Systems and methods for identifying modifications to terrain characteristics of a worksite for battery performance

A method for identifying modifications to a worksite for battery optimization of a battery electric machine traversing the worksite, the worksite being segmented according to a plurality of predetermined route segments, the method comprising:

• identifying, using a processor, candidate predetermined route segments from among the plurality of predetermined route segments for which to modify a current terrain to improve battery usage and/or battery health for the battery electric machine upon future traversal of said candidate predetermined route segments compared to future traversal of said candidate predetermined route segments each having the current terrain without modification, said identifying candidate predetermined route segments being based on current terrain data and historical battery usage and/or historical battery health data for the candidate predetermined route segments;
• outputting, on a display device, each of the identified candidate predetermined route segments for which to modify the current terrain to improve battery usage and/or battery health for the battery electric machine upon future traversal of said candidate predetermined route segments;
• and
• outputting, on the display device, in response to selection of at least one of the candidate predetermined route segments:
• specific modification information to modify the current terrain of the selected at least one candidate predetermined route segments to improve battery usage and/or battery health for the battery electric machine, and/or
• estimated battery usage improvement information and/or estimated battery health improvement information associated with the specific modification information for the current terrain of the selected candidate predetermined route segments,
• wherein said outputting on the display device each of the identified candidate predetermined route segments for which to modify the current terrain to improve battery usage and/or battery health for the battery electric machine upon future traversal of said candidate predetermined route segments is such that the identified candidate predetermined route segments are displayed on the display device according to prioritization in terms of greatest to least amount of improvement of the battery usage and/or the battery health.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having stored thereon instructions that, when executed by one or more processors, causes the one or more processors to perform a method comprising:

• determining, using current terrain data and historical battery usage data and/or battery health data, one or more of candidate route segments of a worksite to modify to improve battery usage and/or battery health for a vehicle upon future traversal of the one or more candidate route segments by the vehicle;
• controlling output of, on a display device, each of the determined one or more of the candidate route segments for which to modify;
• controlling output of, on the display device, estimated battery usage improvement information and/or estimated battery health improvement information for at least one selected candidate route segment from among the determined one or more of the candidate route segments;
• and
• outputting, via a wireless network, signaling that eludes instructions to modify the at least one selected candidate route segment to improve the battery usage and/or the battery health according to the estimated battery usage improvement information and/or estimated battery health improvement information,
• wherein said outputting signaling is to one or more autonomous vehicles to perform the modification to the selected at least one of the candidate route segment to improve the battery usage and/or the battery health.
