Vehicle Conditions Based Maintenance (CBM) of Electronic Body Mounted Components based on Dynamic Statistical approach

by Shai Nachshon; David Thomas

Abstract

Mistral Inc. and Plasan are providing an approach to Conditions Based Maintenance (CBM) of Electronic Body Mounted Components based on a Dynamic Statistical approach: - Most electronic body mounted devices fail as a result of environmental conditions and ongoing operational usage. - A dynamic statistical Condition Based Maintenance approach requires continuous data collection regarding dominated real time situational parameters which influence the estimation of the remaining time before failure of devices. - A method for integrating context awareness and CBM is adopted, and a detailed context-based detection/diagnosis mechanism is used. - Quantitative records of the historical performance of the vehicle are processed through a statistical model to determine the cumulative erosion on each device.
