Fault diagnosis using distributed PCA architecture

A system for analyzing a health status of a component of a vehicle, comprising:

• a plurality of vehicles each having:
• an electronic device,
• a sensor configured to detect sensor data corresponding to at least one property of the electronic device,
• an output device configured to output data, and
• a vehicle network access device configured to transmit the sensor data of the electronic device;
• and
• a machine learning server separate from each of the plurality of vehicles and having a machine learning processor configured to:
• receive the sensor data of the electronic device for each of the plurality of vehicles,
• generate, using a machine learning algorithm, a model of the electronic device,
• determine that a fault is likely to occur with the electronic device of at least one of the plurality of vehicles by conducting a T squared statistical analysis of the sensor data using the model, and
• generate a signal to be transmitted to the vehicle network access device of the at least one of the plurality of vehicles when the fault is likely to occur such that the output device of the at least one of the plurality of vehicles outputs information indicating that the fault is likely to occur.

A method for analyzing a health status of a component of vehicles, comprising:

• detecting, by a sensor coupled to or positioned near an electronic device of a vehicle, sensor data corresponding to at least one property of the electronic device;
• transmitting, by a vehicle network access device of the vehicle, the sensor data of the electronic device;
• receiving, by a machine learning processor of a machine learning server being separate from the vehicle, the sensor data of the electronic device;
• generating, by the machine learning processor, a model of the electronic device;
• determining, by the machine learning processor, that a fault is likely to occur with the electronic device by conducting a T squared statistical analysis of the sensor data using the model;
• and
• outputting, by an output device of the vehicle, information indicating that the fault is likely to occur.
