VEHICLE DATA HEALTH MONITORING AND RECORDING SYSTEM FOR MULTI-LAYER CONTROL SOFTWARE ARCHITECTURE

A data health monitoring and recording system for a vehicle includes a data recording infrastructure and one or more controllers. The one or more controllers include a multi-layer control software architecture including two or more software layers. The one or more controllers execute instructions to monitor, by a health monitoring structure that is part of the multi-layer control software architecture, one or more parameters calculated by each of the two or more software layers. The one or more controllers compare a respective parameter of a respective software layer with a predetermined corresponding performance metric for a required time horizon. In response to determining the respective parameter of the respective software layer does not meet the predetermined corresponding performance metric for the required time horizon, a trigger that instructs the data recording infrastructure to record the parameters calculated by each of the two or more software layers is generated.
