• Abstract:
  The concept of preventive maintenance is very important in the effective management and deployment of ; vehicle fleets. The Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) operates a large fleet of on-road and offroad ; equipment. Newer engines and vehicles are equipped with on-board diagnostic systems that can provide ; data on engine operation as indicators of engine load. There is the possibility of tracking these parameters to ; refine predictions for when equipment maintenance should be performed. Project 0-6626 aimed to provide a ; proof of concept for this idea by studying TxDOT’s fleet, selecting a vehicle category for data collection, and ; developing an algorithm that can be used to recommend appropriate oil change intervals based on engine ; data collected through on-board diagnostic systems.
