A data collecting system including a component assembled in an electric vehicle, a data collector connected to the component through a bus of the electric vehicle, and a debug server connected to the data collector is disclosed. The component collects different data from the electric vehicle and performs different sending procedures respectively under different situations including: a regular sending-procedure sends regular data to the bus based on a regular frequency; a high-speed sending-procedure starts collecting high-speed data and sending the same to the bus based on a high-speed frequency after a condition is satisfied; and a high-resolution sending-procedure sends high-resolution data to the bus after an error occurs, wherein the high-resolution data is collected within a period of time before and after the error occurs. The data collector collects these data from the bus. The debug server analyzes the data collected by the data collector.

Devices and methods for providing a retrievable record of the times of the actual aircraft movements such as the Gate Out time when the aircraft leaves the gate or parking position, the Wheels Off time when the aircraft takes off, the Wheels On time when the aircraft touches down during landing, and the Gate In time when the aircraft arrives at the gate or parking position (OOOI times). A mobile device for logging data onboard an aircraft comprises: a motion sensor; a clock; a non-transitory tangible computer-readable storage medium for storing motion data from the motion sensor and associated time data from the clock; and a data processing system configured to identify stored motion data representing respective acceleration/deceleration vectors of the mobile device motions that correspond to aircraft gate departure and arrival and aircraft takeoff and landing. The OOOI times are automatically logged in the non-transitory tangible computer-readable storage medium.

A system for extended time scale event detection includes a data storage device and a processor. The data storage device is configured to store sensor data associated with a vehicle. The processor is configured to analyze an extended time period of the sensor data to identify minor events. The minor events are detected using a minor event threshold. The processor is further configured to determine whether there are more than a threshold number of the minor events and, in the event there are more than a threshold number of the minor events, flag the minor events.

Methods and systems are provided for driveline control and diagnostics. In one example, a vehicle system may include a controller with instructions stored in a first memory unit and when executed by a first processing unit cause the controller to write mechanical vehicle component operating data to a shared memory unit. The controller further includes instructions stored in a second memory unit that when executed by a second processing unit cause the controller to read the mechanical vehicle component operating data to determine data validity.
