one target device and (ii) the transmitted data, on at least one interface on the at least one portable computer device.

Abstract
System and computer-implemented methods and processes for data management of a plurality of target devices of a vehicle, the system including a portable computer device programmed for wireless connectivity to a network and data management activities and interaction with the target devices. The system and computer-implemented methods and processes are particularly useful in connection with trains having at least one locomotive, where the train includes multiple target devices, such as a train event recording system and the like.
