Preliminary development of sensor quality advisor
EF 2009-10
Résumé
The use of fault detection and remote monitoring systems for mobile equipment has become standard practise
in industry. However, as companies become increasingly reliant on these systems, a serious concern involves
the reliability of the fault detection system itself. In particular, the reliability of sensors presents a significant
risk (in the form of false alarms) to the confidence in a fault detection system. The concern of sensor reliability
becomes particularly acute in applications involving hostile environments and remote locations. This research
project proposes the preliminary development of a system to detect sensor faults in a commercially available
remote monitoring system.
