Abstract

See full text

Embodiments of the present invention provide method and system for determining whether to effect maintenance of a vehicle component. In one embodiment, the method includes transmitting an RFID read signal to an RFID device associated with at least one component of a vehicle and receiving at least one RFID response signal from the RFID device. The at least one RFID response signal includes an identifier associated with the at least one component and a sensed value of a parameter associated with the at least one component. Then, by processing the sensed value, it can be determined whether to effect maintenance of the at least one component. In some embodiments, the sensed value is generated by a sensor coupled to the RFID device. In other embodiments, the sensor is located adjacent to an expected location of the at least one component. In yet other embodiments, a location indication is utilized to determine whether to effect maintenance of the at least one component.
