APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR ANALYZING MULTIPLE FAULT OCCURRENCE OF MULTIPLE-STATE DEVICE
First Claim
1. An apparatus for facilitating analysis of a multiple-state device responsive to multiple fault occurrence, said apparatus comprising:
- an identifier configured to identify, for states of the multiple-state device and fault occurrences possible at the states, available remediation action; and
a hazard scorer configured to provide a representation of a hazard level associated with each available remediation action.

Abstract
Apparatus, and an associated method, for analyzing operation of a multiple-state device, such as a vehicular automatic transmission under multiple-fault occurrence. An identifier identifies all possible path sequences of an initial state responsive to occurrence of all possible faults and all possible remediation actions. The paths are identified for a multiple-fault occurrence of two or more faults. For each of the possible paths, a hazard level is assigned, and the hazard levels are sorted to obtain preferred path sequences. Analysis of the possible paths and their associated hazard levels is made, and a state control scheme is formulated.
