Intelligent Power Train Control Based on Map Information

An apparatus, comprising:

• a memory subsystem;
• and
• one or more processors configured to execute instructions stored in the memory subsystem to:
• collect data from one or more systems of a vehicle, wherein the vehicle comprises a battery,
• obtain a navigation map that represents a vehicle transportation network in a computer-interpretable form,
• determine a route for the vehicle,
• determine a target speed for travel of the vehicle along the route based on the navigation map,
• determine a state of the vehicle, wherein the state of the vehicle comprises the target speed,
• determine, by a decision-making model, whether to use a first a powertrain control mode or a second powertrain control mode based on the state of the vehicle, wherein the second powertrain control mode reduces a rate of discharge of the battery as compared to the first powertrain control mode, and
• set the vehicle to use one of the first powertrain control mode or the second powertrain control mode according to the determination by the decision-making model.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing instructions operable to cause one or more processors to perform operations comprising:

• collecting data from one or more systems of a vehicle, wherein the vehicle comprises a battery;
• obtaining a navigation map that represents a vehicle transportation network in a computer-interpretable form;
• determining a route for the vehicle;
• determining a target speed for travel of the vehicle along the route based on the navigation map;
• determining a state of the vehicle, wherein the state of the vehicle comprises the target speed;
• determining, using a decision-making model, whether to use a first a powertrain control mode or a second powertrain control mode based on the state of the vehicle, wherein the second powertrain control mode reduces a rate of discharge of the battery as compared to the first powertrain control mode;
• and
• setting the vehicle to use one of the first powertrain control mode or the second powertrain control mode according to the determination by the decision-making model.
