1. A filter element analysis system, the filter element analysis system comprising:
a filter element being provided within a filter housing being provided on a vehicle, the filter housing having at least an inlet and an outlet, the inlet receiving a contaminated stream medium and the outlet providing a filtered stream medium;
one or more filter sensors being provided within the filter housing, each of the one or more filter sensors being configured to generate a signal correlating to filter element parameters;
one or more control units comprising at least one primary control unit comprising:
a processing unit being configured to receive the filter element parameters from the one or more filter sensors, and to obtain location information regarding the vehicle; and
a wireless communication mechanism being configured to transmit the filter element parameters over a wireless network; and

a remote server comprising:
a remote processing unit; and
a non-transitory computer-readable medium;

wherein the remote server is configured to:
receive one or more environmental parameters correlating to an environment about the location information of the vehicle;
receive the filter element parameters from the control unit over the wireless network;
determine a particle load of the filter element, based on the filter element parameters and the one or more environmental parameters; and
transmit the particle load back to the one or more control units.
