VEHICLE MISSION CAPABILITY PREDICTION SYSTEM AND METHOD

摘要

A system method for predicting vehicle mission capability for a vehicle that is propelled by an engine includes collecting engine degradation data for the engine. Location independent engine degradation data are generated from the collected engine degradation data. The location independent engine degradation data are representative of engine degradation that is independent of locations associated with the mission. Predictions of location dependent engine degradation are calculated from the collected engine degradation data and the location independent engine degradation data. The location dependent engine degradation is representative of engine degradation due to movement through locations associated with the mission.

1. A method for determining engine degradation for a vehicle that is propelled by an engine, the method comprising the steps of:
collecting engine degradation data for the engine, the engine degradation data comprising calculations of engine degradation associated with a mission the vehicle has completed; generating, from the collected engine degradation data, location independent engine degradation data, the location independent engine degradation data representative of engine degradation that is independent of locations associated with the mission; calculating, from the collected engine degradation data and the location independent engine degradation data, predictions of location dependent engine degradation, the location dependent engine degradation representative of engine degradation due to movement through locations associated with the mission
