Systems and methods for range estimation for towing vehicles towing self-propelled trailers

A system for estimating a driving range of a tow vehicle towing a self-propelled trailer, comprising:

• the self-propelled trailer;
• and
• the tow vehicle, comprising a computing device, wherein:
• the computing device comprises a processor and a memory, and
• the memory is configured to store instructions that, when executed by the processor, are configured to cause the processor to:
• select, using a graphical user interface of the computing device, a towing configuration,
• wherein the towing configuration comprises a tow vehicle and a self-propelled trailer;
• calculate an energy consumption rate for driving for the tow vehicle and the self-propelled trailer;
• and
• for each of the tow vehicle and the self-propelled trailer:
• calculate a total remaining energy available for driving;
• and
• calculate an estimated driving range, according to the energy consumption rate for driving and the total remaining energy available for driving.
