Abstract
Example implementations relate to replenishing an energy reserve of a vehicle of interest located in a zone of interest. Such examples comprise emitting, from a computer system and towards a vehicle controller of the vehicle of interest, instructions to direct the vehicle of interest towards a specific replenishing station located in the zone of interest. The specific replenishing station is assigned for replenishing the vehicle of interest based on a set of statistical data.
Claims43
A method for replenishing an energy reserve of a vehicle of interest, the vehicle of interest being located in a zone of interest, the method comprising:
- emitting, from a computer system and towards a vehicle controller of the vehicle of interest, instructions to direct the vehicle of interest towards a specific replenishing station located in the zone of interest, whereby the specific replenishing station is assigned for replenishing the vehicle of interest based on a set of statistical data.
A method for replenishing an energy reserve of a vehicle of interest located in a zone of interest, the method comprising:
- generating or receiving from a remote computer system, by a vehicle controller of the vehicle of interest, instructions to travel towards a specific replenishing station located in the zone of interest, whereby the specific replenishing station is assigned for replenishing the vehicle of interest based on a set of statistical data;
- and
- directing the vehicle of interest towards the specific replenishing station.
A vehicle of interest, the vehicle of interest being located in a zone of interest, the vehicle of interest comprising a vehicle controller, the vehicle controller comprising a vehicle processing unit and a vehicle memory, the vehicle memory being connected to the vehicle processing unit, the vehicle memory comprising instructions which, when executed by the vehicle processing unit, cause the vehicle of interest to:
- receive or generate instructions to travel towards a specific replenishing station located in the zone of interest, whereby the specific replenishing station is assigned for replenishing an energy reserve of the vehicle of interest based on a set of statistical data;
- and
- initiate movement of the vehicle of interest towards the specific replenishing station.
A computer system comprising a processor, a storage unit, a networking unit and an instruction set to cooperate with the processor and the storage unit to:
- emit, from the networking unit and towards a vehicle controller of a vehicle of interest located in a zone of interest, instructions to direct the vehicle of interest towards a specific replenishing station located in the zone of interest, whereby the specific replenishing station is assigned for replenishing an energy reserve of the vehicle of interest based on a set of statistical data.
A specific replenishing station, the specific replenishing station being located in a zone of interest, the specific replenishing station comprising a station controller, the station controller comprising a station processing unit and a station memory, the station memory being connected to the station processing unit, the station memory comprising instructions which, when executed by the station processing unit, cause the specific replenishing station to:
- replenish an energy reserve of a vehicle of interest located in the zone of interest based on a set of statistical data.
A non-transitory machine-readable storage medium encoded with instructions executable by a processor, the machine-readable storage medium comprising:
- instruction to emit, from a networking unit of a computer system and towards a vehicle controller of a vehicle of interest located in a zone of interest, instructions to direct the vehicle of interest towards a specific replenishing station located in the zone of interest, whereby the specific replenishing station is assigned for replenishing an energy reserve of the vehicle of interest based on a set of statistical data.
A non-transitory machine-readable storage medium encoded with instructions executable by a processor, the machine-readable storage medium comprising:
- instructions to receive, from a remote computer system, at a vehicle of interest located in a zone of interest, instructions to travel towards a specific replenishing station located in the zone of interest, whereby the specific replenishing station is assigned for replenishing an energy reserve of the vehicle of interest with energy based on a set of statistical data;
- and
- instructions to direct the vehicle of interest towards the specific replenishing station.
