Abstract
A vehicle system includes a processor and a memory accessible to the processor and storing computer-executable instructions. The instructions include receiving data from a plurality of vehicles, generating at least one cluster from the received data, and determining a life cycle profile for a vehicle component based on the at least one cluster. The data includes state of health information associated with the vehicle component.
Claims13
A vehicle system comprising a processor and a memory accessible to the processor and storing computer-executable instructions, the instructions including:
- receiving data from a plurality of vehicles, the data including state of health information associated with a vehicle component;
- generating a first cluster from the received data;
- determining a life cycle profile for the vehicle component based on the at least one first cluster;
- periodically updating the first cluster with updated data;
- and
- creating a second cluster after generating the first cluster, and wherein periodically updating the first cluster includes transferring data from the first cluster to the second cluster.
6-9. (canceled)
A method comprising:
- receiving data from a plurality of vehicles, the data including state of health information associated with a vehicle component;
- generating a first cluster from the received data;
- determining a life cycle profile for the vehicle component based on the at least one first cluster;
- periodically updating the first cluster with updated data;
- and
- creating a second cluster after generating the first cluster, and wherein periodically updating the first cluster includes transferring data from the first cluster to the second cluster.
15-17. (canceled)
The method of claim 15, wherein periodically updating the at least one cluster includes updating the first cluster includes updating the first cluster with additional data previously included in a third cluster, and the method further comprising deleting the third cluster after updating the first cluster with the data previously included in the third cluster.
