Since June 2015, in the framework of a CIFRE convention with Nexter, Florence Ducros has begun a thesis on the modeling of aging of vehicles, supervised by Gilles Celeux and Patrick Pamphile. This thesis should lead to designing an efficient maintenance strategy according to vehicle use profiles. It involves the estimation of mixtures and competing risk models in a highly-censored setting. Moreover, she can deduce from these models operational tools to estimate the number of spare parts to be stocked in a given period. These tools are defined to take vehicle use patterns into account.
