ABSTRACT
The notion of vehicle health management (VHM) should be familiar to anyone who has ever operated or ridden in a vehicle, whether it was an automobile, truck, boat, or aircraft. Even the Wright Brothers performed VHM in their bicycle shop over 100 years ago. VHM includes the set of activities that are performed to identify, mitigate, and resolve faults with the vehicle [1]. These activities can be grouped into four phases, as illustrated in Figure 22.1.
