`ABSTRACT
`
`An apparatus is provided for diagnosing the state ofhealth of
`a vehicle and for providing the operator ofthe vehicle with a
`substantially real-time indication o 1‘ the ellieiency ol‘ the
`vehicle in perfonning an assigned task with respect to a
`predetermined goal. A processor on—board the vehicle moni-
`tors sensors that provide in fortliation regarding the state ol‘
`lieallh of the vehicle and the amount of work the vehicle has
`
`done. ln response to anomalies in the data from the sensors.
`the processor records information that describes events lead-
`ing up to the occurrence of the anomaly for later analysis that
`can be used to diagnose the cause ofthe anomaly. The sensors
`are also used to prompt the operator ofthe vehicle to operate
`the vehicle at optimum efficieiicy.

`
`TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION
`
`The invention generally relates to the identification of
`anomalies in the operation of a vehicle and. more particularly.
`to the collection and analysis of data derived during operation
`of a vehicle that provides a basis for diagnosing the cause of
`anomalies in the vehicle’s operation.
`
`BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
`
`All vehicles today have various sensors for identifying and
`tracking critical “vital signs" of a vehicle. In their simplest
`form. these sensors include an oil pressure gauge. a water
`temperature gauge and an electrical system charging/dis
`charging gauge. In more sophisticated vehicle systems, these
`vital signs may be expanded to include the condition of the
`brake system. transmission shift indicator. and so forth. In
`fact, for every component or subassembly of a vehicle. a
`sensor can be adapted for indicating whether that component
`or subassernbly is operating in a routine or “critical" state—
`a state that if maintained will cause the component or
`subassembly to fail.
`it is also known to
`Like the monitoring of vital signs.
`employ sensors onboard a vehicle to track performance of
`the vehicle. An example of such an on-board system is illus-
`trated in U.S. Pat. No. 4.839.835 to I-lagenbuch. By sensing
`and monitoring vehicle parameters related to the task being
`performed by a vehicle. a record can be established that
`describes how eflectively the vehicle is performing and pro-
`vides the operator of the vehicle with information from which
`future operations of the vehicle can be planned to maximize
`performance. "fasl-:-related parameters are parameters such as
`load carried by a vehicle, grade of the road on which the
`vehicle is operating. loads hauled per hour. tons hauled per
`hour, and the like. In general. the task-related parameters are
`those parameters that provide indicia of the work done by the
`vehi
