Abstract
A device includes a microprocessor and a computer readable medium coupled to the microprocessor. The computer readable medium includes instructions stored thereon that cause the microprocessor to receive output from at least one sensor monitoring a travel context of a vehicle and determine, based on the output received, a condition of the vehicle. The instructions cause the microprocessor to determine, based on the determined condition of the vehicle, modified driving operations to improve the operation of the vehicle. The instructions cause the microprocessor to construct a message describing the determined modified driving operations and communicate one or more modified driving operations to an operator for potential implementation.
