Abstract
Disclosed are a vehicle control unit (VCU) and an operation method thereof that calculate a speed variation of a vehicle based on input information, predict an average speed of the vehicle based on the calculated speed variation, generate a first speed profile based on the predicted average speed, and generate a second speed profile by applying speed noise information to the first speed profile.
Claims12
A vehicle control method, comprising:
- receiving traffic flow information including traffic congestion level of a path from a current location to a destination,
- generating a speed profile based on the traffic flow information and speed noise information representing acceleration and deceleration of a vehicle on the path,
- predicting battery usage of the vehicle to reach the destination based on the generated speed profile, and
- outputting the predicted battery usage to a user of the vehicle.
