System and method for providing vehicle and fleet profiles and presentations of trends
First Claim
1. A computer system including one or more computer processors, a computer readable storage medium including computer code, and at least one storage device in which is stored GPS data for a plurality of vehicles, the system comprising:
- a memory including a GPS event database including GPS event data transmitted from a plurality of GPS devices, each GPS device associated with a vehicle, and stored over a period of time; and
the one or more processors programmed at least to;
receive the GPS event data;
store the GPS event data, for each vehicle, over a period of time of at least one month in the GPS event database operatively coupled to at least one of the one or more processors;
analyze the GPS event data to derive a plurality of operational metrics for each of the plurality of vehicles;
identify at least one trend for at least one operational metric extrapolated from the stored GPS event data;
identify at least one industry benchmark derived from industry data;
provide, for a graphic user interface, a representation including a comparison of the at least one trend from the GPS event data against the at least one industry benchmark, and wherein the one or more processors are further programmed at least to;
identify a trend for a given operational metric for a first time period of the given operational metric, the given operational metric being derived from the GPS event data,provide for setting, based on the trend for the given operational metric for the first time period, a criterion for the given operational metric;
identify a trend for the given operational metric for a second time period of the given operational metric, the second time period ending following the setting of the criterion,compare the trend for the given operational metric for the first time period against the trend for the given operational metric for the second time period to identify a change of performance for the trend for the given operational metric; and
determine if the change of performance for the trend for the given operational metric meets the criterion.

Abstract
A computer system and products and methods therefor including at least one computer processor and computer readable storage medium or media including computer code and at least one storage device in which is stored GPS data for a plurality of vehicles the system including: a memory including a GPS event database including GPS event data transmitted from a plurality of GPS devices. The GPS event data is analyzed to derive a plurality of operational metrics for each of a plurality of vehicles. At least one trend for a GPS event history using the GPS event data is identified and a graphic user interface is provided with a representation including a representation of the at least one trend.
