Description

Attorney Docket No.: 259252.000177SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR HEALTH MONITORING AND INTERVENTION FOR VEHICLESCROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS

[0001] This application is a Patent Cooperation Treaty (PCT) application of, and claims priority under Article 8 of the PCT to, U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 63 / 708,925, filed October 18, 2024, the entire contents of which is fully incorporated herein by reference.FIELD

[0002] The disclosed technology relates to systems and methods for health monitoring and intervention for vehicles. Specifically, this disclosed technology relates to using machine learning models to aid in proactively monitoring assorted vehicle components, determining whether they are operating outside an optimal range, and modifying operation of the components to increase lifespan or reduce degradation.BACKGROUND

[0003] Modem vehicles (e.g., electric vehicles, internal combustion engine vehicles) have hundreds of signals that relay critical information back and forth between different systems. These signals provide vital information on the health of assorted systems, such as the battery pack, motors, or thermal system. As the systems and components are used and age, they can fail completely or intermittently operate. Present vehicle systems typically warn the driver of the failing component based on the received signals (e.g., using a malfunction indication light or warning) and, at best, provide some rudimentary form of “loadshed” by reducing functionality of the problematic system or component. This gives the driver little to no warning in advance, and the driver then has to schedule service to replace the failing vehicle component.

[0004] Accordingly, there is a need for improved systems and methods for proactive health monitoring and intervention for vehicles. Embodiments of the present disclosure are directed to this and other considerations.Attorney Docket No.: 259252.000177SUMMARY

[0005] Disclosed embodiments may include a system for health monitoring and intervention for vehicles. The system may include one or more processors, and memory in communication with the one or more processors and storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, are configured to cause the system to provide for vehicle health monitoring and intervention. The system may receive first input data associated with a first vehicle component, the first input data comprising one or more first values for indicating potential degradation of the first vehicle component. The system may also determine, using a first machine learning model, one or more optimal ranges for the first vehicle component based on the first input data. Furthermore, the system may receive second input data associated with the first vehicle component. Additionally, the system may determine whether the first vehicle component is operating outside a first optimal range of the one or more optimal ranges based on the second input data. In response to determining that the first vehicle component is operating outside the first optimal range, the system may change from a standard operating mode to a first alternate operating mode. The first alternate operating mode may be for reducing degradation of the first vehicle component by performing one or more first actions prior to a failure of the first vehicle component.

The system may receive first input data associated with a first vehicle component. The system may also determine, using a first machine learning model, a first optimal range for the first vehicle component based on the first input data. Furthermore, the system may receive second input data associated with the first vehicle component. Additionally, the system may determine whether the first vehicle component is operating outside the first optimal range based on the second input data and without an observed loss of functionality. In response to determining the first vehicle component is operating outside the first optimal range based on the second input data, the system may modify one or more first operating parameters associated with the first vehicle component.

[0026] Disclosed embodiments may include the dynamic and live monitoring of system parameters of different vehicle components continuously over time. From the live monitoring, the system may include determining and saving critical parameters indicative of predicting vehicle component health, and establishing trend behaviors to determine whether or not an imminent failure or performance reduction in a specific component expected. If a failure is expected, the system may instruct the vehicle to take mitigatory steps to repair, or mitigate the effect of, the degrading trend of the component. This maximizes the operational life of individual vehicleAttorney Docket No.: 259252.000177 components (as well as the vehicle) and prevents catastrophic loss of function. The system may be capable of instructing and monitoring other systems such that basic troubleshooting strategies may be implemented to correct the problem during normal vehicle operation, allowing the vehicle to avoid unnecessary service visits. This may also allow the vehicle to continue to operate for substantially longer periods of time before service is required.

[0027] Accordingly, the disclosed embodiments rely on ingesting data from hundreds of different vehicle systems to determine signs of future vehicle component failure. Accordingly, as the vehicle ages and deteriorates, received data from components may begin to show nascent signs of compromised functionality, such as increased current draw, far before the component intermittently fails. Therefore, the present system determines, based on comparing current data with past data, and other data (e.g., expected data or data common other vehicles with similar components), indicators that are signs of future component failure. By determining that a component is operating outside an optimal range at an early stage, the system may be able to intervene to (1) extend the life of the component by changing its operation or operation of other related components, (2) prevent the component from failing by changing its operation or operation of other related components, (3) avoid observable functionality loss to the user, and (4) notify the user that a component is operating outside a normal range substantially before the component fails. Overall, the system may use data monitoring from various devices to make determinations regarding long-term trends and transmit remedial instructions or strategies to devices or systems to prolong component life and avoid premature failure.

[0028] Examples of the present disclosure related to systems and methods for health monitoring and intervention for vehicles. More particularly, the disclosed technology relates to determining proactive indicators of vehicle system health, establishing an optimal range for system health, determining whether a vehicle component is operating within the optimal range, and, if not, modifying the operation of the vehicle component or associated system to prevent further degradation of the vehicle component. The systems and methods described herein utilize, in some instances, machine learning models, which are necessarily rooted in computers and technology. Machine learning models are a unique computer technology that involves training models to complete tasks and make decisions. Using a machine learning model in this way may allow the system to determine vehicle signals indicative of future component degradation, and proactively mitigate component failure by changing component operation in advance. This is an advantageAttorney Docket No.: 259252.000177 and improvement over prior technologies that because prior technologies cannot actively mitigate (and potentially prevent) component failures before they occur, and rather just alert a user of a failure once it has already occurred. The present disclosure solves this problem by using machine learning models to identify an optimal range for component operation, and identify when components are operating outside the optimal range. Overall, the systems and methods disclosed have significant practical applications in the vehicle health detection and vehicle servicing fields because of the noteworthy improvements of using machine learning models to detect and mitigate potential future component failures, which are important to solving present problems with this technology.

[0029] Some implementations of the disclosed technology will be described more fully with reference to the accompanying drawings. This disclosed technology may, however, be embodied in many different forms and should not be construed as limited to the implementations set forth herein. The components described hereinafter as making up various elements of the disclosed technology are intended to be illustrative and not restrictive. Many suitable components that would perform the same or similar functions as components described herein are intended to be embraced within the scope of the disclosed electronic devices and methods.

