As the automotive industry constantly makes technological progress, higher demands are placed on safety, environmentally friendly and durability. Modern vehicles are headed towards increasingly complex system, in terms of both hardware and software making it important to detect faults in any of the components. Monitoring the engine’s health has traditionally been done using expert knowledge and model-based techniques, where derived models of the system’s nominal state are used to detect any deviations. However, due to increased complexity of the system this approach faces limitations regarding time and knowledge to describe the engine’s states. An alternative approach is therefore data-driven methods which instead are based on historical data measured from different operating points that are used to draw conclusion about engine’s present state. In this thesis a proposed diagnostic framework is presented, consisting of a systematically approach for fault classification of known and unknown faults along with a fault size estimation. The basis for this lies in using principal component analysis to find the fault vector for each fault class and decouple one fault at the time, thus creating different subspaces. Importantly, this work investigates the efficiency of taking multiple classifiers into account in the decision making from a performance perspective. Aggregating multiple classifiers is done solving a quadratic optimization problem. To evaluate the performance, a comparison with a random forest classifier has been made. Evaluation with challenging test data show promising results where the algorithm relates well to the performance of random forest classifier.
