A distributed system for monitoring and control of a vehicle includes a supervisory controller with a first computer readable storage media for monitoring and storing a plurality of operational parameters regarding a physical system of the vehicle. The supervisory controller communicates with a server via two different communications networks. Method steps are provided for characterizing and predicting functional details of a system state of the physical system using the model parameters and at least one operational parameter of the physical system, and for using values obtained by the server regarding a plurality of different vehicles in order to improve the monitoring and control of the vehicle. A method is also provided to determine and report any operational parameters miss a corresponding performance target. A method is also provided for changing the storage or transmission of operational parameters based on their relative importance.

Distributed monitoring and control of a vehicle

A distributed system for monitoring and control of a vehicle having a plurality of physical systems, and a plurality of subsystems includes a supervisory controller with a first computer readable storage media for monitoring and storing a plurality of operational parameters. The supervisory controller communicates with a server a communications networks. A first method includes storing historical data in a database; simulating the physical system within the vehicle using a functional model; and continuously improving the model. Specific implementations of the first method include the physical system being a hydraulic system, an internal combustion engine, and a battery module. A second method includes storing historical data in a database; estimating a transfer function characterizing the behavior of a physical system; and diagnosing a subsystem as having a failure or a degradation. A third method includes monitoring operation actions related to safety, productivity, and efficiency. A fifth method includes operator training.
