DETERMINATION OF DAMPER HEALTH STATE USING INDIRECT MEASUREMENTS

A system and method to determine the health state of a damper associated with a wheel of a vehicle using indirect measurements obtain information from one or more sensors. The one or more sensors includes a wheel speed sensor, inertial measurement unit, tire pressure sensor, steering wheel sensor, global positioning system (GPS) receiver, or a camera. The information from at least one of the one or more sensors includes at least one measurement of a parameter not directly characterizing the damper. The method also includes comparing the at least one measurement of the parameter with data of the parameter to estimate wear of the damper. The data includes a historical measurement, a measurement for another wheel of the vehicle, a measurement from another vehicle, or an output of a model, and a maintenance or replacement task is triggered by the estimate of the wear of the damper.
