Vehicle communication, analysis and operation system
First Claim
1. A vehicle communication, analysis and operation system for managing vehicles and optimizing vehicle performance, comprising:
- a) a wireless network;
b) at least one database server in communication with said wireless network, said database server comprising a multi tiered database;
c) at least one vehicle capable of communicating with said wireless network, said at least one vehicle including an on-board vehicle data system having an at least one memory unit, a central processing unit in communication with said at least one memory unit, a transceiver for communicating with said wireless network, a digital display, and at least one vehicle performance sensor;
d) said on-board vehicle memory unit configured to store a first data processing module having instructions to configure the central processing unit to collect, store and analyze data from said at least one vehicle performance sensor; and
e) said on-board vehicle memory unit configured to store a rule based analysis system and a second data processing module having instructions to configure the central processing unit to employ inputs from said at least one vehicle performance sensor and correlation with analysis techniques such that said rule based analysis system manages data operations of said vehicle and when said vehicle is in communication with said wireless network, said vehicle can also manage said data operations of said vehicle based on real-time, historical and predictive knowledge, without all data processing occurring on-board said vehicle.

Abstract
A communication and analysis system can manage data operations with a vehicle centric system. A vehicle that is in a communications link with a network can also manage its activities based on real-time, historical and predictive knowledge, without having this knowledge processing on-board. Such data processing includes the geo-spatial, internal functions and operator specific requirements. The rule based system also incorporates the use patterns of a specific vehicle, or a specific user. A use pattern can be transferred from one operator to another or be shared to assist with navigation and operations. A vehicle operator or vehicle multiple operators can share or upload information that can assist with efficient operations, including fuel conservation and time management. Use patterns can be assigned to geospatial regions and be used for comparative analysis for such activities as efficient operation, safe travel and navigation.
