Abstract
Systems and methods for prioritization temperature control within a vehicle are provided. A system can detect occupancy of a cabin of a vehicle in a first time interval. The system can determine, based on the occupancy, a climate control prioritization for the cabin and an energy storage system of the vehicle for heat exchange. The system can control heat exchange for the cabin and the energy storage system based on the climate control prioritization.
Claims20
A system, comprising:
- a data processing system comprising one or more processors coupled with memory, the data processing system configured to:
- detect occupancy of a cabin of a vehicle during a first time interval;
- determine, based on the occupancy, a climate control prioritization for one of the cabin or an energy storage system of the vehicle for heat exchange;
- and
- control heat exchange for the cabin and the energy storage system based on the determined climate control prioritization.

A method, comprising:
- detecting, by a data processing system comprising one or more processors coupled with memory, occupancy of a cabin of a vehicle during a first time interval;
- selecting, by the data processing system based on the occupancy, a prioritization control setting for one of the cabin or an energy storage system of the vehicle to prioritize for heat exchange;
- and
- controlling, by the data processing system, heat exchange for the cabin and the energy storage system based on the prioritization control setting.
1 more element
An electric delivery vehicle, comprising:
- a proximity sensor to detect occupancy of a cabin of the electric delivery vehicle;
- an energy storage system;
- a first heat exchanger configured to exchange heat with the cabin;
- a second heat exchanger configured to exchange heat with the energy storage system;
- and
- a data processing system comprising one or more processors coupled with memory to:
- detect, via the proximity sensor, the occupancy of the cabin in a first time interval;
- determine, based on the occupancy, a climate control prioritization for one of the cabin or the energy storage system for heat exchange in the first time interval;
- and
- adjust, based on the climate control prioritization, a first target for the first heat exchanger and a second target for the second heat exchanger to control heat exchange for the cabin and the energy storage system.
