A method for failure analysis and warranty claim assessment, the method may include sensing sensed vehicle parameters by multiple vehicle sensors that include multiple types of sensors; calculating, by a vehicle monitor, based on the sensed vehicle parameters, parameters of multiple vehicle components; wherein the vehicle monitor is mechanically coupled to a vehicle or installed in the vehicle; determining, by the vehicle monitor and based on the parameters of the multiple vehicle components, whether the operation of the vehicle exceeds a warrantable operation of the vehicle; and evaluating, by the vehicle monitor and based on the parameters of the multiple vehicle components and by the vehicle monitor, whether a vehicle failure resulted from an operation of the vehicle that exceeds the warrantable operation of the vehicle or will result from the operation of the vehicle that exceeds the warrantable operation of the vehicle.

Systems and methods are disclosed for verifying a vehicle component. In various embodiments, a system for verifying a vehicle component may comprise a near-to-eye (NTE) display system that includes an NTE tracking controller, a controller communicatively coupled to the NTE tracking controller, and a component database communicatively coupled to the controller. The controller may be configured to receive component data from the component database and communicate the component data to the NTE tracking controller based upon focus data, where the focus data is based upon a head position of an operator.

This inspection assistance program for assisting inspection of a vehicle causes a computer to function as: a display control unit 272 that causes a display unit 25 to display a selection screen for selecting one inspection execution item from a plurality of inspection items; and a device control unit 273 that causes a device provided to the computer and associated with the inspection execution item selected on the selection screen to operate. When a liquid amount of a battery of the vehicle is selected as an inspection execution item on the selection screen, the device control unit 273 may turn on a light 22 as a device associated with the inspection execution item. The device control unit 273 may activate an imaging device 23 that generates an image as the device associated with the inspection execution item.

A materials handling vehicle technology monitor receives wirelessly, from a fleet of materials handling vehicles, electronic vehicle records. Each electronic vehicle record includes technology feature data recorded by a controller on an associated materials handling vehicle. Typically, the electronic vehicle record is generated in response to a corresponding technology feature on the materials handling vehicle being operated in a work environment. Moreover, each electronic vehicle record includes an operator identification of an operator of the materials handling vehicle at the time the technology feature data is recorded. The monitor also generates for each operator, an electronic measurement based upon a comparison of expected technology feature usage, e.g., a threshold, compared to the technology feature data in the received electronic vehicle records, which are associated with the corresponding operator. The process further comprises outputting to a dashboard, a graphical representation of the generated measurements.
