VEHICLE HEALTH MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
First Claim
1. A method for processing health management data for a vehicle, the method comprising:
- receiving a plurality of modulated signals on a bus system in the vehicle, wherein the plurality of modulated signals contain health management data from a plurality of data acquisition units, wherein each modulated signal has a different frequency from another modulated signal in the plurality of modulated signals to form a plurality of frequencies, and wherein the plurality of frequencies are selected to avoid interference with other data transmitted over the bus system by a plurality of data processing systems in the vehicle; and
processing the plurality of modulated signals based on the plurality of frequencies used to transmit the plurality of modulated signals.

Abstract
A method, apparatus, and computer program product for processing health management data for a vehicle. A plurality of modulated signals is received on a bus system in the vehicle. The plurality of modulated signals contains health management data from a plurality of data acquisition units. Each modulated signal has a different frequency from another modulated signal in the plurality of modulated signals to form a plurality of frequencies. The plurality of frequencies is selected to avoid interference with other data transmitted over the bus system by a plurality of data processing systems in the vehicle. The plurality of modulated signals is processed based on the plurality of frequencies used to transmit the plurality of modulated signals.
