Abstract
A computer system having processing circuitry configured to handle power management of a vehicle is provided. The vehicle has a power source arranged to supply power via a Power Take-Off interface to a first equipment. The computer system obtains a power management condition indicative of power availability and/or usage of power associated with the power source for a first period of time. The computer system is configured to produce a first cost function indicative of the power management condition during the first period of time. The computer system is configured to provide the first cost function to the first equipment.
Claims15
A computer system comprising processing circuitry configured to handle power management of a vehicle, wherein the vehicle comprises a power source arranged to supply power via a Power Take-Off, PTO, interface to a first equipment, the computer system further being configured to:
- obtain a power management condition indicative of power availability and/or usage of power associated with the power source for a first period of time,
- produce a first cost function indicative of the power management condition during the first period of time, and
- provide the first cost function to the first equipment.
A computer-implemented method, for handling power management of a vehicle, wherein the vehicle comprises a power source arranged to supply power via a Power Take-Off, PTO, interface to a first equipment, the method comprising:
- by a processing circuitry of a computer system, obtaining a power management condition indicative of power availability and/or usage of power associated with the power source for a first period of time,
- by the processing circuitry, producing a first cost function indicative of the power management condition during the first period of time,
- by the processing circuitry, providing the first cost function to the first equipment.
