Methods and systems of using vehicle system data to improve the operation of off-road vehicles

A method of operating a fleet of off-road vehicles, comprising:

• collecting sensor data from the off-road vehicles, the sensor data being related to the operation of a plurality of vehicle systems;
• combining sensor data from the vehicle systems in accordance with a user-defined event;
• determining whether the collected and combined sensor data are within or without defined limits of the user-defined event;
• producing an alarm signal for a user when the collected and combined sensor data are without the defined limits of the user-defined event;
• and
• modifying the operation of vehicles for which an alarm signal has been produced.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having computer-executable instructions embodied thereon that, when executed by at least one computer processor cause the processor to:

• collect sensor data from the off-road vehicles, the sensor data being related to the operation of a plurality of vehicle systems;
• combine sensor data from the vehicle systems in accordance with a user-defined event;
• determine whether the collected and combined sensor data are within or without defined limits of the user-defined event;
• produce an alarm signal for a user when the collected and combined sensor data are without the defined limits of the user-defined event;
• and
• recommend modification of the operation of vehicles for which an alarm signal has been produced.

A system for operating a fleet of off-road vehicles, comprising:

• a network;
• a plurality of sensors operatively associated with the fleet of off-road vehicles, said plurality of sensors sensing information related to the operation of a plurality of off-road vehicle systems, said plurality of sensors being operatively connected to said network;
• a processing system operatively connected to said network, said processing system being configured to:
• collect sensor data from the off-road vehicles, the sensor data being related to the operation of a plurality of vehicle systems;
• combine sensor data from the vehicle systems in accordance with a user-defined event;
• determine whether the collected and combined sensor data are within or without defined limits of the user-defined event;
• produce an alarm signal for a user when the collected and combined sensor data are without the defined limits of the user-defined event;
• and
• recommend modification of the operation of vehicles for which an alarm signal has been produced;
• and
• a display system operatively associated with said processing system, said processing system displaying on said display system at least information relating to the recommended modification.
