Abstract

A system ( 1600 ) and method ( 960 ) for utilizing data from on-vehicle and off-vehicle sources to identify problematic devices and to execute automated mitigations is disclosed herein. The system ( 1620 ) comprises assigning authority engine ( 1105 ) for a vehicle ( 1000 ), a device ( 110 ) for the vehicle ( 1000 ), one or more databases ( 1615 ), and more or more cloud sources ( 1175 ). The assigning authority engine ( 1105 ) is configured to analyze the data based on a plurality of pre-defined patterns to identify a malfunctioning device and to transmit a mitigation strategy for the malfunctioning device.

Claims (40)

1. A method for utilizing data from on-vehicle and off-vehicle sources to identify problematic devices and to execute automated mitigations, the method comprising:

accessing data, at an assigning authority for a vehicle, the data from at least one source of a plurality of sources, the plurality of sources comprising engine data, mobile device data, location management unit (LMU) data, and hours of service (HOS) data;

analyzing, at the assigning authority, the data based on a plurality of pre-defined patterns to identify a malfunctioning device;

generating, at the assigning authority, a mitigation strategy for the malfunctioning device; and

transmitting, from the assigning authority, the mitigation strategy for the malfunctioning device.

2. The method according to claim 1 further comprising performing the mitigation strategy for the malfunctioning device.

3. The method according to claim 1 wherein the mitigation strategy is a plurality of actions.

4. The method according to claim 1 wherein the mitigation strategy is a single action.

5. The method according to claim 1 wherein the malfunctioning device is associated with the vehicle.

6. A system for utilizing data from on-vehicle and off-vehicle sources to identify problematic devices and to execute automated mitigations, the system comprising:

assigning authority engine for a vehicle;

a device for a vehicle;

one or more databases;

one or more cloud sources;

wherein the assigning authority engine is configured to access data from at least one source of a plurality of sources, the plurality of sources comprising engine data, mobile device data, LMU data, and HOS data;

wherein the assigning authority engine is configured to analyze the data based on a plurality of pre-defined patterns to identify a malfunctioning device;

wherein the assigning authority engine is configured to generate a mitigation strategy for the malfunctioning device; and

wherein the assigning authority engine is configured to transmit the mitigation strategy for the malfunctioning device.

7. The system according to claim 6 wherein device is configured to perform the mitigation strategy for the malfunctioning device.

8. The system according to claim 6 wherein the mitigation strategy is a plurality of actions.

9. The system according to claim 6 wherein the mitigation strategy is a single action.

10. The system according to claim 6 wherein the malfunctioning device is associated with the vehicle.

11. A non-transitory computer-readable medium that stores a program that causes a processor to perform functions to utilize data from on-vehicle and off-vehicle sources to identify problematic devices and to execute automated mitigations by executing the following steps:

accessing data, at an assigning authority for a vehicle, data from at least one source of a plurality of sources, the plurality of sources comprising engine data, mobile device data, LMU data, and HOS data;

analyzing, at the assigning authority, the data based on a plurality of pre-defined patterns to identify a malfunctioning device;

generating, at the assigning authority, a mitigation strategy for the malfunctioning device; and

transmitting, from the assigning authority, the mitigation strategy for the malfunctioning device.

12. The non-transitory computer readable medium according to claim 11 further comprising performing the mitigation strategy for the malfunctioning device.

13. The non-transitory computer readable medium according to claim 11 wherein the mitigation strategy is a plurality of actions.

14. The non-transitory computer readable medium according to claim 11 wherein the mitigation strategy is a single action.

15. The non-transitory computer readable medium according to claim 11 wherein the malfunctioning device is associated with the vehicle.

16. A method for utilizing data from on-vehicle and off-vehicle sources to identify problematic devices and to execute automated mitigations, the method comprising:

accessing data, at an assigning authority for a vehicle, data from at least one source of a plurality of sources, the plurality of sources comprising on-board data and off-board data;

analyzing, at the assigning authority, the data based on a plurality of pre-defined patterns to identify a malfunctioning component for a vehicle;

generating, at the assigning authority, a mitigation strategy for the malfunctioning component; and

transmitting, from the assigning authority, the mitigation strategy for the malfunctioning component.

17. The method according to claim 16 further comprising performing the mitigation strategy for the malfunctioning component.

18. The method according to claim 16 wherein the mitigation strategy is a plurality of actions.

19. The method according to claim 16 wherein the mitigation strategy is a single action.

20. The method according to claim 16 wherein the malfunctioning component is associated with the vehicle.
