Methods and systems for vehicle recovery

A computer-readable medium having computer-executable instructions stored thereon that, when executed by a processing system of a cloud-based computing system, cause the processing system to:

• obtain status information from one or more systems onboard a vehicle, wherein the status information is indicative of a current state of the vehicle en route to a destination;
• for a respective salvage strategy of a plurality of salvage strategies:
• determine an alternative destination for the vehicle different from the destination based at least in part on the current state of the vehicle and one or more salvage criteria associated with the respective salvage strategy;
• determine an alternative route to the alternative destination based at least in part on the current state of the vehicle;
• and
• calculate one or more recovery performance metrics associated with the alternative route based at least in part on the current state of the vehicle;
• and
• provide graphical indicia of the respective one or more recovery performance metrics associated with the respective salvage strategies of the plurality of salvage strategies on a graphical user interface (GUI) display associated with the vehicle.

A cloud-based computing system comprising:

• a data storage element to maintain one or more salvage criteria associated with respective ones of a plurality of salvage strategies;
• and
• a processing system coupled to the data storage element to provide a monitoring service, wherein the monitoring service is configurable to:
• obtain status information indicative of a current state of a vehicle en route to a destination from one or more systems onboard the vehicle;
• for a respective salvage strategy of the plurality of salvage strategies:
• determine an alternative destination for the vehicle different from the destination based at least in part on the current state of the vehicle and the one or more salvage criteria associated with the respective salvage strategy;
• determine an alternative route to the alternative destination based at least in part on the current state of the vehicle;
• and
• calculate one or more recovery performance metrics associated with the alternative route based at least in part on the current state of the vehicle;
• and
• provide graphical indicia of the respective one or more recovery performance metrics associated with the respective salvage strategies of the plurality of salvage strategies on a graphical user interface (GUI) display associated with the vehicle.
