Abstract
Illustrative examples of a vehicle system and associated methods may be directed to monitoring one or more vehicle components to prevent excess temperatures or heat. A thermal controller may be configured to determine a timer based on a predicted thermal input, and based on the timer, compare a temperature of the vehicle component to a temperature threshold. The thermal controller may be further configured to send an instruction to reduce the temperature of the vehicle component based on the comparison of the temperature to the temperature threshold.
Claims12
A vehicle system, comprising:
- a vehicle component in an interior of a vehicle;
- and
- a thermal controller configured to:
- determine a timer based on a predicted thermal input and a sleep state;
- based on the timer, compare a temperature of the vehicle component to a temperature threshold;
- and
- send an instruction to reduce the temperature of the vehicle component based on the comparison of the temperature to the temperature threshold.