[0030] Reference will now be made in detail to example embodiments of the disclosed technology that are illustrated in the accompanying drawings and disclosed herein. Wherever convenient, the same reference numbers will be used throughout the drawings to refer to the same or like parts.

[0031] FIG. 1 is a flow diagram illustrating an exemplary method 100 for health monitoring and intervention for vehicles, in accordance with certain embodiments of the disclosed technology. The steps of method 100 may be performed by one or more components of the system 500 (e.g., health monitoring and intervention system 320, as described in more detail with respect to FIGS. 3-5. Method 100 may be continuously repeated and iterated as the vehicle operates. Method 100 may be used with multiple types of vehicles include electric vehicles (EVs), plug-in hybrid vehicles (PHEV), and internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles.

[0032] In block 102, the health monitoring and intervention system 320 may receive first input data. The first input data may be associated with the operation of a first vehicle component. The first input data may be data regarding a vehicle components or systems over a duration (e.g., a medium or long period of time) and may be a result of monitoring vehicle components or systems.Attorney Docket No.: 259252.000177The first input data may include continuous and live data from numerous vehicle components and vehicle systems. This may be received via modules located within the vehicle (e.g., from body control module 510, compressor control module 520, pump control module 530, climate control module 540, drive unit control module 550, driver input control 560, and communications interface 570 of FIG. 5. For example, the driver input control 560 (FIG. 5) may receive average throttle input data (as received from throttle input 561 of FIG. 5) which may be transmitted to health monitoring and intervention system 320 over the vehicle network 506 (FIG. 5). In another example, the climate control module 540 (FIG. 5) may transmit power consumption data to the health monitoring and intervention system 320 via the vehicle network 506 (FIG. 5). Input data may include a present power consumption of the component (e.g., the power consumption in watt- hours or kilowatt-hours), a temperature of the component (e.g., battery temperature or drive unit temperature), a pressure indication of the component (e.g., oil pressure or fuel pressure), circuit resistance (e.g., a circuit rating in ohms), and voltage output. First input data may be standardized, normalized, or aggregated. First input data may be data may be averaged over a specific period to adjust for individual outliers or irregularities in the data. First input data may include data representative of operation of the first vehicle component over a period of time (e.g., a day, a week, a month, 3 months, 6 months, 1 year).

[0033] First input data may be received on a regularly scheduled basis from other modules (which may broadcast the data over vehicle network 506). In other embodiments, the health monitoring and intervention system 320 may poll other vehicle modules for input data. In some embodiments, first input data may include training data (e.g., data transmitted from calibration system 408 to enhance health monitoring and intervention system 320), crowdsourced data (e.g., average data from other vehicles with other similar components transmitted from calibration system 408 to enhance health monitoring and intervention system 320), and manufacturer data (e.g., standards data, as described with reference to block 104).

[0034] The first vehicle component may be a variety of different vehicle components. The health monitoring and intervention system 320 may be capable of monitoring and intervening with the operations of multiple vehicle components at one time. Vehicle components that the health monitoring and intervention system 320 may interact with may include: drive units, drive batteries, 12V batteries, engines, pumps (e.g., oil pumps, coolant pumps), radiators (e.g., primary radiator, auxiliary radiator, heater core, intercooler), thermostats, vehicle compressors, air conditioningAttorney Docket No.: 259252.000177 compressors, cooling fans, air conditioning fans, blower motors, lights (e.g., interior lights, puddle lights, driving lights, high-beams, auxiliary lights, turn signal lights), electronic control modules (e.g., body control modules, engine control modules, transmission control modules, drive unit controllers, and battery controllers), fuse boxes, power supplies, differentials, differential locks (e.g., mechanical or electrical), suspension components (e.g., shocks, anti-roll bars, air springs, air spring compressor), switches (e.g., buttons, shifters, stalks, ignition interlocks), sensors (e.g., temperature sensors, pressure sensors, level sensors, proximity sensors, location sensors, level sensors, gyroscopic sensors, altimeters), solenoids (e.g., reverse lockout, neutral safety lockout), vacuum pumps (e.g., electronic brake control, smog pumps), power steering racks (e.g., electric power steering racks), door locks (e.g., electric door locks, truck locks, front storage or hood locks), door handles (e.g., electric door handles), windows (e.g., electronic window apparatuses including electronic window motors), seats (e.g., electronic seat control motors), safety systems (e.g., airbags and seatbelts), cameras (e.g., back-up camera), and displays (e.g., infotainment displays, instrument cluster displays, dash displays, rear seat displays, heads-up displays). The health monitoring and intervention system 320 may interact with the above components (or associated control modules) to monitor signals including: potential difference (e.g., voltage), current (e.g., amperage), resistance (e.g., ohms), power (e.g., watts), energy (e.g., watt-hour), time (e.g., seconds), location (e.g., coordinates), temperature (e.g., degrees Celsius), distance (e.g., meters, miles), speed (e.g., meters per second, miles per hour, revolutions per minute, cycles per second), acceleration, audio data (e.g., sounds of vehicle components recorded by a microphone), video data, and waveforms (e.g., inputs from variable reluctance or hall effect sensors).

[0035] In optional block 104, the health monitoring and intervention system 320 may store some or all of the first input data. The first input data may be stored as historical data. The first input data received may be stored for a predetermined amount of time (e.g., 1 day, 15 days, 30 days, or 90 days). The amount of time the first input data is stored may vary on the type of input data (e.g., drive unit current may be more useful to store for longer periods than outside air temperature). In some embodiments, the health monitoring and intervention system 320 may also store standards data, which may be characterized as data specifications for components as determined by the vehicle manufacturer. For example, standards data may include that a powertrain compressor may have a power consumption operating envelope of 500W to 12kW. Standards data may be stored by the health monitoring and intervention system 320 indefinitely.Attorney Docket No.: 259252.000177

[0036] In block 106, the health monitoring and intervention system 320 may determine one or more optimal ranges for a first vehicle component based on the first input data. The health monitoring and intervention system 320 may use one or more machine learning models to determine the one or more optimal ranges and / or one or more optimal thresholds. The one or more machine learning models used by health monitoring and intervention system 320 at block 106 may use the first input data received to generate one or more optimal ranges or optimal thresholds for the first vehicle component. The one or more machine learning models may also use training data which may be provided as part of the first input data or may be provided as separate data. The one or more machine learning models may be used by health monitoring and intervention system 320 to predict which data and what values of the first input data is indicative of future problems of the first vehicle component. For example, by receiving first input data over the past three months that the powertrain compressor on this vehicle has a power consumption operating envelope between 480 W and 11.75kW, the one or more machine learning models may generate that the optimal range for this powertrain compressor is 470W to 11.9 kW.

