ABSTRACT:
A system, method, and computer program product for predicting failure of a vehicle system or subsystem by using statistical analysis of prior maintenance messages and vehicle failures, such that the predictions of failures may be incorporated into a vehicle monitoring and reporting system. Maintenance message data and vehicle system or subsystem failure data are collected from a central maintenance computer of a vehicle, such as an aircraft. This maintenance message and vehicle system or subsystem failure data are analyzed to discern relationships between maintenance messages and vehicle system or subsystem failures which will enable future failures to be predicted. By predicting future failures, maintenance can be performed in time to prevent the vehicle failure and thereby avoid unnecessary costs and unscheduled interruptions of vehicle operations.
