Abstract

The present invention provides a communication and analysis system that can manage data operations with a vehicle centric system with a planned route path. A vehicle that is in a communications link with a network can also manage its activities based on real time, historical and predictive knowledge, without having this all knowledge processing on board. Such data processing would include a cluster analysis of geo-spatial, internal functions and operator specific requirements. The rule based system would also incorporate the use patterns of a specific vehicle, or a specific user. A vehicle operator or vehicle multiple operators could share or upload information that would assist with efficient data processing and display, including fuel conservation and time management. Cluster weighting patterns can be assigned based on activities as efficient operation, safe travel and navigation.

Claims

1. A vehicle communication, analysis and operation system including hardware, firmware and software for managing vehicles by onboard analysis centered around a reference algorithm that uses the minimum amount of data in order to provide the vehicle operator with relevant data, employing inputs from data clusters including vehicle and correlation with analysis techniques in real time, or with historical and predictive knowledge.

a) that further enables a multitude of applications, range optimization and electric vehicle charging infrastructure

b) that further enables range optimization algorithms performed on board

2. The system where a vehicle is equipped with multiple accelerometers can derive the variations in conditions such as vehicle vibrations or acceleration in multiple axes and in combination with other data form a data cluster that can transit through a geometric model.

a) Where this data can in turn be integrated to determine velocity or displacement or patterns to characterize vehicle performance

b) Where driver actions are monitored to allow for vehicle actions to be used as response mechanisms in the vehicle centric analysis system.

c) Where a series of two or more accelerometers could be used in an steering handle which to allow a driver to use tapping motions to communicate while steering.

3. A vehicle communication, analysis and operation system including hardware, firmware and software for managing vehicles using a cluster analysis technique by connectivity to server side analysis and can further provide a vehicle operator or network operator with relevant data, employing inputs from data clusters including vehicle and correlation with analysis techniques in real time, or with historical and predictive knowledge.

a) that further enables a multitude of applications, range optimization and electric vehicle charging infrastructure

b) range optimization algorithms whether performed on the server or onboard the vehicle.