[0037] The optimal range may also be influenced by the standards data associated with the component provided by the manufacturer (500W to 12kW, as described with reference to block 104). However, the health monitoring and intervention system 320 may adjust optimal range from the standards data (e.g., the optimal range may be different from the standards data) to accommodate for operating differences between different components (e.g., as shown above the optimal range for the powertrain compressor of 470W to 11.9kW is different from the standards data of 500W to 12kW). The standards data provided by a manufacturer may be overly broad to capture a variety of operating conditions and accommodate the operation of the entire production of a vehicle component. The standards data may provide values that indicate errors in components (e.g., a malfunction indication). The present health monitoring and intervention system 320 may utilize the standards data to aid in forming an optimal range or optimal threshold, but standards data may not be dispositive in forming an optimal range or optimal threshold. The optimal ranges and thresholds of health monitoring and intervention system 320 may generally be more specific and / or narrower than standards data.

[0038] The health monitoring and intervention system 320 may use trend analysis to determine the one or more optimal ranges or one or more thresholds. For example, if coolant fan current is determined to be 10A at 80% power from first input data received in May, then in June, the currentAttorney Docket No.: 259252.000177 at 80% power is 10.2A, and then in July, the current at 80% power 10.6A, the health monitoring and intervention system 320 may use trend analysis to determine or extrapolate an appropriate optimal range or threshold (e.g., that current is increasing at an above-expected rate, and setting a current threshold at 80% power at 10.8A). Furthermore, the health monitoring and intervention system 320 may utilize several data points when making a determination of an optimal range or threshold (e.g., in the above example, the current is increase at an above-expected rate, but the outdoor air temperature received during July is hotter than May in the locations the vehicle is primarily driven, and hotter temperatures may lead to increased current, therefore setting the threshold for 80% power at 11A).

[0039] The one or more optimal ranges or one or more optimal thresholds may be static (e.g., fixed) or dynamic (e.g., regularly and iteratively changing). The health monitoring and intervention system 320 may be configured to run on a set schedule (e.g., once per day) and update optimal ranges and thresholds. The health monitoring and intervention system 320 may be configured to continuously run as new input data is acquired and constantly adjust the one or more optimal ranges and thresholds to accommodate for trends in how vehicle components operate.

[0040] In some embodiments, the health monitoring and intervention system 320 may generate a series of optimal ranges and / or optimal thresholds. For example, a first range or threshold may indicate an ideal operating condition, where no action is necessary to prevent degradation. A second range or threshold may indicate a potentially degrading operating condition, where the health monitoring and intervention system may monitor the input data of the component more frequently. A third range or threshold may indicate a degrading operating condition requiring intervention. In some embodiments, a first range or threshold may indicate a degrading operating condition requiring intervention, and a second range or threshold may indicate that the degrading operating condition is beyond the intervening capabilities of the health monitoring and intervention system 320. In some embodiments, the optimal ranges or thresholds generated by the health monitoring and intervention system 320 may include alternative guidance strategies such as limits, logical operators, and / or Boolean operators that require multiple inputs.

[0041] In some embodiments, the health monitoring and intervention system 320 may transmit the one or more optimal ranges and thresholds to individual modules of the vehicle.

[0042] In block 108, the health monitoring and intervention system 320 may receive second input data associated with the first vehicle component. The second input data may be current inputAttorney Docket No.: 259252.000177 data. The second input data may be live data associated with the first vehicle component (e.g., a current, voltage, flow rate, speed). The second input data may be more specific or a subset of the first vehicle data. The first vehicle data may be a large amount of data regarding every vehicle system that may be received or polled on a less frequent basis, but second vehicle data may be a subset of data determined to be significant to indicating component health that may be polled or received on a more frequent basis. If specific data is determined in block 106 by health monitoring and intervention system 320 to be useful for indicating the health of a component, the health monitoring system 320 may poll the individual module or system to receive the data on a more frequent basis. Receiving the second input data may be generally similar to receiving the first input data described with respect to block 102. Accordingly, block 108 may be otherwise similar in its respective description to block 102 and is not repeated herein for brevity. The health monitoring and intervention system 320 may store the data received in block 108 similar to as described with respect to block 104.

[0043] In block 110, the health monitoring and intervention system 320 may determine whether the first vehicle component is operating outside the one or more optimal ranges. The health monitoring and intervention system 320 may use the second input data for determining whether the first vehicle component is operating outside the one or more optimal ranges. For example, if optimal range for the powertrain compressor is 470W to 11.9kW, as determined in block 106, and the health monitoring and intervention system 320 receives second input data indicating that the powertrain compressor is operating at 12.5kW, then the health monitoring and intervention system 320 may determine that the powertrain compressor is operating outside the optimal range because the received second input data is greater than the upper limit of the range. Similarly, if the health monitoring and intervention system 320 receives second input data indicating that the powertrain compressor is operating at 200W, then the health monitoring and intervention system 320 may determine that the powertrain compressor is operating outside the optimal range because the received second input data is less than the upper limit of the range. The health monitoring and intervention system 320 may use similar determinations with thresholds. For example, if the upper threshold for current for the cooling fan is 10A, and the health monitoring and intervention system 320 receives second input data indicating that the current is 12 A, then the health monitoring and intervention system 320 may determination that the cooling fan is operating outside the one or more optimal ranges because the current is greater than the upper threshold.Attorney Docket No.: 259252.000177

[0044] If health monitoring and intervention system 320 determines that a specific vehicle component is outside an optimal range, then input data may be received, polled, or retrieved by health monitoring and intervention system 320 (e.g., at block 108) on a more frequent basis. In some embodiments, the health monitoring and intervention system 320 may dynamically determine to store some data for longer amounts of time than other data. For example, if health monitoring and intervention system 320 determines that input data regarding a first vehicle component is inside an optimal range, then input data may be stored for less time (e.g., at block 108) than input data regarding a second vehicle component determined to be outside an optimal range. This allows health monitoring and intervention system 320 to save storage space.

