FAULT REMEDIATION SYSTEM FOR A VEHICLE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18055479 titled 'FAULT REMEDIATION SYSTEM FOR A VEHICLE

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a fault remediation system for a vehicle that detects active faults in signals and selects remediation states based on significance analysis and remediation tolerance evaluation.

• The system includes controllers in communication with consumed and provided interfaces.
• Controllers receive consumed signals, detect active faults, and select remediation states based on significance analysis.
• Relevant subfunctions are evaluated for remediation tolerance, and arbitration instructions are generated accordingly.

Potential Applications

The technology described in the patent application could be applied in various industries such as automotive, aerospace, and manufacturing where fault detection and remediation are critical for ensuring system reliability and safety.

Problems Solved

1. Efficient fault detection and remediation in vehicle systems. 2. Improved system reliability and safety through proactive fault management.

Benefits

1. Enhanced vehicle performance and safety. 2. Reduced downtime and maintenance costs. 3. Increased operational efficiency and reliability.

Potential Commercial Applications

Optimizing Vehicle Fault Remediation System for Enhanced Performance and Safety

Possible Prior Art

Prior art in fault detection and remediation systems for vehicles may include traditional diagnostic tools and methods, as well as other patented technologies in the field of automotive electronics.

Unanswered Questions

How does the system handle multiple active faults simultaneously?

The abstract does not specify how the system prioritizes and addresses multiple active faults if they occur simultaneously.

What is the impact of the remediation tolerance evaluation on the overall system performance?

The abstract does not elaborate on how the evaluation of remediation tolerance affects the efficiency and effectiveness of the fault remediation system.

Original Abstract Submitted

A fault remediation system for a vehicle includes one or more controllers in electronic communication with one or more consumed interfaces and one or more provided interfaces. The one or more controllers execute instructions to receive, from the one or more consumed interfaces, a consumed signal and perform fault detection upon the consumed signal to determine the presence of an active fault within the consumed signal. In response to detecting an active fault with the consumed signal, the one or more controllers select a remediation state from a group of two or more prospective remediation states based on a significance analysis of the consumed signal. The one or more controllers evaluate a relevant subfunction that corresponds to the consumed signal that the remediation state addresses for the presence of remediation tolerance and generates arbitration instructions based on the remediation tolerance.
