Claim:
A method, comprising: monitoring, by a processing device, data associated with an operating condition of a particular vehicle; updating, by the processing device, historic operational data associated with the particular vehicle based on the data associated with the operating condition of the particular vehicle; displaying, by the processing device, information designating one or more vehicle systems associated with the operating condition; receiving, by the processing device, a user selection of a vehicle system from the displayed information; retrieving, by the processing device, operational data associated with a different vehicle from a database, wherein the different vehicle is substantially similar to the particular vehicle; adjusting, by the processing device, the operational data associated with the different vehicle to account for differences in vehicle type between the particular vehicle and the different vehicle; comparing, by the processing device, the updated historic operational data with a predetermined maintenance standard associated with the different vehicle; revising the predetermined maintenance standard based, at least in part, on the adjusted operational data associated with the different vehicle; determining, by the processing device, whether the operating condition indicates a deviation in operation of the selected vehicle system from the adjusted operational data associated with the different vehicle based, at least in part, on comparing the updated historic operational data with the predetermined maintenance standard; and generating, by the processing device, a maintenance recommendation for the particular vehicle in response to determining the deviation in operation of the selected vehicle system.
