“The Role of Prognostics in Future Transportation Systems” 15

Abstract: The ability to predict the failure of a system before it happens is
critical to minimizing the impact of the event, whether the system is the
human body, an airplane, or an automobile. In the future of transportation,
“the system” will be more than a single vehicle, rather it will be an
interdependent network of infrastructure, vehicles, and people. This talk
will review recent advances in vehicle subsystem prognostics and discuss
how these methods, in combination with new “big data” techniques, can
be applied to the larger transportation ecosystem. Examples of
transportation system failures and how prognostics may prevent them, will
be reviewed. Opportunities for new development and initiatives will be
presented.

Biography: Dr. Paul E. Krajewski is the Director of the Vehicle Systems
