Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for statistically equivalent level of safety modeling. One method includes identifying sub-fleets within a fleet based upon usage profiles, determining a sub-fleet reliability value for each sub-fleet, determining a baseline fleet reliability for the fleet by combining the sub-fleet reliability values on a weighted basis, applying at least one credit to at least one sub-fleet, determining a post-credit sub-fleet reliability value for each sub-fleet based upon the at least one credit, determining a post-credit fleet reliability for the fleet by combining the post-credit sub-fleet reliability values on a weighted basis, comparing the baseline fleet reliability with the post-credit fleet reliability to identify a change in fleet reliability and determining whether the change in fleet reliability is within a predetermined threshold to validate the at least one credit.

Abstract: In an embodiment, a method includes monitoring environmental conditions via a plurality of sensors positioned in proximity to a vehicle. The method also includes receiving, from one or more of the plurality of sensors, a first measured value of a first environmental variable and at least one additional measured value of at least one additional environmental variable. In addition, the method includes automatically determining, via a machine-learning model, a first expected value of the first environmental variable given the at least one additional measured value of the at least one additional environmental variable. Furthermore, the method includes automatically generating a storage decision in relation to the first measured value based, at least in part, on an evaluation of the first measured value relative to the first expected value. Additionally, the method includes causing execution of the storage decision at least with respect to onboard storage of the vehicle.

Abstract: Systems, methods and non-transitory computer readable storage medium are provided for task-based health data monitoring relating to aircraft components of aircraft within an aircraft fleet. One method includes establishing a review item with a first data review state to create a review task relating to health data of an aircraft component, generating images relating to the review item for display on a display device, retaining the review item for monitoring responsive to receiving user input changing the first data review state of the review item to a second data review state, receiving new health data relating to the aircraft component and automatically resetting the review item from the second data review state to the first data review state responsive to receiving the new health data to create a new review task.

Abstract: A sensor for monitoring rotors includes a rotating shaft coupled to a set of rotor blades and a non-rotating tube at least partially disposed within the rotating shaft and coupled to the rotating shaft. The non-rotating tube includes a first end and a second end, a sensor mount disposed within the non-rotating tube proximate to the second end of the non-rotating tube. One or more sensors are attached to the sensor mount, wherein the one or more sensors detect one or more parameters associated with the rotating shaft or the set of rotor blades.

Abstract: A method for operating a sensor system includes detecting a first wake trigger by a plurality of sensors for a component disposed in a remote location, generating, by each sensor, sensor service data that includes a battery charge level of the sensor, determining an active sensor according to the sensor service data of each sensor of the plurality of sensors, and assigning the active sensor to enter an active mode assigning each sensor of the plurality of sensors, other than the active sensor, to enter a sleep mode, generating, by the active sensor, sensor reading data for the component until an inactive trigger is detected, sending the sensor reading data using a wireless transmission to a sensor data server, and leaving the active mode by the active sensor and entering a sleep mode in response to the active sensor detecting an inactive trigger.

Abstract: A system for adaptable trend detection for component condition indicator data includes a sensor operable to measure an operating condition of a vehicle and generate a sensor signal associated with the operating condition and a data server operable to acquire a current condition indicator of a condition indicator set according to the sensor signal, and to determine whether a trend in the condition indicator set is indicated according to at least the current condition indicator, at least one previous condition indicator of the condition indicator set and a volatility of at least a portion of the condition indicator set. The data server is further operable to provide an alert in response to determining that the trend is indicated.
