Systems and methods for distributed system state estimation

A system for distributed system state estimation, the system comprising:

• a processor;
• and
• a memory including instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to:
• receive, from each signal path of a plurality of signal paths associated with a computing system of a vehicle, a quality indicator and a partial redundancy classifier;
• generate, for each signal path of the plurality of signal paths, a communication interface qualifier and a system redundancy diagnostic status based on the quality indicator and the partial redundancy classifier;
• receive system availability information for at least one component associated with a respective signal path;
• determine, for the respective signal path, a redundancy topology classification and a redundancy state based on the system availability information for the at least one component associated with the respective signal path, the communication interface qualifier for the respective signal path, and the system redundancy diagnostic status for the respective signal path;
• receive, for the respective signal path, resource availability status information;
• generate, for the respective signal path, a redundant system response based on the resource availability status information for the respective signal path, the redundancy topology classification for the respective signal path, and the redundancy state for the respective signal path
• control at least one aspect of the vehicle associated with the computer system based on the redundant system response.
