FIELD: automatic management, possible use in systems with excessive number of sensors, for example, angular speed sensors, where failure of one sensor should not result in failure of management system.
SUBSTANCE: method for detection of a failing sensor in excessive system is based on periodical checking of communication ratio of measured movement parameters, which characterizes correct operation of sensors, recording the moment of disruption of communication ratio, determining of increment of measured parameter, generation of additional signal, comparison of sensor indications at that moment to corresponding additional signal and detection of failing sensor on basis of comparison results.
EFFECT: increased trustworthiness when detecting failing sensor and reduced volume of processed information.
