    Abstract: A distributed vehicle health management system includes a vehicle-based diagnostic processor executing diagnostic routines in a vehicle. The diagnostic routines generate diagnostic data. A processor-based device executes advanced vehicle health management routines. The processor-based device determines a state of health of a component as a function of the diagnostic data. A telematics device communicates at least one of state of health data and diagnostic data from the vehicle. A remote entity disposed remotely from the vehicle. The remote entity receives data via the telematics device, the data being a selective subset of data output from at least one of the vehicle-based processor and processor-based device. The remote entity executes calibration routines as a function of the data received by the vehicle for calibrating at least one of the diagnostic routines and health management routines.

    Abstract: A controller area network (CAN) includes a CAN bus with a CAN-H wire, a CAN-L wire, a pair of CAN bus terminators located at opposite ends of the CAN bus, each terminator having a corresponding known terminator resistance value, a plurality of nodes including controllers wherein at least one of said controllers is a monitoring controller. The monitoring controller includes a detection control routine for detecting the presence of a wire-open fault on the CAN bus, including determining a CAN bus resistance, and determining a wire-open fault on the CAN bus based upon the determined CAN bus resistance and the terminator resistance values.

    Abstract: Systems and method are provided for controlling a vehicle. In one embodiment, a method includes: recording, by a controller onboard the vehicle, lidar data from the lidar device while the vehicle is travelling on a straight road; determining, by the controller, that the vehicle is travelling straight on the straight road; detecting, by the controller, straight lane marks on the straight road; computing, by the controller, lidar boresight parameters based on the straight lane marks; calibrating, by the controller, the lidar device based on the lidar boresight parameters; and controlling, by the controller, the vehicle based on data from the calibrated lidar device.

    Abstract: A system includes control modules, a low-voltage communications bus, e.g., a CAN bus of a vehicle, a voltage sensor that measures a bus voltage and outputs 2.5-3.5 VDC high-data and 1.5-2.5 VDC low-data, and a host electronic control unit (ECU). The host ECU detects a recoverable fault using a data pattern in the bus voltage data when the data is outside of a calibrated range, and recalibrates the sensor. Recalibration may be by adjustment to a scaling factor and/or a bias value. Non-recoverable “stuck-at-fault”-type or “out-of-range”-type faults may be detected using the pattern, as may be a ground offset fault. A method includes measuring the bus voltage using the sensor, comparing the output data to a range to detect the fault, and isolating a sensor fault as a recoverable fault using the data pattern when the data is outside of the range. The sensor is then be recalibrated.

    Abstract: An apparatus and method that detect a condition of a vehicle component are provided. The method includes diagnosing vehicle health of a vehicle by analyzing one or more from among vehicle performance, vehicle energy usage, and vehicle vibration and acoustics, performing fault isolation on the vehicle to detect a health condition of a vehicle component corresponding to the isolated fault if the vehicle health below a predetermined threshold, monitoring the vehicle component corresponding to the isolated fault and estimating a remaining useful life of the vehicle component corresponding to the isolated fault, and performing one or more from among continuously monitoring, scheduling maintenance, providing a warning, and performing fault mitigation based on the estimated remaining useful life of the vehicle component corresponding to the isolated fault.
