1. A method of analyzing transportation data, comprising the steps of:
- receiving, using a computer, a transportation data set including transportation data corresponding to at least one item, wherein the transportation data includes a plurality of transportation events each having a date and a time, and wherein the event symbols corresponding to each of the transportation events are placed in order of the time and the date at which each of the transportation events occurred;
converting, using the computer, a portion of the transportation data into an event string, the event string including a plurality of event symbols corresponding to a plurality of transportation events, wherein each of the plurality of event symbols corresponds to a single alphanumeric character;
selectively filtering, using the computer, the event string, according to a query, to produce a filtered event string; and
reporting the transportation data associated with the filtered event string.

Abstract
A system and method of analyzing transportation data includes receiving a transportation data set including transportation data corresponding to at least one item. A portion of the transportation data is converted into an event string, which includes a plurality of event symbols corresponding to a plurality of transportation events. The event string is selectively filtered according to a query to produce a filtered event string, and transportation data associated with the filtered event string may be reported.

4. A method of analyzing transportation data, comprising the steps of:
-
receiving, using a computer, a transportation data set including transportation data corresponding to at least one item; converting, using the computer, a portion of the transportation data into an event string, the event string including a plurality of event symbols corresponding to a plurality of transportation events, wherein each of the plurality of event symbols corresponds to a single alphanumeric character; assigning a first default type setting to event symbols corresponding to arrivals or departures; assigning a second type setting opposite the first type setting to event symbols corresponding to an arrival or a departure from an intermediate location within a location type; selectively filtering, using the computer, the event string according to a query to produce a filtered event string; and reporting the transportation data associated with the filtered event string.

6. A system for analyzing transportation data, comprising:
-
a transportation data set; and a computer including a microprocessor operable to convert a portion of the transportation data set into an event string including a plurality of event symbols, to selectively filter the event string in response to a query to produce a filtered event string, and to report the transportation data corresponding to the filtered event string, wherein each of the plurality of event symbols corresponds to a single alphanumeric character, wherein the filtered event string is representative of a subset of the transportation data set, and wherein a first default type setting is assigned to event symbols corresponding to arrivals and departures, and a second type setting opposite the first type setting is assigned to event symbols corresponding to an arrival or departure from an intermediate location within a location type. - View Dependent Claims (7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16)
