Managing vehicle efficiency
First Claim
1. A computer-implemented method of controlling operation of one or more subsystems of a plurality of subsystems of a vehicle to improve performance, the method comprising:
- storing at a vehicle, historic vehicle state information specifying a plurality of performance values associated with a plurality of subsystems of the vehicle at a plurality of time points, including a current time point;
receiving at the vehicle, other state information specifying a plurality of performance values associated with a second system;
generating a forward-looking model, the forward-looking model specifying a relative weighting of the plurality of subsystems of the vehicle being associated with improved performance;
determining a performance value associated with the one or more subsystems of the plurality of subsystems of the vehicle based on the historic vehicle state information, the other state information and the forward-looking model; and
generating and sending a signal based on the performance value.

Abstract
Historic vehicle state information specifying a plurality of performance values associated with the plurality of subsystems of the vehicle at a plurality of time points, including a current time point is stored at the vehicle. Historic neighbor vehicle state information specifying a plurality of performance values associated with a plurality of subsystems of a vehicle at a plurality of time points, including a current time point is received from a neighbor vehicle proximate to the vehicle. A forward-looking model is generated based on vehicle state information. An performance value associated with a subsystem of the plurality of subsystems of the vehicle is determined based on the historic vehicle state information, the historic neighbor vehicle state information, and the forward-looking model. A recommendation to a driver of the vehicle is provided based on the optimized performance value.

20. A system for managing vehicle performance, the system comprising:
-
an input device for receiving information about a vehicle including historic vehicle state information; a communication device having an input and an output for receiving other state information; a forward-looking model specifying relative weightings of one or more subsystems of the vehicle being associated with improved performance; and a performance management system having inputs and an output for determining a performance value associated with the one or more subsystems of the vehicle based on the historic vehicle state information, the other state information and the forward-looking model. - View Dependent Claims (21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29)
