Vehicle energy management device

This invention describes a system for managing a vehicle's energy use by predicting how much energy different parts of the car will consume along a planned route. It does this by first gathering information about the car's energy use in various sections of its journey. This information is then refined by comparing the car's actual driving style in different road conditions against typical driving patterns of many other vehicles. Based on these refined predictions, the system creates a plan to control the car's various energy-consuming components.

Why it matters: Filed before widespread vehicle telematics and cloud-based data analytics matured, making the acquisition and processing of large-scale statistical driving data for comparison much more feasible and accurate. This, combined with advancements in predictive control algorithms for electrified powertrains, enhances the precision and effectiveness of such an energy management system.
