Abstract

The safety and efficiency of transportation will be enhanced by revolutionary systems that provide on-line health management of vehicle systems. Creare's Online Health Management (OHM) Toolkit facilitates the assembly of a such a system, through the creation of a distributed network-based data processing structure, which is completely described by semantic metadata. This approach enables the system to intelligently interpret diagnostic and prognostic information and to dynamically generate online reports for a wide range of users.The object-oriented paradigm employed by Creare's software, provides numerous advantages over current custom written systems, including reduced development time and cost, reduced learning curves, reduced bandwidth requirements through distributed processing, and increased data availability through data buffering and web-based report delivery.In Phase I we demonstrated the feasibility of this approach by developing and testing prototype software. We accomplished this by building on Creare's previously developed, patented, and award-winning RBNB? middleware software. We augmented this enabling technology with an easy-to-use graphical user interface (GUI) for configuring online health-monitoring systems.During Phase II of this project, we will complete development of the software to produce a commercial-grade package. We will then test the OHM tools by creating health-management systems for a number of demonstration applications.
