Abstract
In an example, there is disclosed a smart sensor for monitoring a vehicle, including: a sensor array comprising a mechanical input sensor; a network interface; a processor; and one or more logic elements providing a data engine to: collect an vibration input from the mechanical input sensor; and report the data from the mechanical input sensor to a data aggregator via the network interface. There is also disclosed a data aggregation server engine to aggregate and correlate inputs from the smart sensor.
Claims25
A fleet health monitoring server, comprising:
- a network interface configured to communicatively couple the apparatus to a sensor network of mechanical or acoustic sensors attached to vehicles of a fleet of similar vehicles;
- a data store comprising a sensor input profile for vehicles of the fleet, the input profile comprising an aggregation of crowd-sourced sensor inputs into a normal behavior model of the mechanical or acoustic sensors of the sensor network;
- and
- one or more logic elements comprising a data aggregator engine to:
- receive an input from a mechanical or acoustic sensor of the sensor network;
- and
- incorporate the input into an input profile associated with the vehicles of the fleet.
One or more tangible, non-transitory computer-readable storage mediums having stored thereon executable instructions to instruct a processor to:
- access a network interface configured to communicatively couple the processor to a sensor network of mechanical or acoustic sensors attached to vehicles of a fleet of similar vehicles;
- provide a data store comprising a sensor input profile for vehicles of the fleet, the input profile comprising an aggregation of crowd-sourced sensor inputs into a normal behavior model of the mechanical or acoustic sensors of the sensor network;
- and
- provide a data aggregator engine to:
- receive an input from a mechanical or acoustic sensor of the sensor network;
- and
- incorporate the input into an input profile associated with the vehicles of the fleet.
A computer-implemented method, comprising:
- accessing a network interface configured to communicatively couple an apparatus to a sensor network of mechanical or acoustic sensors attached to vehicles of a fleet of similar vehicles;
- providing a data store comprising a sensor input profile for vehicles of the fleet, the input profile comprising an aggregation of crowd-sourced sensor inputs into a normal behavior model of the mechanical or acoustic sensors of the sensor network;
- and
- receiving an input from a mechanical or acoustic sensor of the sensor network;
- and
- incorporating the input into an input profile associated with the vehicles of the fleet.
