(57) ABSTRACT

Software applications that retrieve, log, and communicate vehicle-related data are implemented within a system that includes a plurality of vehicles, a worldwide network, at least one web server, at least one database server, and a plurality of internet-enabled back-end devices. Each vehicle has at least one intemet-enabled front-end device, which is communica bly coupled to the vehicle’s computer system access device. The intemet-enabled front-end device of each vehicle retrieves the vehicle-related data through a software applica tion, which is also used to send the vehicle-related data to the web server. The web server collects data from each vehicle and properly organizes and stores the data on the database server. The web server and the database service implements a system software to manage and process the data from each vehicle. Once the system software processes the data, the internet-enabled back-end devices can access the data through external applications or information systems.

A plurality of Applications or Information Systems developed by a plurality

of companies retrieve authorized vehicle

related data in standardized human understandable

format (unit of measure) P6. DATA RETRIEVAL PROCESS
