In this construction, the driver is prevented from finding it difficult to visually recognize a visible light pattern resulting from visible light beams radiated from the self-owned vehicle or another vehicle owing to sunlight or the like, and visual recognizability of the visible light pattern is enhanced.

The invention is generally related to operations support systems and more specifically, to a method of and system for deployed maintenance operations for equipment or assets. Existing web-based systems support organizations may be spread over large geographies, but only insofar as each part of that organization can remain fully-connected to the central server or data centre. The system described herein, on the other hand, allows portions of the organization to operate for long periods of time without a dedicated connection, while keeping technical records accurate. The system described herein allows a customer to set up a ‘deployed site’, which is effectively an environment that operates as a partial copy of the master site (which contains baseline data), and is only allowed to operate on a specific subset of the assets in the system (say, a fleet of aircraft). This deployed environment has all the required configuration and transactional data to run as a standalone system until the deployment is no longer required. At that time, the deployed site can be decommissioned by transferring the assets out to other sites, deployed or not.
