Abstract:
A transportation vehicle (TV) remote data storage system increases the survivability, the ability to retrieve and to create a more comprehensive and larger TV's data set than that is saved by a TV's black box by having the real time assembled data saved in a safe and secure site. The TV data storage system of the present invention is a remote data storage system to be used onboard aircraft, automobiles, trains, water transportation vehicles, etc., which has usages in three modes: (i) Mode 1, as a remote back up black box to a TV's installed black box; (ii) Mode 2, as an offsite black box when an in-TV black box is not installed; and (iii) Mode 3, as an offsite black box when more data is required to be saved off site than what is saved in the TV's black box.
