First Claim
Patent Images
1. A vehicle comprising:
- at least one operative sub-system on or within the vehicle, wherein the at least one operative sub-system includes at least one sensor configured to output one or more sensor signals related to the at least one operative sub-system; and
a monitoring system in communication with the at least one operative sub-system, wherein the monitoring system is configured to;
(a) correlate the one or more sensor signals with respect to time, (b) compile initial statistics of the one or more sensor signals with respect to a plurality of variables of the at least one operative sub-system; and
(c) correlate the plurality of variables of the at least one operative sub-system.

Abstract
A vehicle may include at least one operative sub-system that includes at least one sensor configured to output one or more sensor signals related to the at least one operative sub-system. A monitoring system is in communication with the operative sub-system(s). The monitoring system is configured to correlate the one or more sensor signals with respect to time, compile initial statistics of the one or more sensor signals with respect to a plurality of variables; and correlate the plurality of variables.

13. A method of monitoring one or more operative sub-systems of a vehicle, the method comprising:
-
receiving one or more sensor signals from the one or more operative sub-systems of the vehicle; correlating the one or more sensor signals with respect to time; outputting a data table that correlates the one or more sensor signals with respect to time; filtering one or both of irrelevant or out-of-range data from the one or more sensor signals; compiling initial statistics of the one or more sensor signals with respect to a plurality of variables; outputting an initial statistics report that compiles the initial statistics of the one or more sensor signals with respect to the plurality of variables; and correlating the plurality of variables. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16)

17. A monitoring system in communication with at least one operative sub-system, wherein the monitoring system comprises:
-
a communication link that is configured to receive one or more sensor signals from the at least one operative sub-system; a data correlation unit that is configured to correlate the one or more sensor signals with respect to time; an initial statistics compilation unit that is configured to compile initial statistics of the one or more sensor signals with respect to a plurality of separate and distinct variables of the at least one operative sub-system; and a variable correlation unit that is configured to correlate the plurality of separate and distinct variables of the at least one operative sub-system. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20)
