Onboard AIM Processor Clause Samples

Onboard AIM Processor. In these specifications, the Onboard AIM Processor is considered the onboard electronic processor that controls some or all onboard AIM system functions. The Onboard AIM Processor shall:  Be of sufficient computational capacity to support all onboard AIM systems plus 50%.  Provide for multi-protocol communications with all in-vehicle AIM devices, and external devices.  Maintain and provide accurate, consistent clock time to all AVL-controlled in-vehicle components.  Collect data from other elements, determine status of the bus and shall control communication of this information via the data radio or cellular data modem.  Use self-diagnostic software and that includes self-restarting of processes. Stability of the software shall be enforced through rigorous testing, as per IEEE quality assurance requirements. In addition to other functions delineated throughout these specifications, the Onboard AIM processor shall monitor onboard AIM systems to detect failures, disconnected equipment, or missing equipment. The nature of any detected failure, including its location and time, shall be logged on the bus and reported to the Dispatch Center in real-time, as requested, or as scheduled. This data shall be downloaded to the AIM network at the end of the day when the bus returns to the yard.
