%X The present work deals with intelligent vehicle fleet maintenance and
prediction. We propose an approach based primarily on the history of failures
data and on the geographical data system. The objective here is to predict the
date of failures for a fleet of vehicles in order to allow the maintenance
department to efficiently deploy the proper resources; we further provide
specific details regarding the origins of failures, and finally, give
recommendations. This study used the Soci¨¦t¨¦ de transport de Montr¨¦al (STM)¡¯s
historical bus failure data as well as weather data from Environment Canada. We
thank Facebook¡¯s Prophet, Simple Feed-forward, and Beats algorithms (Uber), we
proposed a set of computer codes that allow us to identify the 20% of buses
that are responsible for the 80% of failures by mean of the failure history.
Then, we deepened our study on the unreliable equipments identified during the
diffusion of our computer code This allowed us to propose probable predictions of the dates of future
failures. To ensure the validity of the proposed algorithm, we carried out
simulations with more than 250,000
data. The results obtained are similar to the predicted theoretical values.
