Claim One:
1. A multi-agent distributed data mining system for monitoring the performance of vehicles and drivers and fleets. The apparatus has the following components: a. Onboard Module for Data Stream Mining: This component monitors vehicle diagnostic data coming out of OBD/J1708/J1939 ports, GPS data, and accelerometer (also known as G-sensor data) and performs the following data stream mining tasks to generate onboard results (analytics): i. Onboard Data Stream Mining for detecting the effects of various engine parameters on fuel consumption. ii. Onboard Predictive Classification of Driving Patterns and Associative Indexing of Driver Performance Matrix. iii. Resource-constrained Anomaly Detection for Onboard Predictive Vehicle Health Monitoring. iv. Onboard Vehicle Emission Data Analysis. v. Automated Adaptive Algorithm Generation and Management. b. Web-based Presentation of the Results of Onboard Data Analysis and User-Interaction. This component allows presentation of the analytics to the user using a web-based interface. c. Onboard and remote-server-based techniques for advertising products and services that are triggered by the patterns identified by the vehicle data analysis. d. Pattern-driven Web-based and Onboard vehicle-to-vehicle social networking and collective computation.
