The problem is learning to link specific characteristics/features with observed historical faults in mobile cyberphysical systems (city buses). The available data bases are: (1) a large database with on-board data on a fleet of city buses over the period Aug 2011 – Dec 2013; (2) the service records for the same buses over the same period. The project is suitable for 2 students. The students must have experience with matlab, be skilled in mathematics, be interested in text data mining and be able to work in an organized way. Deliverables: (a) A definition of the problem (b) A state-of-the-art description of diagnostics methods, specifically data-mining based (c) A set of suitable diagnostic cases from the data bases (d) A list of suitable methods to use (e) Results of testing with the set of suitable methods on the set of suitable cases (f) A report The work is well suited for writing a short scientific paper in the end and submit it to a conference. The project is suitable for 2 students with high work capacity and the ambition to show abilities for scientific or high-level development work.

Work packages: (a) Defining the problem (b) State-of-the-art definition (c) Extracting cases from the data bases (d) Defining the set of methods to test (e) Running the tests (f) Analysis, conclusions and writing the report
