Abstract
A system for determining a remaining useful life of a component is provided that includes an onboard control unit including a processor, a plurality of sensors to detect a plurality of signals from the component, and a data bus connecting the sensors to the onboard control unit. The processor receives data from the plurality of sensors and determines a plurality of condition indicators for the component, a health indicator from the plurality of condition indicators, and a remaining useful life for the component. An alert or warning may be given if the remaining useful life reaches a certain value provided that certain automated reporting conditions are also met.
