Vehicle system for varied compliance benefits
First Claim
1. A method for managing vehicle operational mode data, comprising:
- determining a compliance state for a vehicle traveling via a particular route or area and/or traveling during a temporal travel period which are subject to a given administrative standard, wherein the compliance state corresponds to an accrued benefit pursuant to the given administrative standard;
providing user-access to information regarding a preferred consequential result that is different from the accrued benefit, which preferred consequential result correlates with one or more optional vehicle operational modes;
accepting and implementing user-selection of at least one optional vehicle operational mode sufficient to attain the preferred consequential result; and
confirming implementation of the at least one optional vehicle operation mode based on updated vehicle operational mode data from a vehicle monitoring or detection device.

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 possible consequential result related to a user-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.

31. A computer program product comprising non-transitory computer-readable media having encoded instructions for executing a method for managing vehicle operational mode data, wherein the method includes:
-
determining a compliance state relative to a given administrative standard applicable to a vehicle traveling via a particular route or area and/or traveling during a temporal travel period, wherein the compliance state qualifies the vehicle for a corresponding accrued benefit pursuant to the given administrative standard; providing user-accessible information regarding a possible consequential result that correlates with one or more optional vehicle operation modes; accepting and implementing user-selection of at least one optional vehicle operational mode sufficient to attain the possible consequential result, wherein the possible consequential result is different from the corresponding accrued benefit; and confirming implementation of the at least one optional vehicle operation mode based on updated vehicle operational mode data from a vehicle monitoring or detection device. - View Dependent Claims (32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 47, 48, 49, 50, 51, 52, 53, 54, 55, 56, 57, 58, 59, 60)
