System and method for optimal sensor placement

Abstract

A system, apparatus, method, and non-transitory computer readable medium for performing improved and / or optimal sensor placement may include a computing device caused to, receive a plurality of fault conditions and an initial sensor suite associated with at least one object to be simulated, the initial sensor suite including a plurality of candidate physical sensors for the at least one object, perform failure mode analysis of the initial sensor suite, the performing the failure mode analysis including generating at least one dependency-matrix (D-matrix) based on the plurality of fault conditions and the plurality of candidate physical sensors, and generate a recommended sensor suite associated with the at least one object based on results of the failure mode analysis, the recommended sensor suite including at least one recommended sensor, the at least one recommended sensor being a subset of the plurality of candidate physical sensors.
