As the second-largest country on earth, with a population stretched from coast to coast to coast, Canada faces unique transportation challenges. As a result, the transportation industry remains a significant force in the Canadian economy. Therefore, traditional fleet management systems are gradually extended towards digitization, with new features to improve reliability, such as better maintenance planning. This research project aims to develop an Artificial Intelligent based framework that objectively and automatically analyze information recorded by the sensors embedded throughout a truck and predict whether an engine break down is going to happen in the next few weeks, well before it causes downtime. The proposed expert system will significantly impact on vehicle maintenance strategies, increase vehicle up-time, improve technician efficiency and reduce maintenance cost. In addition, the project will significantly contribute to the advancement of knowledge in machine learning research for analyzing large scale time-series data.

作为地球上第二大国家，人口从东海岸延伸到西海岸，加拿大面临着独特的交通挑战。因此，运输业仍然是加拿大经济中的一支重要力量。因此，传统的机队管理系统正逐步向数字化延伸，具有提高可靠性的新功能，如更好的维护计划。这个研究项目旨在开发一个基于人工智能的框架，客观和自动地分析卡车上嵌入的传感器记录的信息，并在发动机故障导致停机之前预测发动机故障是否会在接下来的几周内发生。建议的专家系统将对车辆维修策略产生重大影响，增加车辆的正常运行时间，提高技术人员的效率，降低维修成本。此外，该项目将大大促进机器学习研究中用于分析大规模时间序列数据的知识的进步。
