Abstract

A big data-based driving information provision system may include a sensor configured to measure and collect state monitoring data of an engine, vehicle monitoring data, and vibration data; an engine electronic control unit (ECU) configured to generate a combustion characteristic index (CCI) data of the engine; and a graphic controller configured to generate a primary deep learning model which classifies the big data including the state monitoring data, the vehicle monitoring data, the vibration data, and the CCI into at least two categories.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A big data-based driving information provision system, comprising:
at least one sensor configured to measure and collect vehicle monitoring data regarding a vehicle and vibration data of an engine of the vehicle;
an engine electronic control unit (ECU) configured to measure state monitoring data of the engine;
a graphic controller configured to;
collect the vehicle monitoring data and the state monitoring data of the engine;
generate a combustion characteristic index (CCI) of the engine;
generate a primary deep learning model, wherein the primary deep learning model is configured to classify big data including the state monitoring data, the vehicle monitoring data, the vibration data, and the CCI into at least two data categories; and
generate a secondary deep learning model that is configured to predict an irregular vibration index in an idle state of the engine based on the primary deep learning model, and

a vehicle communication terminal configured to receive, from a central server, service time information indicating a time required for an inspection service by comparing prediction information based on the secondary deep learning model and a predetermined value for maintenance.

2. The big data-based driving information provision system of claim 1 , wherein the primary deep learning model is configured to classify combinations of correlation coefficients between the big data into the at least two data categories.

3. The big data-based driving information provision system of claim 2 , wherein the primary deep learning model is configured to classify the big data into clusters by applying a k-means algorithm to the correlation coefficients.

4. The big data-based driving information provision system of claim 3 , wherein the primary deep learning model is configured to apply, after the k-means algorithm is applied, a Gaussian mixture model (GMM) and a deep neural network (DNN).

5. The big data-based driving information provision system of claim 1 , wherein the ECU is configured to calculate the CCI using a crank angle, an angular velocity, and an angular acceleration of the engine.

6. The big data-based driving information provision system of claim 5 , wherein the ECU is configured to:
calculate the CCI for each cylinder;
calculate a median deviation value according to:

where i is an index value of a respective cylinder, n·i· cyl i , is the CCI of cylinder i, and N is a positive natural number; and
when the median deviation value is greater than a predetermined threshold, determine that the cylinder having a smallest minimum CCI is an abnormal combustion.

7. The big data-based driving information provision system of claim 1 , wherein the graphic controller is configured to:
generate the at least two data categories for each cylinder of the engine.

8. The big data-based driving information provision system of claim 1 , wherein the at least two data categories are:
an irregular vibration index based on the CCI; and
a grade and a vibration level which are matched to a range from a maximum value to a minimum value of the irregular vibration index.
