`ABSTRACT
`
`An apparanis is provided for diagnosing the state of health of
`a vehicle and for providing the operator ofthe vehicle with a
`Substantially real-time indication of the ciiiciency ol‘ the
`vehicle in performing an assigned task with respect to it
`predetermined goal. A processor on-board the vehicle moni-
`tors sensors that provide infonnation regarding the state of
`health of the vehicle and the amount of work the vehicle has
`done. In response to anomalies in the data from the sensors.
`the processor records information that describes events lead-
`ing up to the occurrence ofthe anomaly for later analysis that
`can be used to diagnose the cause of the anomaly. The sensors
`are also used to prompt the operator of the vehicle to operate
`the vehicle at optimum etiiciency.
