Condition monitoring of a vehicle

An apparatus for condition monitoring of a vehicle, the apparatus comprising:

• at least one processor;
• at least one memory connected to the at least one processor;
• wherein the at least one memory stores program instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the apparatus to:
• apply a dynamic model associated with a vehicle, the dynamic model having been determined by obtaining status information originating from at least one information bus of the vehicle, the status information providing real-time status information about the vehicle during the use of the vehicle, obtaining, based on vehicle identity information, vehicle dynamics information providing characteristics associated with the vehicle, obtaining map data representing road characteristics of roads of a geographical area, the map data comprising two-dimensional road map data, three-dimensional road map associated with the roads, and road characteristics data, analyzing behavior of the vehicle based on the status information and the vehicle dynamics information, and computing a dynamic model for the vehicle by comparing the behavior of the vehicle to the map data, the dynamic model enabling at least one of an estimation of the performance of the vehicle, observation of changes associated with the vehicle and observation of changes in driving conditions of the vehicle;
• analyze historical changes in at least one calibration parameter associated with the dynamic model of the vehicle;
• analyze effects of the three-dimensional road map associated with the roads and the road characteristics data in at least one position on the behavior of the vehicle;
• and
• determine, based on the analyzed historical changes and the effects, at least one change in at least one vehicle characteristic.
