`
`An apparatus is provided for diagnosing the state of health
`of a vehicle and for providing the operator of the vehicle
`with a substantially real-time indication of the efliciency of
`the vehicle in performing an assigned task with respect to a
`predetermined goal. A processor on—board the vehicle moni-
`tors sensors that provide infiirniation regarding the state of
`health o {the vehicle and tl1e amount of work the vehicle has
`done. 111 response to anomalies in the data from the sensors,
`the processor records information that describes events
`leading up to the occurrence ofthe anomaly for later analysis
`that can be used to diagnose the cause ofthe anomaly. The
`sensors are also used to prompt the operator of the vehicle
`to operate the vehicle at optimum eilieieiiey.

`The invention generally relates to the identification of

`larly, to the collection and analysis of data derived during

`
`'fl~ll£ lN\r’I-ENTION
`
`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 charg-
`ingfdiseharging gauge. In more sophisticated vehicle sys-
`tems,
`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 ir1 a routine or
`“critical” state
`ie. a state that if maintained will cause the
`component or subassenrbly to fail.
`it is also known to
`Like the monitoring of vital signs.
`employ sensors on-board a vehicle to track perfonnance of
`the vehicle. An example of such an on-board system is
`illustrated in U.S. Pat. No. 4,839,835 to Hagenbuch. By
`sensing and monitoring vehicle parameters related to the
`task being performed by a vehicle. a record can be estab-
`lished that describes how eifectively the vehicle is perform-
`ing and provides the operator of the vehicle with infonnation
`from which litture operations of the vehicle can be planned
`to maximize perfonnanee. Task-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 pantntcters that provide
`indicia of the work done by the vehicle. where work is
`proportional to the weight of a vehicle multiplied by dis-
`tance it is carried. Production performance of the vehicle is
`generally evaluated in the amount of work done by the
`vehicle in a unit oftirne—e.g.. miles per hour_. tons per hour
`and the like.
`
`Today. there are many companies producing equipment
`for monit'on'ng the state of health of a vehiele’s components
`and subassemblies-—-i.e._.
`its “vital signs.” There are also
`many companies producing vehicle production monitoring
`equipment. However. to the best of applicant‘s knowledge.
`none of these products has integrated vehicle production
`with vehicle condition. It is expensive to operate all vehicles
`and.
`in particular.
`large load-carrying vehicles such as
`trucks. Accordingly, in an effort to improve tl1e up time or
`operating time of the vehicle. it is very important to monitor
`the critical vital signs ofa vehicle. However. in addition to
`simply monitoring these vehicle critical vital signs. it is even
`more important to know what caused a vehicle vital sign to
`reach a critical condition that. if continued, will cause failure
`of a component or subassembly. When taken as disparate
`items. tracking either vital signs or production parameters
`gives only a partial picture of a vehicle's operation.

`SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
`
`It is the general object of the invention to diagnose the
`cause of anomalies in the values of the state-of-health
`
`parameters of a vehicle.
`ll
`is a related object of the invention to employ the
`foregoing diagnosis to control the operation and use of the
`vehicle to reduce the severity and number ofanomalies of
`tl1e values of the state-of-health pararneters of the vehicle.
`thereby extending the usefttl life of the vehicle while main-
`taining production goals.
`It is also an important object of the invention to provide
`a historical record of the values of the condition and per-
`formance parameters of a vehicle. which can be used to
`schedule future maintenance and utilization of a vehicle.
`It
`is yet another important object of the invention to
`provide to the user of a vehicle real-time information
`regarding the degree with which the vehicle is being uti-
`lined --i.e.. the ntaximization ofall performance and condi-
`tion pararneters within their nonnal ranges. It is a related
`object of the invention to signal the user ofa vehicle whether
`the utilization of the vehicle at the moment is optimum and
`to also indicate whether the user has utilized the vehicle over
`
`a known time period (e.g.. a work shift) in a manner that
`meets expectations.
`These and other objects and advantages of the present
`invention. as well as additional inventive features, will be
`apparent trozn the description of the invention provided
`herein.
`Briefly. the invention identifies a poor state of health of a
`vehicle and provides data regarding the recent use of the
`vehicle that can he used to efl'ectively diagnose the cause of
`the poor health. Operating the vehicle beyond its nonnal
`operating conditions stresses components and subassem-
`blies. If stressed to an extreme or tbr a long period of time,
`the component or subassembly may fail. On the other hand,
`under—utilization of the vehicle results in undue operating
`expenses and ineflieient use of the vehicle. Tlrertefore. the
`invention also provides a visual prompt to the. operator of
`the vehicle on a substantially real-time basis an evaluation of
`the eiliciency of the vehicle's operation with respect to a
`predetermined norm for an assigned task. Wit
