System and method for evaluating operation of a vehicle with respect to a plurality of environmental factors

摘要

A system installed with a vehicle for evaluating operation of the vehicle with respect to environmental factors includes: (a) operational sensors for sensing data relating to operational factors of the environmental factors; (b) an operational information store coupled with selected sensors for storing operational data received from the selected sensors relating to the operational factors; (c) an operational standards store for storing operational standards associated with operating the vehicle; (d) an operational standard compliance evaluation unit coupled with the information store and coupled with the standards store for effecting comparison of the operational data with the operational standards to ascertain an operational comparison result, and determining whether the vehicle complies with the standards based upon the comparison result; and (e) an operational report and store unit coupled with the compliance evaluation unit for receiving the operational determination and generating at least one report relating to the operational determination.

1. A system for evaluating a transportation operation with respect to a plurality of environmental factors; the system comprising:
a vehicle comprising:
a plurality of operational sensors installed with said vehicle for sensing data relating to a plurality of operational factors of said plurality of environmental factors;at least one operational information store coupled with selected operational sensors of said plurality of operational sensors and installed with said vehicle for storing operational data received from said selected operational sensors relating to said operational factors;an operational standards store installed with said vehicle for storing operational standards associated with operating said vehicle;an operational standard compliance evaluation unit coupled with said operational information store and coupled with said operational standards store; saidoperational standard compliance evaluation unit effecting comparison of said operational data with said operational standards to ascertain an operational comparison result; said operational standard compliance evaluation unit effecting an operational determination of whether said vehicle complies with said operational standards based upon said operational comparison result; andan operational corrective action identification unit located within said vehicle and coupled with said operational standard compliance evaluation unit and with an operational display unit; said operational corrective action identification unit presenting at least one recommended operational corrective action for correcting a failure to comply with at least one operational standard of said operational standards as indicated by said indication of said operational determination; a support facility configured to provide maintenance for said vehicle, said support facility comprising:
a plurality of support sensors installed at said support facility, said plurality of support sensors configured to sense data relating to a plurality of support factors of said plurality of environmental factors, wherein said plurality of support sensors comprise at least a ground support equipment parameter sensor, a repair shop sensor, a hanger sensor, and a trainer parameter sensor; and a single report and store unit that comprises an operational report and store unit and a support report and store unit, said operational report and store unit coupled with said operational standard compliance evaluation unit for receiving an indication of said operational determination, said operational report and store unit configured to generate at least one report relating to carbon credits based on said operational determination, wherein said operational report and store unit is at one of said vehicle and said support facility, said support report and store unit configured to generate at least one report related to a support determination based on data sensed by said plurality of support sensors.
