A method to identify real time predictive indicators of operational vehicle component status comprising:
- accessing at least one record of operational component data, said operational component data including operational values from at least one vehicle component from at least one vehicle, said operational values representative of an operational life cycle use of said at least one vehicle component, said operational values further based upon a measured component event,
- accessing at least one record of management event data, said management event data containing at least one vehicle component event data point for at least one vehicle,
- associating said at least one record of operational component data with said at least one record of management event data,
- filtering said operational component data,
- deriving from said operational component data at least one signal representative of said measured component event, and
- comparing filtered operational component data and at least one signal prior to said vehicle component event data point with filtered operational component data and at least one signal post said vehicle component event data point thereby identifying real time predictive indicators of operational vehicle component status for real time use in fleet management.

A system to identify parameters indicative of a vehicle component status comprising:
- a telematics hardware device including a processor, memory, firmware and communications capability, and
- a remote device including a processor, memory, software and communications capability,
- said telematics hardware device monitoring at least one vehicle component from at least on vehicle and logging operational component data of said at least one vehicle component, said telematics hardware device communicating a log of operational component data to the remote device,
- said remote device accessing at least one record of operational component data, said operational component data including operational values from at least one vehicle component from at least one vehicle, said operational values representative of an operational life cycle use of said at least one vehicle component, said operational values further based upon a measured component event,
- said remote device further accessing at least one record of management event data, said management event data containing at least one vehicle component event data point for at least one vehicle,
- said remote device associating said at least one record of operational component data with said at least one record of management event data,
- said remote device filtering said operational component data and deriving from said operational component data at least one signal representative of said measured component event, and
- said remote device comparing filtered operational component data and at least one signal prior to said vehicle component event data point with filtered operational component data and at least one signal post said vehicle component event data point thereby identifying real time predictive indicators of operational vehicle component status for real time use in fleet management.
