VEHICLE ENERGY MANAGEMENT
First Claim
1. A method for vehicle energy management comprising:
- receiving any of signals and data related to driving context;
retrieving vehicle characteristics;
projecting a driving context;
deriving one or more suggested control inputs; and
outputting the one or more suggested control inputs.

Abstract
A system and method for vehicle energy management are described that take driving context into account to derive suggested vehicle control inputs to reduce energy consumption. Driving context may be based on information including, for example, traffic congestion and/or flow information for a travelled route, road topology information, traffic controls, weather conditions, vehicle characteristics, and other types of driving context information. The driving context may be used to derive suggested control inputs to reduce energy consumption. The suggested control inputs can, for example, be expressed as: a suggested road speed, suggested gear selection, rate of acceleration or rate of deceleration.

8. A system for vehicle energy management comprising:
-
a driving-context input module to receive any of signals and data related to driving context; a vehicle characteristics repository to store and provide access to vehicle characteristics; a control inputs generation module to project a driving context from the signals and data related to driving context and the vehicle characteristics, and to derive one or more suggested control inputs based on the projected driving context, the signals and data related to driving context, and the vehicle characteristics; and a control output module to output the one or more suggested control inputs. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15)
