A method for controlling a vehicle active chassis power system includes determining, via a processor, a minimum output voltage/current threshold for an aggregated power supply associated with an active chassis operation, and generating an aggregate State of Function (SoF) indicative of a maximum voltage/current budget for an output of the vehicle active chassis power system. The aggregate SoF is based on a primary power source voltage/current output and a power storage voltage/current output. The method further includes causing to control an active chassis power system actuator based on a minimum voltage/current value associated with the aggregate SoF. Causing to control the active chassis power system actuator can include publishing the aggregate SoF to a braking actuator, a steering actuator, or to a domain controller that actively distributes an aggregated power supply capability SoF to a braking actuator and a steering actuator based on one or more present vehicle states.
A method for controlling a vehicle active chassis power system, comprising:
A State of Function (SoF) adaptive power management system, comprising:
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium in a vehicle State of Function (SoF) adaptive power management system, the computer-readable storage medium having instructions stored thereupon which, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to:
