The method and system use onboard data stream mining for extracting data
patterns from data continuously generated by different components of a
vehicle. The system stores the data patterns in an onboard micro database
and discards the data. The system uses a resource-constrained, small,
lightweight onboard data stream management processor, with onboard data
stream mining, an onboard micro database, and a privacy-preserving
communication module, which periodically and upon request communicates
stored data patterns to a remote control center. The control center uses
the data patterns to characterize the typical and unusual vehicle health,
driving and fleet behavior.
