title: Automotive Diesel Engine Dataset Including Faults

description: Automotive Diesel Engine Dataset Including Faults

Introduction

The dataset was generated using a mean-value engine simulation model (see [1]) of a two-stage charged Diesel engine with high pressure exhaust gas recirculation (HP-EGR). It contains a wide range of standardized powertrain signals, as well as multiple fault implementations relevant for research in areas, such as

- anomaly detection- predictive maintenance- time series modeling- machine learning for system health assessment

Data was simulated under different speed profiles, i.e. drive cycles:

- Public emission drive cycles (e.g. WLTC)- Real-world driven drive cycles

Thus, data contains a wide range of operating points. All signals were recorded at 10Hz. There are a total of 15 different drive cycles, each available in healthy conditions.

The cycles `Cycle_RDE_Eifel` and `Cycle_RDE_Eifel2` contain additional 3 fault types, each with 3 severity levels.

In total, this leads to 1572243 samples:- 368565 Healthy samples (15 drive cycles)- 133742 samples (`Cycle_RDE_Eifel` and `Cycle_RDE_Eifel2`) per combination of fault and it's severity

Summary

- Sampling rate: 10 Hz- Number of signals: 18- Drive cycles: 15- Cycles including faults: Cycle_RDE_Eifel, Cycle_RDE_Eifel2- Fault types: 3 (with 3 severities each)

General information

Detailed information on all drive signals, faults & drive cycles are provided in:

- `metadata.json`: signals (name, description, original unit) & fault types (name, severity)- `cycles.json`: drive cycles (name, type, duration)

Standardization

All signals were standardized using a z-score normalization performed per signal:

$z = \frac{x - \mu}{\sigma}$

For each signal, the mean ($\mu$) and standard deviation ($\sigma$) were computed from healthy data only. The resulting standardization parameters were then applied  to all fault conditions and drive cycles.

Exception:  `EGR_position_desired`, which is the desired position of the HP-EGR, was not normalized, as the original percentage scale is often meaningful for diagnostic and control applications.

Metadata

`metadata.json` contains two sections:

- signals: all powertrain signals- fault_types: all implemented faults and their severities (applicable for `Cycle_RDE_Eifel` and `Cycle_RDE_Eifel2`)

Data Structure

All signals are located in `processed/main_df_standardized.parquet`. This parquet file contains:

- all standardized signal columns- drive cycle name- fault type- cycle boundary flag

The flag column is set to `1` at the first time step of each drive cycle and `NaN` otherwise.

```text    feature_1  feature_2 ... drive_cycle  fault_type  flag0       .          .              .            .        .1       .          .              .            .        .2       .          .              .            .        .```

The first 18 columns correspond to the signals defined in `metadata.json`, followed by the columns `drive_cycle`, `fault_type` and `flag`.

Loading the Dataset

To load the parquet file in python as a dataframe, do the following:

```pythonimport pandas as pdpath_to_standardized_data = './processed/main_df_standardized.parquet'main_df_standardized = pd.read_parquet(path_to_standardized_data)```

Data for a specific drive cycle, fault and feature can be obtained as follows:

```pythonfeature = "InPrs"cycle = "Cycle_RDE_Eifel"fault = "EGVClog_10"

subset = main_df_standardized[(main_df_standardized["drive_cycle"] == cycle) & (main_df_standardized["fault_type"] == fault)][feature]subset = subset.reset_index(drop=True)```
