Abstract

See full text

A vehicle lubrication system includes a plurality of sensors disposed on the vehicle and configured to sense operational characteristics of the vehicle, a pump disposed on the vehicle and configured to deliver lubricant to a plurality of lubricated regions of the vehicle, and a controller device operatively coupled to the pump. The controller device is configured to receive sensor data corresponding to the operational characteristics of the vehicle sensed by the plurality of sensors, and determine, based on the received sensor data, a lubricant delivery frequency at which lubrication is to be delivered to the plurality of lubricated regions of the vehicle. The controller device is further configured to provide control commands to cause the pump to deliver the lubricant to the plurality of lubricated regions according to the determined lubricant delivery frequency.
