Methods and systems for automatic vehicle maintenance scheduling

A system for automatic vehicle maintenance scheduling, the system comprising:

• one or more internal data storage devices for storing instructions;
• one or more processors operatively coupled to the one or more internal data storage device;
• the one or more processors being configured by the instructions to:
• obtain an acceleration data at a fixed sampling rate of a moving vehicle;
• process the obtained acceleration data to generate jerk energy values at predetermined intervals when the moving vehicle attains at least a pre-determined speed for a pre-determined time from start of the moving vehicle;
• compute speed normalized kinematic jerk values based on an average of the generated jerk energy values and average speed of the moving vehicle;
• compute a relationship between journey number and the computed speed kinematic normalized jerk values;
• compute a vehicle maintenance indicator based on the computed relationship between the journey number and the computed speed normalized kinematic jerk values;
• queue the obtained acceleration data to form a data queue and initiate a data thread;
• correct an orientation in a vertical axis direction of the moving vehicle to calculate variation in the vertical axis direction of a vehicle coordinate system;
• and
• schedule the vehicle maintenance when the computed vehicle maintenance indicator is greater than a pre-determined threshold.