[0045] If the health monitoring and intervention system 320 determines that the first vehicle component is operating outside an optimal range, method 100 may continue to block 112. If the health monitoring and intervention system 320 determines that first vehicle component is operating within an optimal range, method 100 may continue to block 120.

[0046] In block 112, as a result of determining the first vehicle component is operating outside an optimal range, the health monitoring and intervention system 320 may modify an operating mode associated with the first vehicle component. The modified operating mode may be configured to reduce degradation of the first vehicle component. The modified operating mode may directly affect the operation of the first vehicle component (e.g., if the first vehicle component is a cooling fan, then the modified operating mode may adjust the speed of the cooling fan). Alternatively or additionally, the modified operating mode may affect the operation of other components or system related to the first vehicle component (e.g., if the first vehicle component is a water-cooled compressor, the modified operating mode may change the operation the coolant pump that pumps coolant to the compressor to increase flow to cool down the compressor). In some embodiments, the modified operating mode may include instructions that modify the operation of several components (e.g., if the first vehicle component is a cooling fan, the modified operating mode may include adjusting the maximum speed of the cooling fan to be limited to 90%, increasing the flow of a coolant pump to compensate for the maximum speed of the cooling fan being 90%, and increasing the typical speed of a second coolant fan by +10% over the speeds in a standard operating mode). Examples of modifications to the operating mode of a component may include: lowering power output (e.g., from a standard operating mode amount, such as a standard operating value less 10%), running a temporary program (e.g., a blockage reduction cycle orAttorney Docket No.: 259252.000177 bleeding cycle on a coolant pump), altering a start-up and shut-down routine (e.g., to generate less heat or cause less of an electrical load, but be slightly slower in performance), lower temperatures (e.g., by increasing coolant flow from a coolant pump or electric fan), and increasing lubrication (e.g., by increasing oil flow).

[0047] The modified operating mode may be intended to be unnoticeable to the user (e.g., the driver), and seamless (e.g., so that the user does not notice any difference in performance in the vehicle between a standard operating mode and the modified operating mode). By modifying the operating mode of the component, the health monitoring and intervention system 320 may preemptively repair components by adjusting the load on a component or adjusting how a component operates. This allows vehicle components to last longer, and may ultimately prevent the need for repair or replacement of components, saving the driver time (e.g., having to drive the vehicle to a shop for service and losing the use of the vehicle) and the manufacturer money (e.g., having to repair parts that may be under warranty). Furthermore, by preemptively preventing a component from failing completely, it may prevent more damaging failures (e.g., a minor short in a powertrain compressor may be prevented from progressively becoming worse to the point of damaging a main battery pack). Additionally, by optimizing vehicle components to run at optimal performance levels specific to each component, the health monitoring and intervention system 320 may also enhance the performance and efficiency of each component.

[0048] In some embodiments, the modification of the operating mode may be controlled by predetermined tables (e.g., tabular values indicate how to change the operation of a component if certain indications are detected). In some embodiments, the modification of the operation mode may be controlled by one or more machine learning models. The one or more machine learning models may have similar features to the machine learning models described with reference to block 106 or be different from the machine learning models as described with reference to block 106. The one or more machine learning models may be trained to manipulate or adjust the values the values of a standard operating mode to create a modified operating mode for a component to prevent degradation.

[0049] After modifying the operating mode to reduce degradation of the first vehicle component in block 112, the method 100 may return to block 108 to iteratively receive new input data. Blocks 108 and 110 may then be repeated to determine if the modification of the operating mode has reduced the degradation by allowing the first vehicle component to operate within theAttorney Docket No.: 259252.000177 one or more optimal ranges. Health monitoring and intervention system 320 may iterate different modifications of the operating mode repeatedly (e.g., by repeating blocks 108, 110, and 112) until finding a solution that allows the first vehicle component to operate within the one or more optimal ranges. If the health monitoring and intervention system 320 modifies the operating mode above a predetermined threshold number of times to attempt to prevent degradation of the first vehicle component, the health monitoring and intervention system 320 may transmit a message to the driver through the infotainment screen notifying the user that the first vehicle component is operating normally, but may require service in the future. If the health monitoring and intervention 320 is unable to modify the operating mode so that the first vehicle components operates within the one or more optimal ranges, the health monitoring and intervention system 320 may transmit a message to the driver through the infotainment screen notifying the user that the first vehicle component is operating normally, but outside an optimal range, and may require service in the future. In some embodiments, after making a modification to the operating mode, the method 100 may end.

[0050] In block 120, as a result of determining the first vehicle component is operating within an optimal range, the health monitoring and intervention system 320 may maintain the current operating mode of the vehicle. The first current operating mode (e.g., a primary operating mode) may be a standard operating mode (e.g., an operating mode used from when the vehicle is new and may be characterized by features and components operating at a fully functional and / or optimal level). As a result, the method 100 may end. In some embodiments, after block 120, the method 100 may return to block 108 (as shown via the dashed arrow in FIG. 1). The method 100 may return to block 108 on a schedule, as a result of a triggering action, or iteratively. In some embodiments, the health monitoring and intervention system 320 may constantly and iteratively receive additional (or new) second input data (or third input data, fourth input data, etc.) and the system may repeat steps 108 and 110 to determine if the additional or second input data indicates that the first vehicle component is outside the one or more optimal ranges and / or thresholds. The health monitoring and intervention system 320 may repeat blocks 112 and 120 as necessary (as determined by block 110) in order to keep the first vehicle component running optimally.

