Abstract
A computer system comprising processing circuitry configured to obtain a first load estimate using a first load estimation technique. The processing circuitry is further configured to obtain a second load estimate using a second load estimation technique. The processing circuitry is further configured to select the first load estimate as a load on a vehicle in response to determining that the first load estimate matches with the second load estimate. The processing circuitry is further configured to manage at least one vehicle system based on the first load estimate.
Claims20
A computer system comprising processing circuitry configured to:
- obtain a first load estimate using a first load estimation technique;
- obtain a second load estimate using a second load estimation technique;
- select the first load estimate as a load on a vehicle in response to determining that the first load estimate matches with the second load estimate;
- and
- manage at least one vehicle system based on the first load estimate.
A computer-implemented method for estimating a load on a vehicle to manage at least one vehicle system, comprising:
- obtaining, by processing circuitry of a computer system, a first load estimate using a first load estimation technique;
- obtaining, by the processing circuitry, a second load estimate using a second load estimation technique;
- selecting, by the processing circuitry, the first load estimate as the load on the vehicle in response to determining that the first load estimate matches with the second load estimate;
- and
- managing, by the processing circuitry, the at least one vehicle system based on the first load estimate.
