  • METHODS AND DEVICES FOR PREDICTIVE MAINTENANCE OF ROAD VEHICLE COMPONENTS
    Publication number: 20220092885
    Abstract: Disclosed are methods and devices for predictive maintenance of at least one component of a road vehicle. The general principle is based on the combination of the ranges of values of parameters that represent the wear of a road vehicle component. The method includes observing the duration of use of combinations of ranges of values in order to deduce therefrom a wear profile which is compared with a predetermined wear profile. This mechanism makes it possible to reduce the amount of information to be stored.

  • Method for smoothing out acceleration jerks of a vehicle propelled by an internal-combustion engine
    Patent number: 5470289
