INTERACTIVE DATA EXCHANGE SYSTEM FOR VEHICLE MAINTENANCE SCHEDULING AND UP-TIME OPTIMIZATION

摘要

Vehicle telematics is employed to improve maintenance scheduling by facilitating collection and integration of vehicle condition information fro m diverse sources. These sources include real time data collected from vehicle sensors over an intelligent vehicle controller area network. The network is provided with facilities for generating records with stamps allowing their correlation with vehicle inspection results and the generation of trend reports to be used in scheduling maintenance.