[0051] In multiple iterations of blocks 108, 110, 112, and 120, the operating mode of the first vehicle component may change multiple times. For example, during a first iteration with the second input data, the first vehicle component may be within the one or more optimal ranges, andAttorney Docket No.: 259252.000177 the health monitoring and intervention system 320 may maintain the current operating mode (e.g., via block 120). During a second iteration with third input data, the first vehicle component may be detected to be outside the one or more optimal ranges (at block 110), and the health monitoring and intervention system 320 may modify the operating mode to reduce degradation to be a first modified operating mode (at block 112). During a third iteration with fourth input data, received after a waiting period, the health monitoring and intervention system 320 may determine that the first vehicle component is within the one or more optimal ranges (at block 110) and that the current operating mode (e.g., the first modified operating mode from the second iteration) should be maintained (at block 120).

[0052] In some embodiments, in the multiple iterations, multiple ranges may be used. Using the above example, after some time, a 45thiteration occurs, receiving 46thinput data where the first vehicle component is outside a second optimal range different from the first optimal range (at block 110). The health monitoring and intervention system 320 proceeds to block 112 to further modify the current operating mode (e.g., the first modified operating mode from the second iteration). The vehicle then operates with a second modified operating mode.

[0053] In some embodiments, the health monitoring and intervention system 320 may iteratively rerun blocks 102 through 106 to verify that the one or more optimal ranges are still valid. This may incorporate new input data (e.g., the second input data). In some embodiments, health monitoring and intervention system 320 may perform blocks 102 through 106 and transmit the one or more optimal ranges to individual modules. The individual modules may then perform blocks 108 through 102 and transmit data regarding the second input data and operating mode to health monitoring and intervention system 320.

[0054] FIG. 2 is a flow diagram illustrating an exemplary method 200 for health monitoring and intervention for vehicles, in accordance with certain embodiments of the disclosed technology. The steps of method 200 may be performed by one or more components of the system 500 (e.g., health monitoring and intervention system 320), as described in more detail with respect to FIGS. 3-5.

[0055] Method 200 of FIG. 2 is similar to method 100 of FIG. 1, except that method 200 may not include blocks 108 or 114 of method 100. The descriptions of blocks 202, 204, 206, 208, and 210 in method 200 are similar to the respective descriptions of blocks 102, 104, 106, 108, and 110 of method 100 and are not repeated herein for brevity. However, blocks 212 and 220 are differentAttorney Docket No.: 259252.000177 from blocks 112 and 120 and are described below. Additional blocks 214 and 216 are further described below. Method 200 may be continuously repeated and iterated as the vehicle operates. Method 200 may be used with multiple types of vehicles include electric vehicles (EVs), plug-in hybrid vehicles (PHEV), and internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles.

[0056] Block 212 may describe different actions that health monitoring and intervention system 320 may, in various embodiments, take depending on the specific vehicle component implicated and / or the specific value or range that is received from the input data.

[0057] In block 212, the health monitoring and intervention system 320 may modify the operating parameters associated with the first vehicle component. Operating parameters may be instructions that the vehicle uses to control components and / or systems of the vehicle (e.g., digital messages transmitted over a vehicle network such as can-bus or ethemet). The operating parameters associated with the first vehicle component may be operating parameters directly associated with the operation of the first vehicle component or operating parameters regarding operations of systems that affect or are related to the first vehicle component. For example, if the first vehicle component is an oil pump with an auxiliary cooling fan, the health monitoring and intervention system 320 may directly alter operating parameters of the oil pump by limiting the pump’s maximum output to 90% instead of the full 100%. Alternatively or additionally, the health monitoring and intervention system 320 may alter operating parameters of components related to the oil pump. Accordingly, the health monitoring and intervention system 320 may increase the duty cycle of the fan cooling the oil pump to lower the temperature of the oil pump (e.g., from a normal duty cycle of 50% to an elevated duty cycle of 60%). In some embodiments, the health monitoring and intervention system 320 may modify more than one set of operating parameters associated with the first vehicle component. Accordingly, block 212 may be otherwise similar in its respective description to block 112 and is not repeated herein for brevity.

[0058] In block 214, the health monitoring and intervention system 320 may determine whether the number of parameter revisions exceed a predetermined threshold. In some embodiments, the health monitoring and intervention system 320 may monitor the number of times the operating parameters are changed in order for a component to maintain the one or more optimal ranges or optimal thresholds. If a component has an excessive number of parameter revisions, it may indicate a future problem with the component and / or system that may require service in the future. The predetermined threshold of parameter revisions may be specific to a type of vehicleAttorney Docket No.: 259252.000177 component or vehicle system (e.g., if a system is critical or non-critical), and may also be related to the number of revisions of the one or more optimal ranges or optimal thresholds. If the parameter revisions exceed the predetermined threshold, the method 200 may proceed to block 216. If the parameter revisions do not exceed the predetermined threshold, the method 200 may return to block 208 to receive second input data (or additional input data).

[0059] In block 216, the health monitoring and intervention system 320 may proactively notify the user (e.g., the driver) regarding the first vehicle component. If the parameter revisions exceed the predetermined threshold, the health monitoring and intervention system 320 may transmit a notification to the user (e.g., via the infotainment system) indicating the first vehicle component is operating normally, but may require service in the future. The notification may occur substantially before any functionality of the vehicle is lost. In some embodiments, after block 216, the method 200 may end. In some embodiments, after block 216, the method 200 may return to block 208 to continue to receive data and modify the operating parameters if necessary (

[0060] In block 220, the health monitoring and intervention system 320 may maintain the current operating parameters of the vehicle. The first current operating parameters may be operating parameters that are used by the vehicle when in a peak condition (and no degradation has occurred). The current operating parameters may change as operating parameters are changed to prevent degradation in block 212. Accordingly, block 220 may be otherwise similar in its respective description to block 120 and is not repeated herein for brevity.

