the associated costs, risks and revenues. While methods are proposed for designing
IVHM systems, these have not yet significantly impacted vehicle design practice.
IVHM can improve both the cost-effectiveness of new and legacy vehicles by linking
maintenance, operations, and logistics to the present and future health of the vehicle.
However, the costs of the technology are potential barriers to widespread adoption. There
is a need for consolidated tools and methodologies for the design of IVHM applications.
A better understanding of the relationship between IVHM and emerging forms of service
contracting would also facilitate a wider adoption of both. Recent advances in sensor,
communication and software technologies have enabled a paradigm shift to take place in
the way complex assets are designed, operated and maintained. Stringent health
management requirements are being placed on the development of new vehicles [10] and
IVHM offers an opportunity to improve the management of products thorough their
lifecycles, extending beyond the field of vehicle systems to include any complex
technical asset.
