Abstract
A fleet management system will receive, from each vehicle of a fleet of vehicles, a vehicle identification number (VIN). The system also will receive data elements that comprise: (a) vehicle operational parameters gathered during a run of the vehicle; (b) a hardware identification code that identifies a hardware component of the vehicle; and/or (c) a software identification code that identifies an installed software component in the vehicle. The processor will generate a data block that comprises the VIN and the one or more data elements. The processor will then save the data block to a shared digital ledger that includes VINs and data elements for a plurality of the vehicles in the fleet.
