METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR MANAGING A MOBILE EQUIPMENT FLEET
First Claim
1. A computer-implemented method for managing a plurality of signals generated by onboard systems of a mobile equipment fleet, wherein each of the signals comprises equipment operating condition information associated with one of the mobile equipment items of the fleet, the method comprising the steps of:
- (a) storing in the memory a rules database comprising a plurality of rules, wherein each rule comprises a cause and an action associated with an equipment operating condition;
(b) continuously monitoring for and receiving the signals as transmitted by the onboard systems, via a communications network;
(c) for each of the received signals, taking a response step comprising the steps of;

Abstract
A computer-implemented method and a system for managing signals generated by onboard systems of a mobile equipment fleet, where each of the signals contain operating condition information associated with one of the items of the fleet. The system continuously receives the signals as transmitted by the onboard systems via a communications network. For each of the received signals, the system selects a rule from a rules database based on the equipment operating condition information in the received signal. The rule contains a cause and an action associated with an equipment operating condition. The system generates a report that includes the equipment operating condition, the cause and the action of the selected rule and transmits it to an operator device via the communications network.
