Abstract

A system for managing vehicle data collection. The system includes: a vehicle having a network comprising a plurality of end points, and a controller. The controller includes: an automation management circuit structured to provide an automated action plan; an automation execution circuit structured to provide an automation command in response to the automated action plan; and an automation continuity circuit structured to determine whether an automation interruption event has occurred, and to provide an automation continuity command in response to the automation interruption event.

Claims (39)

1 . A system, comprising:

a vehicle having a network comprising a plurality of end points;

a controller, comprising:

an automation management circuit structured to provide an automated action plan;

an automation execution circuit structured to provide an automation command in response to the automated action plan; and

an automation continuity circuit structured to determine whether an automation interruption event has occurred, and to provide an automation continuity command in response to the automation interruption event.

2 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the automation continuity circuit is further structured to provide the automation continuity command as a cancel command.

3 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the automation continuity circuit is further structured to provide the automation continuity command as a restart command.

4 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the automation continuity circuit is further structured to provide the automation continuity command as a stage command comprising a stage of the automated action plan at which the automated action plan is to be resumed.

5 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the automation continuity circuit is further structured to provide the automation continuity command as a continuation command.

6 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the automation interruption event comprises a vehicle shutdown event.

7 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the automation interruption event comprises a trigger event interruption for a trigger event associated with the automated action plan.

8 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the automation interruption event comprises an operational interruption event comprising an indication of at least one of:

a determination that a vehicle operating condition precludes completion of the automated action plan,

a determination that a vehicle operating condition precludes continuation of the automated action plan, or

a determination that a vehicle operating condition precludes execution of at least one aspect of the automated action plan.

9 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the automated action plan comprises a portion of a policy, wherein the policy comprises a continuity description, and wherein the automation continuity circuit is further structured to determine whether the automation interruption event has occurred in response to the continuity description.

10 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the automated action plan comprises a portion of a policy, wherein the policy comprises a continuity description, and wherein the automation continuity circuit is further structured to provide the automation continuity command in response to the continuity description.

11 . A method, comprising:

providing an automated action plan for a vehicle having a network with a plurality of endpoints;

providing an automation command in response to the automated action plan;

determining whether an automation interruption event has occurred; and

providing an automation continuity command in response to the automation interruption event.

12 . The method of claim 11 , wherein providing the automation continuity command comprises:

providing the automation continuity command as a cancel command.

13 . The method of claim 11 , wherein providing the automation continuity command comprises:

providing the automation continuity command as a restart command.

14 . The method of claim 11 , wherein providing the automation continuity command comprises:

providing the automation continuity command as a stage command comprising a stage of the automated action plan at which the automated action plan is to be resumed.

15 . The method of claim 11 , wherein providing the automation continuity command comprises:

providing the automation continuity command as a continuation command.

16 . The method of claim 11 , wherein the automation interruption event comprises a vehicle shutdown event.

17 . The method of claim 11 , wherein the automation interruption event comprises a trigger event interruption for a trigger event associated with the automated action plan.

18 . The method of claim 11 , wherein the automation interruption event comprises an operational interruption event comprising an indication of at least one of:

a determination that a vehicle operating condition precludes completion of the automated action plan,

a determination that a vehicle operating condition precludes continuation of the automated action plan, or

a determination that a vehicle operating condition precludes execution of at least one aspect of the automated action plan.

19 . The method of claim 11 , wherein the automated action plan comprises a portion of a policy, wherein the policy comprises a continuity description, and wherein determining whether an automation interruption event has occurred is in response to the continuity description.

20 . The method of claim 11 , wherein the automated action plan comprises a portion of a policy, wherein the policy comprises a continuity description, and wherein providing the automation continuity command in response to the continuity description.
