HEALTH MONITORING SYSTEMS AND METHODS WITH VEHICLE VELOCITY
First Claim
1. A health monitoring system for a vehicle configured to travel over a surface with a velocity, the vehicle having an identity, the system comprising:
- a body configured to stimulate a dynamic response from the vehicle as the vehicle travels over the body;
a response sensor associated with the body and configured to measure the dynamic response from the vehicle;
an identification sensor associated with the body and configured to collect data corresponding to the identity of the vehicle;
a velocity sensor associated with the body and configured to determine the velocity of the vehicle; and
a processing unit associated with the body and configured to evaluate the health of the vehicle based on the dynamic response, the identity, and the velocity.

16. A method for monitoring the health of a vehicle traveling on a surface at a velocity, the method comprising the steps of:
-
stimulating a dynamic response of the vehicle by positioning a cleat on the surface such that the vehicle rolls over the cleat as the vehicle travels on the surface; measuring the dynamic response of the vehicle to the cleat; measuring the velocity of the vehicle; determining the identify of the vehicle; and evaluating the health of the vehicle based on the dynamic response, the identity, and the velocity. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19)
