Abstract: Integrated vehicle health management is a concept which comprises the integration of sensors, communication technologies, artificial intelligence, data analytics and software health management to facilitate vehicle-wide abilities for diagnosing problems and recommending solution. The IVHM uses sensors to monitor the condition/health of the vehicle by analysing the data readings from the installed sensors in the vehicle. The aircraft needs to be monitored continuously for the flawless and continuous functioning. The data collected from the sensors installed in the aircraft helps to analyse the present and predict the future performance of the aircraft. Also, the data can also be used to make operational decisions, which are very critical for real-time performance. This paper provides the state-of-the-art report of the IVHM concept.

Keywords: integrated vehicle health management; IVHM; IVHM for aircraft; prognostics; prediction; aircraft safety; aircraft health monitoring.
