Abstract
Apparatus, device, methods and system relating to a vehicular telemetry environment for monitoring vehicle components and providing indications towards the condition of the vehicle components and providing optimal indications towards replacement or maintenance of vehicle components before vehicle component failure.
Claims34
A method to monitor and provide replacement indications for an operational vehicle component comprising:
- accessing a sample of operational component data that includes an operational data from at least one vehicle component from at least one vehicle,
- determining operational component parameters from said operational data, said operational component parameters indicative of a current operation of said at least one vehicle component,
- comparing said sample of operational component parameters with predictive indicator parameters, said predictive indicator parameters predetermined from historical operational life cycle use of at least one other vehicle component, and
- indicating a maintenance condition of said operational vehicle component based upon a comparison of said operational component parameters and said predictive indicator parameters.

A system to monitor and provide replacement indications for an operational vehicle component comprising:
- a telematics hardware device including a processor, memory, firmware and communications capability,
- a remote device including a processor memory software and communications capability
- said telematics hardware device monitoring at least one vehicle component from at least one vehicle and logging operational component data of said at least one vehicle component, said telematics hardware device communicating a log of operational component data to said remote device
- said remote device accessing a sample of operational component data that includes an operational data from at least one vehicle component from at least one vehicle,
- said remote device determining operational component parameters from said operational data, said operational component parameters indicative of a current operation of said at least one vehicle component,
- said remote device comparing said sample of operational component parameters with predictive indicator parameters, said predictive indicator parameters predetermined from historical operational life cycle use of at least one other vehicle component, and
- said remote device indicating a maintenance condition of said operational vehicle component based upon a comparison of said operational component parameters and said predictive indicator parameters.
