METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR MONITORING VEHICLE ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS
First Claim
1. A method for monitoring an electrical system of a vehicle, the method comprising the steps of:
- performing an intermediate calculation using data pertaining to the electrical system to generate an intermediate result using a processor;
performing an aggregate calculation using the intermediate result to generate a calculated value pertaining to the electrical system using the processor; and
performing a redundant intermediate calculation using the data and the processor to generate a redundant intermediate result.

Abstract
Methods and systems are provided for monitoring an electrical system of a vehicle. Data pertaining to the electrical system is obtained. Calculation modules are performed using the data to generate intermediate determinations. An aggregate calculation module is performed using each of the intermediate determinations to generate an aggregate determination pertaining to the electrical system. Redundant intermediate calculations are performed using the data to generate redundant intermediate determinations. Each of the redundant intermediate determinations is used for comparison with a respective intermediate determination.
