Abstract
A method for planning a vehicle diagnosis in a vehicle includes: estimation of an operating characteristic of the vehicle on a route to be traveled by the vehicle; and planning of the vehicle diagnosis based on a probability that the estimated operating characteristic of the vehicle will correspond to an operating characteristic suitable for the vehicle diagnosis.
Claims11
A method for determining a plan for a vehicle diagnosis in a vehicle, comprising:
- estimating, via a processor, at least one operating characteristic of the vehicle on path segments, wherein the path segments are of a route traveled or to be traveled by the vehicle, wherein the operating characteristics are at least one of suitable and unsuitable for the vehicle diagnosis, which is an on-board-diagnostic (OBD) test;
- determining, via the processor, a plan for performing the vehicle diagnosis based on a probability that the at least one estimated operating characteristic of the vehicle corresponds to an operating characteristic that is at least one of suitable and unsuitable for the vehicle diagnosis, wherein the operating characteristic suitable for the vehicle diagnosis is a function of a state of the vehicle which has to fulfill predetermined conditions for the vehicle diagnosis,
- wherein the probability that the estimated operating characteristic of the vehicle corresponds to an operating characteristic suitable for the vehicle diagnosis takes into account a probability as to whether the operating characteristic suitable for the vehicle diagnosis can be realized using auxiliary aggregates in the vehicle;
- and
- operating the auxiliary aggregates based on the determined plan and performing the vehicle diagnosis according to the determined plan.

A device determining a plan for performing a vehicle diagnosis in a vehicle, comprising:
- a control unit including a processor configured to perform the following:
- estimating, via a processor, at least one operating characteristic of the vehicle on path segments, wherein the path segments are of a route traveled or to be traveled by the vehicle, wherein the operating characteristics are at least one of suitable and unsuitable for the vehicle diagnosis, which is an on-board-diagnostic (OBD) test;
- and
- determining, via the processor, a plan for performing the vehicle diagnosis based on a probability that the at least one estimated operating characteristic of the vehicle corresponds to an operating characteristic that is at least one of suitable and unsuitable for the vehicle diagnosis, wherein the operating characteristic suitable for the vehicle diagnosis is a function of a state of the vehicle which has to fulfill predetermined conditions for the vehicle diagnosis;
- wherein the probability that the estimated operating characteristic of the vehicle corresponds to an operating characteristic suitable for the vehicle diagnosis takes into account a probability as to whether the operating characteristic suitable for the vehicle diagnosis can be realized using auxiliary aggregates in the vehicle;
- and
- operating the auxiliary aggregates based on the determined plan and performing the vehicle diagnosis according to the determined plan.
