1. A vehicle dynamics prediction system for providing predictions, over a predetermined future time period, of vehicle velocity, which predictions utilize future vehicle control settings anticipated for that period, said prediction system including:
- (a) a processing means coupled to a user interface for facilitating selection of future vehicle control settings and selection of a route for travel of the vehicle;
(b) a first input arrangement for inputting data about current vehicle position to the processing means;
(c) a second input arrangement for inputting data about current vehicle control settings and data about current vehicle operational parameters to the processing means;
(d) a first memory arrangement coupled to the first input arrangement for storing historical vehicle position data and for buffering current vehicle position data prior to storage;
(e) a second memory arrangement coupled to the second input arrangement for storing historical control setting data and historical operational parameter data and for buffering current control setting data and current operational parameter data prior to storage;
(f) an artificial intelligence database coupled to the processing means, containing a plurality of weighting values for neural network models representing dynamic performance of respective units comprising the vehicle;
(g) a route topographical database coupled to the processing means, containing position data about available routes of travel for the vehicle;
wherein the processing means calculates future conditions of the vehicle based on the current vehicle position data relative to the selected route utilizing position data obtained from the route topographical database, and predicts the vehicle velocity in the vehicle during said predetermined period by processing the vehicle control setting data and operational parameter data through the neural network models, which models employ the weighting values from the artificial intelligence database, for calculated future vehicle positions and associated future control settings.
