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;
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 EER is less than the predetermined value.

7. A system for controlling a vehicle, comprising:
-
vehicle dynamic sensors collecting vehicle dynamic information (VDI); memory storing the plurality of VDI; a controller which controls 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; an energy economy rating calibrator, altering the time-mapping window in which control over the first vehicle subsystem is based. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10, 11, 12)
