Abstract
Systems and methods of providing usage-based maintenance services for a plurality of vehicles arranged in a fleet includes receiving usage data. A usage parameter distribution is generated, and a fleet usage model is generated according to the distribution. The fleet usage model expresses a score as a function of the usage parameter. Also, a score distribution is generated, and a reward model is generated according to the score distribution. The reward model expresses a maintenance reward as a function of the score. Additionally, the score for one of the vehicles is determined using the fleet usage model, and the maintenance reward is determined for the vehicle using the reward model.
Claims20
A method of operating a usage-based maintenance system for a vehicle that is part of a fleet of vehicles, the method comprising:
- receiving, by a processor from the vehicle, a usage parameter for the vehicle over a predetermined time period;
- determining, by the processor using a fleet usage model, a score for the vehicle according to the received usage parameter, the fleet usage model generated according to a fleet usage distribution of the usage parameter for respective vehicles within the fleet, the fleet usage model expressing the score for respective vehicles within the fleet as a function of the usage parameter;
- and
- determining, by the processor using a reward model, a maintenance reward for the vehicle according to the score determined for the vehicle, the reward model generated according to a distribution of the score for respective vehicles within the fleet, the reward model expressing the maintenance reward for respective vehicles within the fleet as a function of the score.
A usage-based maintenance system for a plurality of vehicles arranged in a fleet, the system comprising:
- a data storage device;
- and
- a processor configured to receive a usage parameter for respective ones of the plurality of vehicles within the fleet over a predetermined time period;
- the processor configured to determine, using a fleet usage model, a score for one of the plurality of vehicles according to the received usage parameter for the one of the plurality of vehicles, the fleet usage model generated according to a fleet usage distribution of the usage parameter for respective vehicles within the fleet, the fleet usage model expressing the score for respective vehicles within the fleet as a function of the usage parameter;
- and
- the processor configured to determine, using a reward model, a maintenance reward for the one of the plurality of vehicles according to the score determined for the one of the plurality of vehicles, the reward model generated according to a distribution of the score for respective vehicles within the fleet, the reward model expressing the maintenance reward for respective vehicles within the fleet as a function of the score.
