A system for assessing operating conditions for a vehicle includes. a power source and first and second sensors coupled to the power source and configured to generate corresponding first and second sensor signals indicative of first and second operating conditions of the vehicle. The second operating condition is indicative of an operating state of the vehicle. A transmitter is coupled to the power source and configured to transmit an informational signal responsive to the first sensor signal. A controller is configured to receive the second sensor signal, determine, responsive to the second sensor signal, whether the operating state of the vehicle meets a predetermined condition and then provide control signals to one or both of the first sensor and the transmitter to control the sampling rate of the first sensor and/or the transmission rate of the transmitter depending on whether the operating state meets the predetermined condition.
