SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR TRAFFIC LEARNING
First Claim
1. A method for traffic learning comprising:
- predicting, by a computing device, a vehicle route of a vehicle;
determining, by the computing device, historical traffic data related to at least one segment along the vehicle route;
determining, by the computing device, an energy traffic budget for electric power consumption of the vehicle along the vehicle route, wherein the energy traffic budget is learned from the historical traffic data;
creating, by the computing device, a schedule for transitioning between gasoline power and electric power for the vehicle route;
implementing, by the computing device, the schedule as the vehicle traverses the vehicle route; and
in response to encountering traffic along the vehicle route, implementing the energy traffic budget.

Abstract
Systems and methods for traffic learning are described. One embodiment of a method includes predicting a vehicle route of a vehicle, determining historical traffic data related to at least one segment along the vehicle route, and determining an energy traffic budget for electric power consumption of the vehicle along the vehicle route, where the energy traffic budget is learned from the historical traffic data. Some embodiments include creating a schedule for transitioning between gasoline power and electric power for the vehicle route, implementing the schedule as the vehicle traverses the vehicle route, and in response to encountering traffic along the vehicle route, implementing the energy traffic budget.

15. A computing device for traffic learning comprising:
-
a processor; and a memory component that stores logic that, when executed by the processor, causes the computing device to perform at least the following; predict a vehicle route of a vehicle, wherein the vehicle is configured to operate in an electric vehicle (EV) mode and a gasoline mode, and wherein the vehicle is configured to automatically change between the EV mode and the gasoline mode in response to a change command; determine at least one segment along the vehicle route; determine historical traffic data related to the at least one segment along the vehicle route; determine an energy traffic budget for electric power consumption of the vehicle along the at least one segment, wherein the energy traffic budget is created based on the historical traffic data; create a schedule for transitioning between the gasoline mode and the EV mode for the vehicle route; implement the schedule as the vehicle traverses the vehicle route, wherein implementing the schedule comprises sending the change command to change between the EV mode and the gasoline mode according to the schedule; and in response to encountering traffic along the vehicle route, implement the energy traffic budget. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
