Abstract
A method and an apparatus are provided for providing a vehicle component fault score. Faults that occur on vehicle components in a plurality of vehicles are tracked. One or more sets of attribute values are compiled for the tracked faults. A set of attribute values is collected for each item within one or more preset vehicle categories. A fault score is calculated for each set of the compiled attribute values. A set of one or more items with respective fault scores is displayed based on a preset vehicle category selected by a user.
Claims18
A method for providing a vehicle component fault score, the method comprising the steps of:
- tracking, by a transceiver of an apparatus, faults that occur on vehicle components in a plurality of vehicles;
- compiling, by a processor of the apparatus, one or more sets of attribute values for the tracked faults, wherein a set of attribute values within a respective preset boundary condition is collected for each item within one or more preset vehicle type categories;
- calculating, by the processor, a fault score for each set of the compiled attribute values;
- and
- displaying, by a display of the apparatus, a set of one or more items with respective fault scores based on a preset vehicle type category selected by a user,
- wherein compiling the one or more sets of attribute values comprises:
- comparing an attribute value to a respective preset boundary condition;
- determining whether the attribute value is within the respective preset boundary condition;
- and
- removing the attribute value, when the attribute value is not within the respective preset boundary condition, and
- wherein the fault scores are calculated without the removed attribute value.
An apparatus for providing a vehicle component fault score, comprising:
- a transceiver tracking faults that occur on vehicle components in a plurality of vehicles;
- a memory storing the tracked faults;
- at least one processor coupled to the memory, the transceiver, and a display, and operative to:
- (i) compile one or more sets of attribute values for the tracked faults, and (ii) calculate a fault score for each set of the compiled attribute values, wherein the a set of attribute values within a respective preset boundary condition is collected for each item within one or more preset vehicle type categories;
- and
- the display displaying a set of one or more items with respective fault scores based on a preset vehicle type category selected by user,
- wherein compiling the one or more sets of attribute values comprises:
- comparing an attribute value to a respective preset boundary condition;
- determining whether the attribute value is within the respective preset boundary condition;
- and
- removing the attribute value, when the attribute value is not within the respective preset boundary condition, and
- wherein the fault scores are calculated without the removed attribute value.
An article of manufacture for providing a vehicle component fault score, comprising a non-transitory machine readable medium containing one or more programs which when executed implement the steps of:
- tracking faults that occur on vehicle components in a plurality of vehicles;
- compiling one or more sets of attribute values for the tracked faults, wherein a set of attribute values within a respective preset boundary condition is collected for each item within one or more preset vehicle type categories;
- calculating a fault score for each set of the compiled attribute values;
- and
- displaying a set of one or more items with respective fault scores based on a preset vehicle type category selected by a user,
- wherein compiling the one or more sets of attribute values comprises:
- comparing an attribute value to a respective preset boundary condition;
- determining whether the attribute value is within the respective preset boundary condition;
- and
- removing the attribute value, when the attribute value is not within the respective preset boundary condition, and
- wherein the fault scores are calculated without the removed attribute value.
