“…Additionally, flight servicing between missions could be accelerated by reducing the time necessary to determine the condition of the aircraft. However, the use of health monitoring tools has proven to be counterproductive on some cases (Swearingen and Keller, 2007;Keller et al, 2001), making the flight servicing longer and more unpredictable, with the latter possibly being the most disruptive side-effect.…”

Health monitoring tools can be used to diagnose failures and estimate the remaining useful life of certain components, generating information that can be used to improve the management of logistics and maintenance activities in what is known as Integrated Vehicle Health Management (IVHM). The work presented here analyzes the effect of military practices and regulations on the benefits that can be expected from installing health monitoring tools on military aircraft. The findings on the impact of the military environment on short-term and medium-term goals of maintainers and operators are key to produce an accurate and reliable Cost-Benefit Analysis (CBA) for IVHM technology. The results of this work are based on information obtained through the use of a questionnaire to gather the knowledge of experts in the field and by studying military standards. Secondary benefits of implementing IVHM have been studied in detail to provide a guide of which are really relevant when working on a CBA and which can be ignored. The transition from current Condition Based Maintenance (CBM) practices included in military standards to the use of continuous health monitoring tools is also discussed. The effect of current outsourcing practices, such as availability contracts, is taken into account in the analysis of these issues.

The automotive industry has seen enormous growth in the size and complexity of electrical and electronic system architectures. As complexity increases the problem of diagnosing faults in a vehicle's electrical and electronic systems is becoming increasingly difficult. Many faults are as a result of system-level disturbances or interactions that are difficult to interpret and diagnose using existing component-level diagnostics which have been traditionally focused on mechanical system diagnostics. The problem of rising complexity is exacerbated by increasing inservice warranty periods with some automotive OEMs now offering 5 or 7 year, or even 'life-time' warranties. This paper discusses the need for a new system-level approach to the management of faults in a vehicle's networked electronic systems and how this might be achieved by using the data that flows over a vehicle's data networks. This paper compares different industry approaches to system-level health monitoring of complex distributed computing environments and presents a proposal for the application of health monitoring to an automotive electrical and electronic architecture.

“…It is important that a synergy is realized between the IVHM system and these low-level systems and, as well, with vehicle instrumentations that are designed with other functional purposes (e.g. control) so that these can share sensors and data processing capabilities [22,55,56].…”

Integrated Vehicle Health Management (IVHM) is the collection of data relevant to the present and future performance of a vehicle system and its transformation into information that can be used to support operational decisions. This design and operation concept embraces an integration of sensors, communication technologies and artificial intelligence in order to provide vehicle-wide abilities to diagnose problems and recommend solutions. This paper aims to report the state-of-the-art of IVHM research by presenting a systematic review of the literature. Literature from different sources is collated and analysed, and the major emerging themes are presented. On this basis, the paper describes the IVHM concept and its evolution, discusses configurations and existing applications along with potential benefits and barriers to adoption, summarises design guidelines and available methods, and identifies future research challenges.
