Computerized method and system for guiding service personnel to select a preferred work site for servicing transportation equipment

This invention describes a computer system that helps service technicians fix equipment. It guides them through steps to diagnose problems and then suggests the best repair location, considering both technical needs and business factors. The claims specifically narrow this idea to servicing locomotive equipment across a network of connected repair sites, which can include independently owned businesses.

Why it matters: Filed before widespread mobile internet and cloud computing. Modern connectivity, scalable cloud platforms, and advanced analytics make integrating diverse locomotive service sites and providing real-time guidance far more feasible today.

Status: Not in forceListed as no longer active. The specific reason is not in the record we hold.
How hard to build: SpecializedSoftware logic, database, user interface, networking
