1. A method for anomaly analysis of a plurality of subsystems or components of a vehicle that experiences mechanical vibration during operation of the vehicle using (i) a database of vibrational profiles of a plurality of different subsystems or components of the vehicle with known anomalies, and (ii) an artificial intelligence (AI) model, the method comprising:
(a) collecting vibrational data of each subsystem or component of the vehicle at any instance of time by a plurality of motion measurement sensors, wherein the plurality of motion measurement sensors are located in the plurality of subsystems or components of the vehicle;
(b) processing the vibrational data in the AI model to create a vibrational profile for each subsystem or component of the vehicle;
(c) identifying the anomaly of each subsystem or component of the vehicle by matching, using the AI model, the vibrational profile for each subsystem or component of the vehicle to a profile of an anomaly in the database; and
(d) outputting from the AI model, using the identified anomaly of each subsystem or component of the vehicle, one or both of (i) a cause of the anomaly of each subsystem or component of the vehicle, and (ii) a recommended corrective action to be taken to address the anomaly of each subsystem or component of the vehicle.