(Decision trees may comprise a data structure mapping observations about something, in the "branch" of the tree, to conclusions about that thing's target value, in the "leaves" of the tree.) Each tree may depend on the values of a random vector sampled independently and with the same distribution for all trees in the forest. Prediction models may also include artificial neural networks. Artificial neural networks may model input / output relationships of variables and parameters by generating a number of interconnected nodes which contain an activation function. The activation function of a node may define a resulting output of that node given an argument or a set of arguments. Artificial neural networks may generate patterns to the network via an 'input layer', which communicates to one or more "hidden layers" where the system determines regressions via a weighted connections. Prediction models may additionally or alternatively include classification and regression trees, or other types of models known to those skilled in the art. To generate prediction models, the health monitoring and intervention system may analyze information applying machine-learning methods.

[0105] The following example use cases describe examples of a typical flow pattern using the above predictive system. This section is intended solely for explanatory purposes and not in limitation.Example 1 - Powertrain Compressor

[0106] In one example, a vehicle monitors a powertrain compressor and transmits data regarding the powertrain compressor over time to the health monitoring and intervention system 320 (e.g., at block 102), which stores the data (e.g., at block 104). The powertrain compressor in normal use draws between 5A and 25A of current. The fuse limit of the powertrain compressor isAttorney Docket No.: 259252.00017740A. After the data has been gathered, the health monitoring and intervention system 320 determines an optimal range for the current of the powertrain compressor is between 5A and 22A (e.g., at block 106). On the next drive, which is on a hot day with a temperature of 92 degrees Fahrenheit, the powertrain compressor quickly ramps up to full power and draws 28A of current, which is received at health monitoring and intervention system 320 (e.g., at block 108). The health monitoring and intervention system 320 determines that the 28A of current is outside the optimal range of 5A to 22A because 28 A is larger than the upper bound of the optimal range (e.g., at block 110). The health monitoring and intervention system 320 then adjusts the operating mode of the powertrain compressor such that on days where the temperature is greater than 80 degrees Fahrenheit, the start-up process of the powertrain compressor begins more slowly (over 10 seconds instead of the typical 5 seconds) (e.g., at block 112). During the next week, there is day where the temperature is 87 degrees Fahrenheit, and the powertrain compressor is started more slowly and draws 20A of current (e.g., at block 108). The health monitoring and intervention system 320 determines that the powertrain compressor is operating with the optimal range of 5A to 22A because 20A is less than 22A (e.g., at block 110). Therefore, the health monitoring and intervention system 320 maintains the settings for the powertrain compressor to start-up over 10 seconds when the temperature is greater than 80 degrees Fahrenheit (e.g., block 120). By preventing the powertrain compressor from drawing excess current, the powertrain compressor will have less degradation over time and will last longer. The driver is unaware of any change to the operation of the vehicle.Example 2 Drive Unit Oil Pump

[0107] In electric and hybrid vehicles, an electric motor may be the primary motor used for propulsion. FIG. 6 illustrates an example electric propulsion system 600. The electric motor 622 may be part of a drive unit (DU) 620 which combines the electric motor 622 with a gear box 624 and oil pump 626, providing rotational motion to the wheels 630. The electric motor may be powered by an electric vehicle high-voltage battery 650 via a junction box 640 with a drive inverter (DI) 610 providing control via inputs provided by a vehicle controller or vehicle control unit (VCU) 660. The vehicle controller may connect to other parts of the vehicle via the vehicle network 670, which may be similar to vehicle network 506. In the DU 620, the oil pump 626 may be used to cool the gearbox 624, motor 622 (e.g., the stator-rotor assembly), geartrain (gears, shafts, bearings), and differential. In some examples, the oil pump 626 may be controlled directlyAttorney Docket No.: 259252.000177 by the DI 610, but can also be controlled by the VCU 660, which may be able to control non-high voltage loads (e.g., 5V, 12V, 24V, and 48V). Accordingly, in an example electric vehicle, a predictive system (e.g., health monitoring and intervention system 320), which may be separate or integrated into the VCU 660 or other modules, may react to detected degraded oil pump performance and make corrections to enhance performance. If the oil pump has degraded performance, there may be reduced output flow, affecting gearbox lubrication, part longevity, gearbox cooling, stator / rotor cooling, causing increased wear and tear, and overall degraded vehicle performance.

[0108] In this example, the system continuously monitors pump flow output via a CAN-bus, LIN-bus, Ethernet, or analog channels (or over a vehicle network e.g., vehicle network 670). Input data from sensors may be correlated to indicate pump flow (e.g., a received or indicated voltage, amperage, or resistance at the VCU may correlate to pump flow in liters per minute or gallons per minute). Accordingly, the system may store or derive an expected performance of the pump (e.g., an expected pump flow in liters per minute) for a specific requested output (e.g., 50% overall power). The system may track the actual performance of the pump (e.g., an actual pump flow in liters per minute) for a specific requested output over time. The system may generate a trendline related to performance over time (e.g., for a particular output). Accordingly, when graphed, the actual performance over time may be expected to trend linearly and horizontally (e.g., a trendline corresponding to flow rate performance may have a near zero slope for a specific requested output). If the pump output begins to degrade, inflection points may occur where the trendline begins to slope negatively, indicating that pump output in slowing for a specific requested output. Accordingly, the system may determine the difference between the pump flow and a standard performance of the pump by comparing the trendline with an expected performance. Accordingly, the predictive system may calculate degradation as a percentage and may alert other vehicle systems (e.g., the VCU) of the anomaly. The system may begin alerting other vehicle systems with degradations as small as less than 1%, 1-2%, 2-3%, or more. As such, the system may be able to detect degradation far before it would be perceived by the user.

[0109] The predictive system may also calculate expected degradation, which may be related to usage models (e.g., expected degradation after time, mileage, or duty cycles). The predictive system may compare the trendline of the actual performance over time to the expected performanceAttorney Docket No.: 259252.000177 given the expected degradation. If the calculated degradation is below the expected performance given the expected degradation, the predictive system may begin alerting other vehicle systems.

