Method and system for visualizing performance indicators of onboard services provided during similar trips

An apparatus for visualizing performance indicators of onboard services provided during similar trips, the apparatus comprising:

• a processor,
• memory in electronic communications with the processor;
• and
• instructions stored in the memory and executable by the processor to cause the processor to perform:
• identifying one or more past trips, each of the one or more past trips having a past trip characteristic, of one or more characteristics, similar to a particular trip characteristic, of the one or more characteristics, of a particular trip;
• wherein the one or more characteristics comprise:
• an origin location, a departure time, a destination location, an arrival time, and a trip identifier;
• wherein the past trip characteristic of the past trip is similar to the particular trip characteristic of the particular trip when the past trip characteristic of the past trip is the same as the particular trip characteristic of the particular trip, or within a predetermined time period from the particular trip characteristic of the particular trip, or within a predetermined distance from the particular trip characteristic of the particular trip;
• obtaining a vehicle identifier used during each of the one or more past trips;
• obtaining status of one or more onboard services provided during each of the one or more past trips;
• generating first graphical interface data representing:
• a past trip header comprising labels for the past trip characteristic, the vehicle identifier, and the one or more onboard services;
• the past trip characteristic for each of the one or more past trips;
• the vehicle identifier used during each of the one or more past trips;
• an icon for each of the one or more past trips having a feature indicating the status of the one or more onboard services provided during the past trip;
• and
• an additional icon for the particular trip indicating status of the one or more onboard services provided during the particular trip;
• transmitting, to a display device, the first graphical interface data to cause the display device to:
• generate and display a past-trips-viewer that comprises:
• the past trip header;
• the past trip characteristic, the vehicle identifier and the icon for each of the one or more past trips arranged in rows under the past trip header;
• and
• generate and display a particular-trip-viewer that comprises the additional icon for the particular trip.

One or more non-transitory computer-readable storage media storing computer code for visualizing performance indicators of onboard services provided during similar trips, the computer code comprising instructions which, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform:

• identifying one or more past trips, each of the one or more past trips having a past trip characteristic, of one or more characteristics, similar to a particular trip characteristic, of the one or more characteristics, of a particular trip;
• wherein the one or more characteristics comprise:
• an origin location, a departure time, a destination location, an arrival time, and a trip identifier;
• wherein the past trip characteristic of the past trip is similar to the particular trip characteristic of the particular trip when the past trip characteristic of the past trip is the same as the particular trip characteristic of the particular trip, or within a predetermined time period from the particular trip characteristic of the particular trip, or within a predetermined distance from the particular trip characteristic of the particular trip;
• obtaining a vehicle identifier used during each of the one or more past trips;
• obtaining status of one or more onboard services provided during each of the one or more past trips;
• generating first graphical interface data representing:
• a past trip header comprising labels for the past trip characteristic, the vehicle identifier, and the one or more onboard services;
• the past trip characteristic for each of the one or more past trips;
• the vehicle identifier used during each of the one or more past trips;
• an icon for each of the one or more past trips having a feature indicating the status of the one or more onboard services provided during the past trip;
• and
• an additional icon for the particular trip indicating status of the one or more onboard services provided during the particular trip;
• transmitting, to a display device, the first graphical interface data to cause the display device to:
• generate and display a past-trips-viewer that comprises:
• the past trip header;
• the past trip characteristic, the vehicle identifier and the icon for each of the one or more past trips arranged in rows under the past trip header;
• and
• generate and display a particular-trip-viewer that comprises the additional icon for the particular trip.
