1. A computer-implemented method of monitoring a vehicle, the method comprising:
- receiving, with an input module, a vehicle identifier associated with a vehicle to be monitored;
receiving, with the input module, at least one attribute of the monitored vehicle;
gathering, with a filter module, information related to the vehicle and the attribute based at least partly on the vehicle identifier;
updating, with the filter module, the gathered information related to the vehicle and the attribute;
predicting, with a record estimator, future changes in the attribute based on at least a subset of the gathered and updated information related to the vehicle and the attribute; and
generating an alert when a vehicle score is likely to change due to the predicted changes in the attribute, wherein the vehicle score represents a likelihood of the vehicle being in operation during a time period.

Abstract
One embodiment of the system and method described herein provides a vehicle monitoring system that gathers reported data on a selected vehicle and alerts a user to selected events reported for that vehicle. In an embodiment, vehicle attributes are processed into a score for the vehicle, such as representing the likely life remaining, and changes in a score trigger alerts to the user.

10. A system for monitoring a vehicle comprising:
-
an input module configured to receive a vehicle identifier associated with a vehicle to be monitored, wherein the input module is further configured to receive at least one attribute of the monitored vehicle; a filter module configured to gather information related to the vehicle and the attribute based at least partly on the vehicle identifier; the filter module further configured to update the gathered information related to the vehicle and the attribute; a record estimator configured to predict future changes in the attribute based on at least a subset of the gathered and updated information related to the vehicle and the attribute; and an alert generator configured to generate an alert when a vehicle score is likely to change due to the predicted changes in the attribute, wherein the vehicle score represents a likelihood of the vehicle being in operation during a time period. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18)
