System and method for vehicle-reservation reliability prognosis

A method to implement a vehicle-reservation reliability prognosis prior to a reservation, the method comprising:

• providing a memory configured to comprise one or more executable instructions, the memory further configured to comprise one or more vehicle-share records;
• providing a controller configured to execute the executable instructions, the controller further configured to communicate with the vehicle-share records;
• providing a vehicle comprising one or more vehicle systems configured to generate system function information, the vehicle configured to communicate with the controller;
• receiving, via the controller, a vehicle system verification alert, wherein the vehicle system verification alert indicates that retrieval activation is to occur between completion of a first reservation and beginning of a second reservation, at some time duration after a previous vehicle-reservation reliability prognosis, when the vehicle engine is shut down at a different vehicle location, when an anomaly is determined to have occurred in the first reservation, or upon a demand;
• retrieving, via the controller, system function information from one or more vehicle systems of the vehicle based, at least in part, on the vehicle system verification alert;
• delivering, via the controller, the vehicle-reservation reliability prognosis based, at least in part, on the system function information;
• and
• modifying, via the controller, the vehicle-share records based upon the vehicle-reservation reliability prognosis.

A method to implement a vehicle-reservation reliability prognosis prior to a reservation window of operation, the method comprising:

• providing a memory configured to comprise one or more executable instructions, the memory further configured to comprise one or more vehicle-share records;
• providing a controller configured to execute the executable instructions, the controller further configured to communicate with the vehicle-share records and a service provider, wherein the service provider is a fleet manager or a field service technician;
• providing a vehicle comprising one or more vehicle systems configured to generate system function information, the vehicle configured to communicate with the controller;
• receiving, via the controller, a vehicle system verification alert, wherein the vehicle system alert indicates that retrieval activation is to occur between completion of a first reservation and beginning of a second reservation, at some time duration after a previous vehicle-reservation reliability prognosis, when the vehicle engine is shut down at a different vehicle location, when an anomaly is determined to have occurred in the first reservation, or upon a demand;
• retrieving, via the controller, system function information from one or more vehicle systems of the vehicle based, at least in part, on the vehicle system verification information, wherein the system function information incorporates location information from a GPS component, State of Charge information from a vehicle battery, immobilization health data from the vehicle immobilization module, vehicle health data and/or vehicle fuel data from an engine control module (ECM), vehicle body data from a body control module (BCM), module health information from a passive entry passive start module (PEPS), and wireless health information from either a cellular component or wireless modem or both the cellular component and wireless modem;
• delivering, via the controller, the vehicle-reservation reliability prognosis based, at least in part, on the system function information;
• modifying, via the controller, the vehicle-share records when the vehicle-reservation reliability prognosis results in an unavailable status for the vehicle, wherein the modification of the vehicle-share records comprises generating new vehicle assignment information associated with a vehicle reservation account and providing an unavailable status indicator to one or more of the vehicle-share vehicle records and reservation profile records;
• generating, via the controller, a notification based, at least in part, on the vehicle-reservation reliability prognosis;
• and
• communicating, via the controller, the notification to the service provider.
