AUTOMATED MAINTENANCE CHECKING SYSTEM

摘要

A system is disclosed for automatically identifying vehicles, assimilating data from an identified vehicle, correlating the data with predetermined data and providing a statement of account indicative of a transaction involving the vehicle. The system also provides a service record of the vehicle for use in connection with the transaction. For example, in a car rental environment, the service report is utilized by an attendant to determine if such service items as refilling the fuel tank are necessary. Primarily, data for the service record is provided by sensors located on-board the vehicle. The sensor data may be supplemented by data inputted via a keyboard located on-board the vehicle.
