Method and apparatus for moving mass estimation based on energy balance

A system comprising:

• a controller comprising one or more processors and one or more memory devices storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform operations including:
• receiving an indication of a transmission of a vehicle being in a continuously single setting;
• receiving an indication of a brake event of the vehicle;
• determining a first energy value regarding the vehicle based on the transmission being in the continuously single setting and the indication of the brake event;
• receiving an indication of a change in operation of at least one of the transmission and the brake event;
• determining a second energy value regarding the vehicle based on the indication of the change in operation of the at least one of the transmission and the brake event;
• based on the first and second energy values, determining a value regarding the vehicle;
• and
• controlling operation of a component of the vehicle based on the determined value.

A non-transitory computer readable media comprising instructions stored thereon that, when executed by one or more processors of a processing circuit, cause the one or more processors to perform operations including:

• receiving an indication of a transmission of a vehicle being in a continuously single setting;
• receiving an indication of a brake event of the vehicle;
• determining a first energy value regarding the vehicle based on the transmission being in the continuously single setting and the indication of the brake event;
• receiving an indication of a change in operation of at least one of the transmission and the brake event;
• determining a second energy value regarding the vehicle based on the indication of the change in operation of the at least one of the transmission and the brake event;
• based on the first and second energy values, determining a value regarding the vehicle;
• and
• controlling operation of a component of the vehicle based on the determined value.
