Patent attributes
Automatic classifying vehicles by vocation and benchmarking vehicle performance relative to other vehicles of the same vocation are disclosed. Vehicles having a same vocation relative to each other and independent of vehicle fleet, industry vehicle application and vehicle type are benchmarked. Historical vehicle data that includes recurring vehicle usage data is stored. Using a learned trained classifier for each vehicle of the plurality of vehicles, a predicted vocation based on vehicle usage data may be obtained. A grouping based on the predicted vocations and the historical vehicle data is made. A determination from the benchmarked vehicles having better performance characteristics than other vehicles of the same predicted vocations is made. Performance of the other vehicles relative to benchmarking vehicles is made.
