A method for processing and storing data from a mobile asset (148, 248) comprising: receiving, using a data recorder (154, 254) onboard the mobile asset (148, 248), data based on at least one data signal from at least one of: at least one data source (102, 104, 106, 108, 110, 112, 114, 116, 166, 168) onboard the mobile asset (148, 248); and at least one data source (124, 126, 164) remote from the mobile asset (148, 248); characterised by: encoding, using a data encoder (122, 222) of the data recorder (154, 254), a record comprising a bit stream based on the data; appending, using an onboard data manager (120, 220) of the data recorder (154, 254), the record to a record block; storing, using the onboard data manager (120, 220), the record block at a configurable first predetermined rate in at least one local memory component (118, 218) of the data recorder (154, 254) and a queueing repository (158, 258) of the data recorder (154, 254); replicating, using the onboard data manager (120, 220), the record block stored in the queueing repository (158, 258) to a remote data repository (130, 230) via a remote data manager (132, 232); and providing a user (152, 252) remote from the mobile asset (148, 248) with access to the record block from the remote data repository (130, 230) using a web client (142, 242) or a virtual reality device. receiving, using a data recorder (154, 254) onboard the mobile asset (148, 248), data based on at least one data signal from at least one of: at least one data source (102, 104, 106, 108, 110, 112, 114, 116, 166, 168) onboard the mobile asset (148, 248); and at least one data source (124, 126, 164) remote from the mobile asset (148, 248); at least one data source (102, 104, 106, 108, 110, 112, 114, 116, 166, 168) onboard the mobile asset (148, 248); and at least one data source (124, 126, 164) remote from the mobile asset (148, 248); characterised by: encoding, using a data encoder (122, 222) of the data recorder (154, 254), a record comprising a bit stream based on the data; appending, using an onboard data manager (120, 220) of the data recorder (154, 254), the record to a record block; storing, using the onboard data manager (120, 220), the record block at a configurable first predetermined rate in at least one local memory component (118, 218) of the data recorder (154, 254) and a queueing repository (158, 258) of the data recorder (154, 254); replicating, using the onboard data manager (120, 220), the record block stored in the queueing repository (158, 258) to a remote data repository (130, 230) via a remote data manager (132, 232); and providing a user (152, 252) remote from the mobile asset (148, 248) with access to the record block from the remote data repository (130, 230) using a web client (142, 242) or a virtual reality device. encoding, using a data encoder (122, 222) of the data recorder (154, 254), a record comprising a bit stream based on the data; appending, using an onboard data manager (120, 220) of the data recorder (154, 254), the record to a record block; storing, using the onboard data manager (120, 220), the record block at a configurable first predetermined rate in at least one local memory component (118, 218) of the data recorder (154, 254) and a queueing repository (158, 258) of the data recorder (154, 254); replicating, using the onboard data manager (120, 220), the record block stored in the queueing repository (158, 258) to a remote data repository (130, 230) via a remote data manager (132, 232); and providing a user (152, 252) remote from the mobile asset (148, 248) with access to the record block from the remote data repository (130, 230) using a web client (142, 242) or a virtual reality device.
