System for performing vehicle diagnostic and prognostic analysis

A computer system implemented in a vehicle and configured to interface with an engine computer and a plurality of wireless sensors installed in the vehicle, the computer system comprising:

• digital logic circuitry programmed with executable instructions that configure the digital logic circuitry to:
• receive a plurality of transmissions comprising sensor data from a sensor disposed within a vehicle;
• filter the plurality of transmissions of sensor data to remove transmissions where at least a portion of the sensor data received from the plurality of transmissions is the same;
• compare the filtered sensor data to previous sensor data received from the sensor;
• and
• based on a determination that a difference between the sensor data and the previous sensor data exceeds a determined threshold associated with the sensor data, transmit at least a portion of the data to a vehicle management system.

A method for interfacing with an engine computer and a plurality of wireless sensors installed in a vehicle, the method comprising:

• receiving wirelessly, by a hub device, sensor data from a wireless sensor disposed within a vehicle, wherein the sensor data provides information associated with a component of the vehicle;
• filtering the plurality of transmissions of sensor data to remove transmissions where at least a portion of the sensor data received from the plurality of transmissions is the same;
• processing, by the hub device, the sensor data to determine whether to transfer the sensor data to a vehicle management system;
• and
• based on a determination to transfer the sensor data to the vehicle management system, transmitting at least a portion of the sensor data to the vehicle management system.
