System, method, and computer software code for optimizing performance of a powered system
First Claim
1. A method comprising:
- determining a performance target for a vehicle having plural wheels for driving along a road;
comparing the performance target to an actual operating parameter of the vehicle;
modifying an actual performance of the vehicle to achieve the performance target;
obtaining information from at least one prior haul cycle of the vehicle along the road based on learning the at least one prior haul cycle of the vehicle;
determining at least one parameter for at least one current haul based on the information from the at least one prior haul cycle that is obtained; and
controlling the vehicle during the at least one current haul cycle using the at least one parameter.

Abstract
A system to optimize performance of a powered system, the system including a data device configured to provide current information about current operating conditions of the powered system and/or prior information about the powered system, a controller configured to control operation of the powered system, and a processor configured to provide at least one control command to the controller for use in operating the powered system and/or user information with at least one recommended command to a user to control the powered system, wherein the at least one control command and/or user information are based at least in part on the current information and/or the prior information. A system and computer software code, stored on a computer readable media and executable with a processor, are also disclosed.

20. A method comprising:
-
determining a performance target for a vehicle having plural wheels for driving along a road; comparing the performance target to an actual operating parameter of the vehicle; modifying an actual performance of the vehicle to achieve the performance target; obtaining information from at least one prior mission of the vehicle along the road based on learning the at least one prior mission of the vehicle; determining at least one parameter for at least one current mission based on the information from the at least one prior mission that is obtained; and controlling the vehicle during the at least one current mission using the at least one parameter.
