Methods and systems for generating and outputting test drive scripts for vehicles

摘要

Systems and methods pertaining to generating a test drive script (TDS) based on vehicle data values (VDV) from a vehicle and driving circumstance parameters (DCP) that correspond to use of the vehicle when the VDV are captured are described herein. The TDS can include a baseline path that includes the paths taken by the vehicle while the VDV are captured. The TDS can include an alternate path that includes paths that approximate one or more paths taken by the vehicle while the VDV are captured. The VDV can include, but are not limited to, DTC and PID values from the vehicle. The DCP can include, but are not limited to, traffic condition parameters, meteorological parameters, location parameters, and motion parameters. The TDS can include notifications to alert a user to a location where certain VDV were captured to assist the user in recreating a symptom in a vehicle.

1. A method comprising:
storing, by a non-transitory computer-readable medium, a plurality of vehicle data values captured from within a first vehicle as the first vehicle is driven on a path; storing, by the non-transitory computer-readable medium, a plurality of driving circumstance parameters corresponding to the plurality of vehicle data values captured from within the first vehicle as the first vehicle is driven on the path; determining, by at least one processor, a selected vehicle data value; determining, by the at least one processor, the plurality of vehicle data values captured from within the first vehicle as the first vehicle is driven on the path comprises the selected vehicle data value; generating, by the at least one processor, a test drive script (TDS) comprising instructions to guide a vehicle or a driver of a vehicle on at least a portion of the path the first vehicle was driven on when a vehicle data value of the plurality of vehicle data values matching the selected vehicle data value was captured from within the first vehicle, wherein the TDS is based on the vehicle data value of the plurality of vehicle data values matching the selected vehicle data value and at least a portion of the driving circumstance parameters that correspond to the vehicle data value of the plurality of vehicle data values matching the selected vehicle data value; storing, by the non-transitory computer-readable medium, the TDS; and outputting, by a network interface to an electronic control unit (ECU) within a second vehicle or to a TDS presentation device being used to diagnose the second vehicle, the stored TDS in response to a TDS request, wherein the first vehicle and the second vehicle are separate individual vehicles.
