System and method for monitoring and predicting vehicle attributes

摘要

One embodiment of the system and method described herein provides a vehicle monitoring system that gathers reported data on a selected vehicle and alerts a user to selected events reported for that vehicle. In an embodiment, vehicle attributes are processed into a score for the vehicle, such as representing the likely life remaining, and changes in a score trigger alerts to the user.

1. A computer-implemented method of monitoring a vehicle, the method comprising:
receiving, with an input module, a vehicle identifier associated with a vehicle to be monitored; receiving, with the input module, at least one attribute of the monitored vehicle; gathering, with a filter module, information related to the vehicle and the attribute based at least partly on the vehicle identifier; updating, with the filter module, the gathered information related to the vehicle and the attribute; predicting, with a record estimator, future changes in the attribute based on at least a subset of the gathered and updated information related to the vehicle and the attribute; and generating an alert when a vehicle score is likely to change due to the predicted changes in the attribute, wherein the vehicle score represents a likelihood of the vehicle being in operation during a time period.
