1. A method, comprising:
receiving, by a transport, sensor data over a period of time from a sensor;
identifying, by the transport, a rate of change of the sensor data over the period of time;
identifying, by the transport, an average period of time for the sensor data to reach a threshold value, wherein reaching the threshold value results in a change in operation of the transport;
predicting, by a transport, a time of a future occurrence of an issue with the transport by identifying that a time the sensor data will reach the threshold value based on the rate of change of the sensor data is less than the average period of time;
displaying, via the transport, the time of the future occurrence on a display;
detecting, by the transport, that an operator of the transport is not viewing the displayed time; and
in response to the detecting, dynamically varying a characteristic of the transport until the displayed time is viewed by the operator.