[0110] The predictive system may send instructions or signals to other vehicle systems to minimize performance loss, reduce downtime, increase component longevity, and minimize the chance of catastrophic utility loss. Accordingly, the instructions may be grouped into a series of different levels. The predictive system may send instructions, monitor the vehicle performance (or pump performance), and make modifications to the instructions to further enhance performance if necessary.[OHl] At a first intervention level, as shown in FIG. 7A, the predictive system may increase the pump performance by driving the pump incrementally faster to overcome the lesser flow rate. The pump speed may be proportional to a driving voltage. Accordingly, the predictive system may provide instructions to the VCU, DI, and / or other parts to increase the driving voltage (or power) of the pump. There may be one or more sublevels within the first level. As such, for a typical voltage of 13.5V for a specific requested output (L0), the predictive system may increase the pump to 14V at a first sublevel (Ll.l) if degradation is detected. The predictive system may monitor whether the increased voltage reduces the degradation and returns the flow rate to a standard level. If the increased voltage at the first sublevel is ineffective at correcting the degradation, the predictive system may increase the pump to 14.5V at a second sublevel (LI.2) and remeasure the flow rate. If this is still ineffective, the predictive system may increase the pump to 15V at a third sublevel (LI.3) and remeasure the flow rate. If any of the sublevels return the pump to a standard operating status, the predictive system may continue to monitor the operation and continue to provide instructions to maintain the pump’s operation according to the desired sublevel.

[0112] In the event that the instructions at the first intervention level fail to overcome the pump degradation, the predictive system may resort to a second intervention level, which may include additional instructions. The second intervention level, as shown in FIG. 7B, may include reversing the flow of the pump. Reversing the pump flow may clear debris that have been caught in the oil pump filter or in other portions of the lubrication circuit. In this case, the DI may utilize bidirectional drivers to swap the logic to drive the motor of the pump in reverse. Several different flow and pulse frequencies may be used to purge the oil pump filter (e.g., low frequency switching, high frequency switching, switching between lower voltages). Accordingly, the second intervention level may include both high and low frequency reversing actions, as shown by theAttorney Docket No.: 259252.000177 different lines in FIG. 7B. These may vary in ramp-rates, pump flow speed, and duration. The predictive system may continue to monitor the operation of the pump after reverse flow is attempted to determine whether standard operation has resumed. The second level interventions may be completed at times where the change in operation would be unknown to the user (e.g., when the vehicle is not moving, at idle, or moving slowly).

[0113] Throughout the first two intervention levels, the predictive system may maintain the torque output of the electric motor, as shown in FIG. 7C. In the event that the instructions at the second intervention level fail to overcome the pump degradation, the predictive system may resort to instructions associated with a third intervention level. The third intervention level, as shown in FIG. 7D, may include adjustments to the torque ramp rate of the electric motor (e.g., slowing the acceleration of the motor speed or smoothing sharp changes in motor speed). By adjusting the torque ramp rate of the motor, less heat may be introduced, lessening the dependence on the oil pump to circulate the oil and remove the heat produced. For example, decreasing the change of torque over time and decreasing the ramp rate reduces gear friction, reducing frictional heating and wear and tear. Accordingly, the torque curve of the electric motor may include increased curvature (as compared to typical operation shown in FIG. 7C). In addition, the operation of the electric motor may change during regeneration or recuperation in a similar manner to reduce wear and tear and to lower fluid temperature. The user may be notified that higher performance modes (e.g., sport or track mode) of the vehicle may not exhibit full performance on a temporary basis. Normal driving of the vehicle may be unchanged and unnoticed by the user. The predictive system may continue to monitor the operation of the pump after the third intervention level controls are attempted to determine whether standard operation has resumed. FIG. 7E shows a graph of the oil pump flow rate during the first three intervention levels, the time at which pump began to show degradation (0), and the first three sublevels of the first intervention level (1, 2, 3).

[0114] In the event that the third intervention level instructions fail to overcome the pump degradation, the predictive system may resort to a fourth intervention level. The fourth invention level may include instructions with combinations of the instructions from the prior three levels, and additional functions as shown in Table 1 below:Attorney Docket No.: 259252.000177Table 1: Level 4 OperationThe designated time may be a predetermined set value or may be a value determined by predictive system. The value may be determined by an estimated period of time that the oil pump may be shut down before overheating occurs. In the event that all attempts of the fourth invention level do not return the pump to standard operation, the user may be notified of an impending oil pump issue and may be recommended to take the vehicle in for service. In some embodiments, a machine learning model may be used, as describe above to modify the different levels, the different ranges triggering the different levels, the order of the different levels, the expected performance, the designated time, and / or the user notification.Example 3 - Pneumatic Air System

[0115] Some vehicles may include a pneumatic compressed air system, which may be used to provide a variety of features, such as air suspension, tire inflation, or air braking. Commercial vehicles, such as a Class 8 heavy duty long-haul semi -truck and industry vehicles (e.g., mining vehicles) may rely on these features for operation. Accordingly, internal combustion, electric, and hybrid variants of these vehicles may include a predictive system (e.g., health monitoring and intervention system 320) for use with the compressed air system.

[0116] In the aforementioned vehicles, as shown in FIG. 8A, a pneumatic system 800 may include a vehicle controller (VCU) 802, a pneumatic control unit 804, a high-voltage battery 806, and a thermal system 808. The pneumatic system may include an air compressor system (ACS) 810. The ACS may include a scroll air compressor (with an orbiting scroll pack 822 and stationary scroll pack 824 within a thermal jacket and housing 820) powered by an ACS motor 814. The ACS motor may be controlled by a motor controller 812 with signals from a pneumatic control unit 804Attorney Docket No.: 259252.000177 or VCU 802, and may be supplied power from the high-voltage battery 806. From the compressor output, compressed air may travel through an air dryer 830, a series of one or more valves 840, and be stored in one or more tanks 850. Multiple loads may be supplied by the ACS 810, such as an air horn 861, tire inflation system 862, trailer auxiliary air system 863, a tractor brake system 864, a trailer brake system 865, a tractor air suspension system 866, a driver seat system 867, and a trailer pin engagement system 868. The pneumatic system 800 may also include a thermal control system, which may also be part of thermal system 808 and / or part of the ACS 810, which monitors and controls temperatures throughout the pneumatic system 800 and air compressor system 810 with data provided by a variety of temperature sensors. The thermal system may be managed by vehicle controller 802 and may include two coolant pumps: a motor coolant pump 872 to supply coolant to the ACS motor 814 and a scroll compressor coolant pump 874 to supply coolant to the scroll compressor (e.g., thermal jacket and housing 820). Because the ACS supplies power to vital functions (e.g., in a Claim 8 semi-truck: the tractor brake system, the trailer brake system, the tire inflation system, and the tractor air suspension system), a failure could be catastrophic and could result in a crash.

