Systems and methods for establishing a virtualized channel and communicating therewith

A system, comprising:

• a processor;
• and
• a memory communicably coupled to the one processor, the memory comprising computer executable instructions, when executed by the processor, to:
• receive measurements from a first set of telematics channels of a source machine;
• analyze the first set of telematics channels of the source machine to derive a mathematical function representing the relationship of each channel within the first set of telematics channels;
• identify a second set of telematics channels of the target machine, wherein the second set of telematics channels includes at least one missing channel from the first set of telematics channels;
• generate a virtualized channel representing the at least one missing channel from the first set of telematics channels;
• predict one or more values for the virtualized channel;
• receive measurements from the second set of telematics channels from the target machine;
• apply the mathematical function to the target machine based upon the one or more predicted values of the virtualized channel and the received measurements from the second set of telematics channels from the target machine;
• and
• monitor whether the measurement from the second set of telematics channels and the virtualized channel conform to the mathematical function.

A method for virtualizing communications within a plurality of telematics channels operatively connected to a target machine, the method comprising:

• generating a virtualized channel in addition to the plurality of telematics channels operatively connected to the target machine;
• predicting one or more values for the virtualized channel based on a mathematical function derived from a first set of telematics channels of a source machine, wherein the mathematical function represents the relationship of each channel within the first set of telematics channels;
• receiving measurements from the plurality of telematics channels from the target machine;
• applying the mathematical function to the target machine based upon the one or more predicted values of the virtualized channel and the received measurements from the plurality of telematics channels from the target machine;
• and
• monitoring whether the received measurement and the virtualized channel conform to the mathematical function.
