`ABSTRACT
`
`An apparanis is provided for diagnosing the state of health of
`a vehicle and for providing the operator ofthe vehicle with a
`substantialiy real-time indication of the efficiency 01‘ the
`vehicle in performing an assigned task with respect to a
`predetermined goal. A processor Oil-board the vehicle moni—
`tors sensors tiiat 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 [or 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.

`
`TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION
`
`The invention generally relates to the identification of
`anomalies in the operation of a vehicle and. more particularly.
`to the collection and analysis of data derived during operation
`of a vehicle that provides a basis for diagnosing the cause of
`anomalies in the vehicle’s operation.
`
`BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
`
`All vehicles today have various sensors for identifying and
`tracking critical “vital signs" of a vehicle. In their simplest
`form. these sensors include an oil pressure gauge. a water
`temperature gauge and an electrical system charging/dis-
`charging gauge. In more sophisticated vehicle s
