Abstract
A method for monitoring performance of at least one component on a moving platform, the method including receiving sensor data for the at least one component, along with supplemental data, at a processing node; and processing the sensor data, the processing using the supplemental data to filter the sensor data.
Claims17
A method at a server for maintenance scheduling for a moving platform, the method comprising:
- receiving sensor data for the at least one component of the moving platform, along with supplemental data associated with the moving platform, at the server;
- obtaining supplemental data, the supplemental data comprising at least one of:
- a location fix, a time stamp, an image from a camera on the moving platform, a temperature, a pressure, weather conditions, map information, historic data from the moving platform, historic data from a different moving platform, or load information;
- determining a road surface based on supplemental data, the road surface indicating whether a road is paved or not paved;
- processing the sensor data, the processing using the road surface to filter the sensor data;
- and
- updating a maintenance schedule based on the processing;
- wherein the processing detects an improvement in the performance of the at least one component from the sensor data indicating maintenance has been performed on the at least one component, and wherein the updating reschedules future maintenance of the at least one component based on the detection of the improvement.
A server for maintenance scheduling for a moving platform, the server comprising:
- a processor;
- and
- a communications subsystem,
- wherein the processor is configured to:
- receive sensor data for the at least one component of the moving platform, along with supplemental data associated with the moving platform;
- obtain supplemental data, the supplemental data comprising at least one of:
- a location fix, a time stamp, an image from a camera on the moving platform, a temperature, a pressure, weather conditions, map information, historic data from the moving platform, historic data from a different moving platform, or load information;
- determine a road surface based on supplemental data, the road surface indicating whether a road is paved or not paved;
- process the sensor data, the processing using the road surface to filter the sensor data;
- and
- update a maintenance schedule based on the processing;
- wherein the processing detects an improvement in the performance of the at least one component from the sensor data indicating maintenance has been performed on the at least one component, and wherein the updating reschedules future maintenance of the at least one component based on the detection of the improvement.
A non-transitory computer readable medium for storing instruction code, which, when executed by a processor on a server are configured for maintenance scheduling for a moving platform, the instruction code causing the processor to:
- receive sensor data for the at least one component of the moving platform, along with supplemental data associated with the moving platform;
- obtain supplemental data, the supplemental data comprising at least one of:
- a location fix, a time stamp, an image from a camera on the moving platform, a temperature, a pressure, weather conditions, map information, historic data from the moving platform, historic data from a different moving platform, or load information;
- determine a road surface based on supplemental data, the road surface indicating whether a road is paved or not paved;
- process the sensor data, the processing using the road surface to filter the sensor data;
- and
- update a maintenance schedule based on the processing;
- wherein the processing detects an improvement in the performance of the at least one component from the sensor data indicating maintenance has been performed on the at least one component, and wherein the updating reschedules future maintenance of the at least one component based on the detection of the improvement.
