Systems and methods for determining speed control management settings
First Claim
1. A computing device, comprising:
- at least one processor;
a memory; and
a computer-readable medium having computer-executable instructions stored thereon that, in response to execution by the at least one processor, cause the computing device to provide components for configuring a vehicle, the components comprising;
a setting calculation component configured to;
obtain a vehicle configuration, the vehicle configuration including at least a set of typical shift points; and
calculate one or more speed control management settings based on the vehicle configuration;
a vehicle simulation component configured to;
obtain a set of vehicle drive cycles;
determine a typical simulated performance for each vehicle drive cycle in the set of vehicle drive cycles based on the vehicle configuration and the set of typical shift points, including determining a typical drive cycle time for each vehicle drive cycle in the set of vehicle drive cycles based on the vehicle configuration and the set of typical shift points;
determine a speed control management simulated performance for each vehicle drive cycle in the set of vehicle drive cycles based on the vehicle configuration and the speed control management settings, including determining a speed control management drive cycle time for each vehicle drive cycle in the set of vehicle drive cycles based on the vehicle configuration and the calculated speed control management settings; and
present at least one comparison of the typical simulated performance and the speed control management simulated performance to a customer, including determining a drive cycle time delta based on the typical drive cycle time and the speed control management drive cycle time, and presenting the drive cycle time delta to the customer; and
an order processing component configured to;
provide the one or more speed control management settings to an order fulfillment process that configures the vehicle with the one or more speed control management settings.

Abstract
Methods and devices for determining speed control management settings are provided. A vehicle configuration is obtained, specifying at least a transmission, including a number of gears present in the transmission. One or more speed control management modules, such as progressive shift and/or gear down protection modules, are selected by a customer. One or more default progressive shift limits and a default gear down protection limit are calculated, along with gears for which they are active. Performance of the vehicle using the default speed control management settings is simulated and compared to typical vehicle performance. The customer may alter the speed control management settings within dynamically determined valid ranges. The speed control management settings are used in the manufacture or other configuration of the vehicle for the customer.
