United States Patent 6,301,531
Pierro ,   et al.  
Vehicle maintenance management system and method

Abstract

An apparatus and method of predicting vehicle breakdown and operability includes monitoring at a monitoring station on-board systems parameter data transmitted from a vehicle from a remote location; determining whether any of the monitored data is out of a predetermined range; calculating trends for monitored data determined to be out of range; identifying any system fault; and predicting what vehicle system(s) must be corrected to avoid vehicle failure and when such system(s) are likely to fail unless corrected.
