Abstract

Vehicular maintenance is predicted using real time telematics data and historical maintenance data. Different statistical models are used, and an intersecting set of results is generated. Environmental weather may also be used to further refine predictions.

Claims (34)

1. A method, comprising:

obtaining, by a vehicle controller comprising a processor, sensor data associated with a vehicle;

obtaining, by the vehicle controller, maintenance data associated with the vehicle;

obtaining, by the vehicle controller, weather data associated with the vehicle, wherein the weather data comprises humidity data; and

generating, by the vehicle controller, using a machine learning model, a prediction for a group of components of the vehicle for maintenance of the vehicle based on the sensor data, the weather data, and the maintenance data.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the weather data further comprises precipitation data.

3. The method of claim 1 , further comprising wirelessly sending, by the vehicle controller, the prediction for the group of components of the vehicle for the maintenance from the vehicle via a communications network to a remote server.

4. The method of claim 1 , further comprising generating, by the vehicle controller, a webpage by the vehicle controller, the webpage describing the prediction for the group of components of the vehicle for the maintenance.

5. The method of claim 1 , further comprising generating, by the vehicle controller, a graphical user interface for a display of the prediction for the group of components of the vehicle for the maintenance.

6. The method of claim 1 , further comprising recommending, by the vehicle controller, a service appointment associated with the prediction for the group of components of the vehicle for the maintenance.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the machine learning model comprises a random forest algorithm.

8. A system, comprising:

a processor; and

a memory, coupled to the processor, that stores executable instructions, that when executed by the processor, facilitate performance of operations, comprising:

retrieving sensor data associated with a vehicle;

retrieving maintenance data associated with the vehicle;

retrieving weather data associated with the vehicle, wherein the weather data comprises precipitation data; and

generating, using a machine learning model, a prediction for components of the vehicle for maintenance based on the sensor data, the weather data, and the maintenance data.

9. The system of claim 8 , wherein the weather data further comprises humidity data.

10. The system of claim 8 , wherein the operations further comprise generating a webpage describing the prediction for the components of the vehicle for the maintenance.

11. The system of claim 10 , wherein the operations further comprise displaying the webpage describing the prediction in the vehicle.

12. The system of claim 8 , wherein the operations further comprise generating a user interface describing the prediction for the components of the vehicle for the maintenance.

13. The system of claim 12 , wherein the operations further comprise displaying the user interface describing the prediction in the vehicle.

14. The system of claim 8 , wherein the machine learning model comprises employs a random forest algorithm.

15. The system of claim 8 , wherein the operations further comprise recommending a service appointment associated with the components of the vehicle for the maintenance.

16. A non-transitory computer-readable medium having instructions stored thereon that, when executed by a processor, facilitate performance of operations, comprising:

retrieving sensor data associated with a vehicle;

retrieving maintenance data associated with the vehicle;

retrieving weather data associated with the vehicle, wherein the weather data comprises precipitation data and humidity data; and

generating, using a machine learning model, a prediction for a components of the vehicle for maintenance based on the sensor data, the weather data, and the maintenance data.

17. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 16 , wherein the weather data further comprises outdoor temperature data.

18. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 16 , wherein the operations further comprise displaying a user interface, via a display device of the vehicle, the user interface describing the prediction.

19. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 16 , wherein the machine learning model comprises a random forest algorithm.

20. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 16 , wherein the operations further comprise recommending a service appointment for the components of the vehicle for the maintenance.
