METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR DETERMINING A ROUTE FOR EFFICIENT ENERGY CONSUMPTION
First Claim
1. A system for optimizing energy consumption in a vehicle along a route, the system comprising:
- at least one computer at a vehicle configured to;
receive data defining one or more routes;
receive one or more consumption influencing parameters which influence a consumption of an energy source of the vehicle along the one or more routes;
based on the route data and the consumption influencing parameters, determine at least one route which minimizes the consumption of the energy source for the vehicle;
for the at least one route, determine one or more braking strategies for implementation by a vehicle operator in the vehicle in accordance with reducing the consumption of the vehicle energy source; and
output the one or more braking strategies in the vehicle.

Abstract
Various embodiments relate to determining a route for efficient energy consumption. Data defining one or more routes and one or more consumption influencing parameters which influence a consumption of an energy source of the vehicle along the one or more routes may be received at a vehicle computer. Based on the route data and the consumption influencing parameters, at least one route which minimizes the consumption of the energy source for the vehicle may be determined. For the at least one route, one or more braking strategies may be determined for implementation by a vehicle operator in the vehicle in accordance with reducing the consumption of the vehicle energy source. The one or more braking strategies may be output in the vehicle.
