    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.

    Abstract: A machine bearing disposed on a rotatable member, such as may be present on a vehicle, is described. A method for monitoring a state of health of the machine bearing includes monitoring, via a microphone, an acoustic signal, and coincidently determining a rotational speed of the rotatable member associated with the machine bearing. The sound spectrum is correlated to the rotational speed of the rotating member, and a time-frequency analysis is executed to determine a sound spectrum. The sound spectrum is transformed to a residual spectrum. A first feature associated with a first frequency band and a second feature associated with a second frequency band are extracted from the residual spectrum. The state of health associated with the machine bearing is detected based upon the first and second features, and is communicated to a second controller.

    Abstract: An electric drive system of a vehicle comprises a motor, a position sensor, an inverter, sensors to sense current and voltage supplied to the motor, and a controller to control the motor by controlling the inverter based on data from the position sensor and the sensors and a torque command. The controller estimates a motor torque using a motor model, calculates the motor torque, and generates a first state of health for the electric drive system based on a difference between the estimated and calculated motor torques. The controller generates, in response to the first state of health being less than or equal to a first threshold, a second state of health for at least one of the position sensor, the sensors, and the motor, and determines whether one of the position sensor, the sensors, and the motor is faulty based on the first and second states of health.
