Computer-Implemented Methods and Systems for Determining Fleet Conditions and Operational Management Thereof
First Claim
1. A method for determining fleet conditions and operational management thereof, wherein said method is performed by a central system having at least one computing device including a processor and a memory device coupled to the processor, said method comprising:
- receiving fleet data at the central system from at least one distributed data repository, the fleet data substantially representative of information associated with a fleet of physical assets;
processing, at the central system, the received fleet data for the fleet of physical assets using at least one process of a plurality of processes, the plurality of processes assessing the received fleet data into processed fleet data;
determining, at the central system, a fleet condition status using the processed fleet data and the at least one process of the plurality of processes;
generating, at the central system, a fleet response that is substantially representative of a next operational step for the fleet of physical assets; and
transmitting the fleet response to at least one of a plurality of fleet response recipients.

Abstract
A method for determining fleet conditions and operational management thereof, performed by a central system includes receiving fleet data from at least one distributed data repository. The fleet data is substantially representative of information associated with a fleet of physical assets. The method also includes processing the received fleet data for the fleet using at least one process of a plurality of processes. The plurality of processes assess the received fleet data into processed fleet data. The method additionally includes determining a fleet condition status using the processed fleet data and the at least one process of the plurality of processes. The method further includes generating a fleet response. The fleet response is substantially representative of a next operational step for the fleet of physical assets. The method also includes transmitting the fleet response to at least one of a plurality of fleet response recipients.
