Abstract

This paper is aimed at diagnosing automotive engine fault in real-time utilizing BigData framework called spark. An automobile in the present day world is equipped with millions of sensors which are under the command of a central unit the ECU (Electronic Control Unit). ECU holds all information about the engine. A network of ECUs connected across the globe is a source tap of BigData. Leveraging the new sources of BigData by automotive giants boost vehicle performance, enhance loco driver experience, accelerated product designs. A piezoelectric transducer coupled to the ECU captures the vibration signals from the engine. The engine fault is detected by carving the problem into a pattern classification problem under machine learning after extracting cyclostationary features from the vibration signal. Spark-streaming framework, the most versatile BigData framework available today with immense computational capabilities is employed for engine fault detection and analysis.
