Using transport telematics and remote diagnostics to improve vehicle maintenance and repair

Abstract

The article considers the possibility of using planned-prevention system in modern conditions. The system of vehicle telematics and remote diagnostics allows you to automate the getting of correction coefficients to determine the standard values of labor intensity of maintenance and repair and make calculations with high accuracy. The mileage before major repairs or write-off of the vehicle set by the manufacturer is also corrected for coefficients. The use tools of navigation allows you to determine the location of the vehicle in the coordinates of navigation maps with characteristics of the road surface, locality, with the definition of height above sea level and road-climate zoning. This method is an alternative solution that allows you to automate the mileage and labor intensity of technical actions and can be used to clarification parameters. To implement these principles, we propose a flowchart for processing transport telematics data for calculating correction coefficients, followed by calculating the periodicity and labor intensity. The proposed flowchart is implemented by a standard vehicle telematics system, but it can be upgraded with the possibility of remote diagnostics, which allows performing the functions of general diagnostics of individual systems and the vehicle as a whole. The use of systems of transport monitoring make it possible to improve the system of maintenance and repair. Analysis of the existing requirements regulated by documents in the perspective of the capabilities of modern transport telematics systems allows us to justify and create a new approach to the calculation of mileage before technical impacts and adjust the standards for the complexity of performing these impacts. The introduction of the general remote diagnostics function for individual systems and the vehicle as a whole makes it possible to eliminate errors in the calculation of correction coefficients, as well as to prevent the occurrence of failures during operation.
