  A modern vehicle fitted with sensors, actuators, and Electronic Control Units
(ECUs) can be divided into several operational subsystems called Functional
Working Groups (FWGs). Examples of these FWGs include the engine system,
transmission, fuel system, brakes, etc. Each FWG has associated sensor-channels
that gauge vehicular operating conditions. This data rich environment is
conducive to the development of Predictive Maintenance (PdM) technologies.
Undercutting various PdM technologies is the need for robust anomaly detection
models that can identify events or observations which deviate significantly
from the majority of the data and do not conform to a well defined notion of
normal vehicular operational behavior. In this paper, we introduce the Vehicle
Performance, Reliability, and Operations (VePRO) dataset and use it to create a
multi-phased approach to anomaly detection. Utilizing Temporal Convolution
Networks (TCN), our anomaly detection system can achieve 96% detection accuracy
and accurately predicts 91% of true anomalies. The performance of our anomaly
detection system improves when sensor channels from multiple FWGs are utilized.
