Connected Vehicle Diagnostics and Prognostics, Concept, and Initial Practice

We propose a new concept of Connected Vehicle Diagnostics and Prognostics (CVDP) to address some of the challenges in vehicle system fault diagnostics and prognosis, such as the diagnostics of unexpected new faults, and infrequent or intermittent faults. As an initial practice, this concept has been implemented in the vehicle design validation process at GM. This paper presents the implementation details, and some case studies.
