Development and Application of Vehicle Health Index

Article Preview

Abstract:

Evaluating the health level of vehicles usually involves several factors and often needs to introduce subjective information. This paper presents an approach to combine several performance measures into a composite index for health evaluation. A mathematical method is proposed to estimate the overall performances of vehicles based on the observed performances under multiple measures or criteria. The approach is illustrated using a real-world example.
