SYSTEMS, ARTICLE AND METHODS FOR MANAGING VEHICLE LOGISTICS INCLUDING AUTHORED CONTENT GENERATION, APPROVAL, AND DISTRIBUTION

摘要

A system for managing vehicle logistics including authored content generation, approval, and distribution to remote user portable devices can include one or more back-end systems to process and track authored content through a content approval process and distribute authored content to the portable devices based upon one or more parameters. Such parameters may include one or more vehicle makes and/or models logically associated with the portable device. The system may include an auditing system to ensure the most recent authored content is present on a user's portable device. The system may further include data collection and diagnostics system able to provide maintenance or repair instructions based on reported vehicle data. A parts and materials inventory logistics system and a vehicle deployment system may ensure prompt delivery of parts and materials to repair locations and ensure prompt delivery of replacement vehicles for unrepairable or out-of-service vehicles.

1. A vehicle operation computer device, comprising:
a control subsystem including at least one processor and at least one nontransitory processor-readable medium communicatively coupled to the at least one processor; a user interface subsystem communicatively coupled to the control subsystem, the user interface subsystem including at least one input device; and a communications subsystem communicatively coupled to the control subsystem, the communications subsystem operable to selectively provide communications with at least one external device, the control subsystem causes the user interface subsystem to provide at least one checklist which is specific to a make and model of the vehicle, stores information received via the checklist and the user interface subsystem, and the communications subsystem selectively transmits the stored information logically associated with a unique vehicle identifier that uniquely identifies the vehicle.
