ABSTRACT:
An apparatus, system, and method are disclosed for improving engine development. Engine development is improved by equipping a vehicle with a data logger to collect engine performance data, automatically retrieving the data via a secure local wireless network, uploading the data to an enterprise communication server via a secure wide area network, and analyzing the data. The vehicles and vehicle depot may be equipped with WAPs. The wide area network may comprise a VPN over the internet. In certain embodiments, the secure local wireless network is only accessible to wireless devices with registered MAC addresses.