[0117] The compressed air output temperature is measured by one or more sensors continuously. When the compressed air output is too hot, it indicates a malfunction with the compressor or other portion of the system and must be fixed. Accordingly, in some cases the driver must discontinue driving to rectify the problem. In this example, the predictive system may take preliminary actions to correct the problem while the driver continues traveling. As the predictive system receives output air temperature data, it may determine an average temperature over time. The average temperature may be considered standard when in a specific temperature range, which may be determined by prior or pre-calibrated data, or data from multiple vehicles. In some embodiments, a machine learning model may determine the standard temperature range. Accordingly, the predictive system may determine that the output air temperature suggests an abnormal condition when it increases overtime. When the predictive system determines that the output air temperature is trending upward, and it cannot be explained for other reasons (e.g., high duty cycle, high exterior temperature), the predictive system may determine that taking remedial action is necessary.

[0118] At a first intervention level, the prediction system may attempt to manage heat transfer from the ACS motor to the scroll compressor. Accordingly, the prediction system may transmitAttorney Docket No.: 259252.000177 instructions to increase the ACS motor coolant pump speed incrementally to remove additional heat introduced by the ACS motor from the system, similar to the graph of flow rate over time as shown in FIG. 9A. The prediction system may have multiple sublevels at the first intervention level (e.g., three sublevels, each higher level increasing the pump speed by 10%, shown at Ti, T2, and T3 in FIG. 9A). The prediction system may monitor the temperature to determine whether increasing the coolant pump speed has caused the increase in temperature to abate. If the temperature has returned to a normal level, the prediction system may allow the ACS motor coolant pump to continue to operate at the higher level. If the temperature continues to increase, the prediction system may continue to other intervention levels.

[0119] At a second intervention level, the prediction system may attempt to manage heat generated by the scroll compressor. Accordingly, the prediction system may transmit instructions to increase the scroll compressor coolant pump speed incrementally to remove additional heat introduced by the scroll compressor, similar to the graph of flow rate over time as shown in FIG. 9A. The prediction system may have multiple sublevels at the first intervention level (e.g., three sublevels, each higher level increasing the pump speed by 10%%, shown at Ti, T2, and T3 in FIG. 9A). The prediction system may monitor the temperature to determine whether increasing the coolant pump speed has caused the increase in temperature to abate. If the temperature has returned to a normal level, the prediction system may allow the scroll compressor coolant pump to continue to operate at the higher level. The prediction system may determine an optimized approach by using a combination of sublevels of the first intervention level and the second intervention level. For example, the prediction system may determine that the first sublevel of the first level and the second sublevel of the second level in combination provide the most efficient control of the increased temperature (e.g., controlling the temperature while minimizing power usage of the two coolant pumps). If the temperature continues to increase, the prediction system may continue to other intervention levels.

[0120] At a third intervention level, the prediction system may attempt to use a strategy to clear foreign object debris or clogs from the compressor or other parts of the ACS. Accordingly, the prediction system may transmit instructions to cause the ACS motor and / or scroll compressor to pulse at low and high speeds (RPMs) with abrupt speed changes (e.g., from full flow to zero flow and back to full flow), as shown in FIG. 9B (showing the motor RPM pulsing and the associated changes in output mass flow rate from the compressor). By varying the output in thisAttorney Docket No.: 259252.000177 manner, the prediction system may be able to dislodge the clogging debris, thereby overcoming flow limitations causing the increase of temperature. Accordingly, if the prediction system is able to reduce temperatures, then operation of the ACS may be returned to normal (or a variation of the first and second intervention levels). If the temperature continues to increase, the prediction system may continue to other intervention levels.

[0121] At a fourth intervention level, the prediction system may attempt to use a strategy to clean the ACS. The ACS may include an air dryer, which may include filters and desiccants to clean and dry the air within the ACS, as controlled by a purge valve. Accordingly, the prediction system may transmit instructions to cause the purge valve to open more frequently than normal. By increasing the purge valve frequency to more than the normal frequency (e.g., three to four times the typical frequency used with a typically operating system), the ACS may be able to dissolve any contaminants or salts blocking the flow within the system (e.g., debris creating back pressure and loading the compressor, causing an increase in heat). Accordingly, if the increase in purge valve operation reduces temperatures, then operation of the ACS may be returned to normal (or a variation of the prior intervention levels). If the temperature continues to increase, the prediction system may continue to other intervention levels.

[0122] At a fifth intervention level, if none of the prior intervention levels have resulted in reducing the temperature, the prediction system may attempt to use a strategy to reduce load on the ACS. Accordingly, the prediction system may transmit instructions to reduce non-critical loads to lower demand on the ACS (e.g., if equipped, reduce pressure to the driver air-ride seating system). The prediction system may reduce motor and compressor RPM incrementally, as shown in FIG. 9C. For example, the prediction system may transmit instructions to reduce the motor RPM by 5% and monitor the temperature. If the temperature does not decline or stabilize, the prediction system may reduce the RPM by a further 10% and monitor the temperature. If the temperature does not decline or stabilize, the prediction system may reduce the RPM by a further 10% and monitor the temperature. The prediction system may reduce the ACS RPM as necessary while still maintaining adequate performance of vital components (e.g., air brakes). At any point during the fifth intervention level, the prediction system may send instructions to notify the driver that the ACS is operating outside the optimal range, earlier intervention methods have failed, and / or service is advised at the next available opportunity. The prediction system may notify fleet management that the vehicle requires the ACS system to be reviewed at the next scheduled service.Attorney Docket No.: 259252.000177By using the above predictive system, issues within the ACS system can be discovered and corrected for without requiring the vehicle to make an emergency stop, minimalizing operational disturbance. One or more machine learning models may be used to make the determinations of the prediction system, and may revise the interventional levels (e.g., the order) in order to enhance system efficiency or safety.
