Abstract: Systems, methods, and processing nodes predicting and perform preventive maintenance in a transportation system. Predicting and performing preventive maintenance in a transportation system includes determining historical data for electronic devices in the transportation system. Predicting and performing preventive maintenance also includes determining dependencies of the electronic devices based on the historical data. Predicting and performing preventive maintenance includes determining a likelihood of a fault in the target electronic device during a time period based on the dependencies of the electronic devices and a mutual probability of failure of the target electronic device and parent electronic devices associated with the target electronic device. Predicting and performing preventive maintenance also includes initiating preemptive maintenance on the target electronic device based on the likelihood of the fault.

Abstract: A historical task database relating vehicle rollout decisions, vehicle maintenance states and subsequent deteriorations is created. A pattern analyzer may use an item-set mining algorithm on the task database to recommend whether a vehicle with its current maintenance state should be deployed. A supervisor uses this recommendation to make a rollout decision. These decisions are added to the database. Heuristic rules are defined to determine if the rollout decision was correct. The system to learns when a supervisor continues to make costly rollout errors. The system also discovers combinations of defects that lead to a rapid deterioration and makes recommendations that the vehicle be sent for maintenance rather than being rolled out.

Abstract: The disclosed embodiments illustrate methods and systems for recommending one or more vehicles, commuting on a predefined route, for one or more requestors. The method includes determining a first additional distance traversable by each vehicle apart from the predefined route to accommodate each requestor. Further, a graph comprising a first set of nodes representing the one or more requestors, and a second set of nodes representing the one or more vehicles, is generated. Thereafter, a mapping between the first set of nodes and the second set of nodes is determined based on the first additional distance. The mapping corresponds to an allocation of a requestor to a vehicle such that an additional distance traversable by the vehicle is less than an additional distance traversable by remaining vehicles apart from the predefined route. Thereafter, the one or more vehicles are recommended for the one or more requestors based on the mapping.
