Coasting guidance timing and learning based on approach lane
First Claim
1. A coasting guidance system for a vehicle, comprising:
- a user interface for displaying coasting information; and
an electronic control unit coupled to the user interface and configured to;
obtain a current location of the vehicle and a location of a respective lane of a plurality of lanes,determine that the vehicle is travelling in the respective lane based on the current location of the vehicle and location of the respective lane,determine a stop area of the respective lane,determine an ideal coasting location based on the stop area, andprovide a notification to begin coasting at or within a threshold distance of the ideal coasting location.

Abstract
Methods, systems, and apparatus for adjusting coasting guidance and control to the driver of a vehicle to improve fuel efficiency. The coasting guidance system includes a user interface for displaying coasting information. The coasting guidance system includes an electronic control unit (ECU) coupled to the user interface. The ECU is configured to obtain a current location of the vehicle and a location of a respective lane of a plurality of lanes. The ECU is configured to determine that the vehicle is travelling in the respective lane based on the current location of the vehicle and location of the respective lane. The ECU is configured to determine a stop area of the respective lane and determine an ideal coasting location based on the stop area. The ECU is configured to provide a notification to begin coasting at or within a threshold distance of the ideal coasting location.

10. A method for providing a notification to begin coasting, comprising:
-
obtaining a current location of a vehicle and lane information; determining that the vehicle is in a respective lane of a plurality of lanes based on the current location of the vehicle and the lane information; determining a location of a stop area of the respective lane of the plurality of lanes, each lane of the plurality of lanes having a stop area, the stop area of the respective lane being different than at least one stop area of another lane of the plurality of lanes; determining an ideal coasting location based on the stop area of the respective lane; and providing a notification to begin coasting at or within a proximity of the ideal coasting location. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16)

17. A coasting guidance system for a vehicle, comprising:
-
a user interface for displaying coasting information; and an electronic control unit coupled to the user interface and configured to; determine that a roadway has a plurality of lanes, determine a respective lane of the plurality of lanes that the vehicle is travelling in based on a current location of the vehicle and lane information, determine a location of a stop event for the respective lane of the plurality of lanes that the vehicle is travelling in, determine a stop area of the respective lane, determine an ideal coasting location based on the stop area of the respective lane, and provide a notification to the user interface to begin coasting at or within a proximity of the ideal coasting location. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20)
