Abstract
A computer-implemented method includes: detecting, by a computing device, a failure event for a primary data collection device that is currently collecting and providing data; discontinuing, by the computing device, use of the primary data collection device based on the detecting the failure event; selecting, by the computing device, an alternate data collection device based on the discontinuing the use of the primary data collection device; receiving, by the computing device, data collected by the alternate data collection device; receiving, by the computing device, failure related data associated with the primary data collection device after discontinuing use of the primary data collection device; and updating, by the computing device, a hazard function based on the failure related data, wherein the hazard function is used to detect future failures of a same type of primary data collection device.
