Abstract
An apparatus comprising an interface, a memory and a processor. The interface may be configured to receive sensor data samples during operation of a vehicle. The memory may be configured to store the sensor data samples over a number of points in time. The processor may be configured to analyze the sensor data samples stored in the memory to detect a pattern. The processor may be configured to manage an application of brakes of the vehicle in response to the pattern.
Claims20
A method of electric vehicle operation, comprising:
- determining a segment of a vehicle route;
- determining information about an external environment of a vehicle, information about operational status of the vehicle, information from external command input telemetry in combination with user command inputs to the vehicle including voice command inputs;
- and
- applying calculated electric power to the vehicle to travel along the segment of the vehicle route at a calculated speed.
1 more element
An electric vehicle, comprising:
- a vehicle having an electric power source, a communication system, and a user interface system capable of accepting voice command inputs;
- and
- a power management system for the electric power source able to determine information about an external environment of a vehicle, information about operational status of the vehicle, information from external command input telemetry combinable with user command inputs to the vehicle including voice command inputs provided by the user interface system, and one or more operational parameters of the vehicle, with the power management system set to calculate electric power and speed over a segment of a vehicle route and act to apply calculated electric power to the vehicle to travel along the segment of the vehicle route at the calculated speed.
