System and method for performing real-time data analysis

A computer program product for performing data monitoring and analysis, the computer program product being encoded on one or more machine-readable storage media and comprising:

• instruction for establishing communication connections with a plurality of vehicle information systems installed aboard respective passenger vehicles associated with a vehicle fleet;
• instruction for receiving performance data accumulated by the vehicle information systems via the communication connections;
• instruction for validating the received performance data;
• instruction for parsing the validated performance data;
• instruction for consolidating the parsed performance data for the vehicle fleet;
• instruction for applying the consolidated performance data to generate an aggregate report for the vehicle information systems;
• and
• instruction for applying selected subsets of the consolidated performance data to generate at least one lower-level report for analyzing a performance aspect of the vehicle information systems,
• wherein the performance data accumulated by the fleet is presented in real-time for facilitating onsite maintenance as needed.

A system for performing data monitoring and analysis, comprising:

• a loadscript system, comprising at least one processor, for establishing communication connections with a plurality of vehicle information systems installed aboard respective passenger vehicles associated with a vehicle fleet, said loadscript system receiving, validating, and parsing performance data accumulated by the vehicle information systems via the communication connections;
• and
• a database system for consolidating the parsed performance data for the vehicle fleet, said database system applying the consolidated performance data to generate an aggregate report for the vehicle information systems and applying selected subsets of the consolidated performance data to generate at least one lower-level report for analyzing a performance aspect of the vehicle information systems,
• wherein the performance data accumulated by the fleet is presented in real-time for facilitating onsite maintenance as needed.
