Vehicle Driver-Model Controller with Energy Economy Rating Adjustments
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A computer-implemented method of operating a vehicle, comprising:
- storing vehicle dynamic information (VDI) during vehicle operation;
defining a relationship between VDI over a look-ahead time window; and
controlling the vehicle according to the defined relationship;
wherein when a target energy economy rating (EER) is less than a predetermined value, controlling the vehicle over a larger look-ahead time window than when the target energy economy rating (EER) is less than the predetermined value.

4. A computer-implemented method of operating a vehicle, comprising:
-
storing data for a plurality of vehicle dynamic information (VDI) over time; defining a first relationship between a first VDI and a second VDI based on stored data received over a first look-ahead time window; defining a second relationship between the first VDI and second VDI based on stored data received over a second look-ahead time window; and controlling the vehicle based on a target energy economy rating (EER). - View Dependent Claims (5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11)

15. A system for controlling a vehicle, comprising:
-
vehicle dynamic sensors configured to collect vehicle dynamic information (VDI); memory configured to store the plurality of VDI; a controller configured to control a first vehicle subsystem associated with a first VDI based on relationship data between the first VDI and a second VDI over a flexible time-mapping window; and an energy economy rating (or EER) calibrator, configured to alter the time-mapping window in which control over the first vehicle subsystem is based. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
